Venice: Ongania, Ferd, 1879. Two miniature volumes bound as one. 354; 231; (6)pp. One of 1,000 numbered copies. This is copy number 1, and it is signed by Ongania below the limitation statement. With two portrait frontispieces and numerous, exquisite engraved vignettes throughout. Includes six sonnets which had recently been discovered by G. Veludo, the dedicatee, under a separate title. As Bondy notes, "The pagination of volume 2 [jumps] from page 7 to page 16 to allow for the insertion of the sei sonetti di Francesco Petrarca scoperti e publicati da G'. Veludo"; however, in this volume, the six sonnets are bound at the end. Ongania explains in his preface that this edition is uniform with Salmin's famous "fly's eye type" miniature Dante of the previous year, the success of which inspired him to produce the Petrarch. Ongania's penchant for laudatory mimicry led him to pioneer the use of new photomechanical processes in art books and in facsimiles. Bound in full brown leather with gilt tooling to covers and spine. Slight wear to covers and evidence of hinge repair to front free endpapers, else a fine copy of an exquisitely printed work. (Houghton 270; Bondy, pp. 96-97; Mikrobiblion 189; Welsh 5665; American Art Association 152). (2 7/8 by 2 1/2; 73x64mm).

Description:
Livorno, Italy: Dai Torchi Di Glauco Masi, 1820. 1/4 leather. Very Good +. Lovely 1820 edition of one of the first great modern collections of love poetry, written by the Renaissance poet viewed as the "first true reviver of learning in Medieval Europe" (Encyclopedia Britannica). The story of Petrarch's love for Laura is well-known but the spirituality and complexity of this love and the cataclysmic loss he felt at her death can be understood only by reading this cycle of his poems. Bound in a modern 1/4 red morocco over marbled boards (with matching marbled endpapers). 5 raised bands, gilt-rule and gilt-devices within the compartments. A solidly VG+ copy, with very light staining confined to the upper inner margins of the first third of Vol. I. This edition is very handsomely printed as well. Masi, the printer, boats on the title page that it is printed with types supplied by Fermin Didot, the great Parisian printer. Each volume has a lithographed frontispiece portrait accomplished on the stone by…
