BASILEAE: APUD NIC. EPISCOPIUM IUN., 1558. In 16. Dim. 17x12 cm. Pp. 32 (n.n.)+350+2 (n.n.). Rara edizione del 1558 di quest'opera scritta da Cristophe Longueil (1488-1522) umanista francescano. Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità. Nella prima parte la sua vita, poi l'epistolario. Numerose note manoscritte all'interno. Marca editoriale all'ultima carta. Titolo manoscritto al taglio inferiore.

LUGDUNI: APUD SEB. GRYPHIUM, 1548. In 16. Dim. 17x11 cm. Pp. 402+(14). Edizione del 1548 di questa nota opera letteraria scritta da Adriano Castellesi (ca 1485-1521) nato a Corneto (antico nome di Tarquinia) detto anche Adriano da Corneto. Castellesi fu grechista, ebraista, autore di poemetti, opere di stile, grammatiche e filosofico-teologiche. Espertissimo di affari, si arricchì enormemente destando in tal modo l'invidia di Cesare Borgia che tentò di avvelenarlo. Andato in esilio e ritornato in patria all'avvento di Leone X, dovette ritornarvi perchè accusato di aver preso parte alla congiura del Cardinale Petrucci. Da questo momento in poi non si sa più nulla di lui: sembra che sia stato assassinato a scopo di furto da uno dei suoi servitori. Il volume è un'opera didattica latina che riporta termini utilizzati in sentenze classiche latine. Alla fine risulta molto interessante il poema sulla caccia organizzata dal Cardinale Ascanio Sforza nei pressi… Read More
