Description

- Jacopo Mazzochi, Rome 15 novembre 1515, petit in-4 (14x20cm), (6 f.), relié. - VITALI Giano Epistola de ingressu Gallorum in Mediolanum Jacopo Mazzochi, Rome November 15, 1515, small in-4 (14 x 20 cm), (6f.), full red polished morocco First edition embellished with an architectural title frontispiece. The title is in gothic font, and the text is in Roman and Greek fonts. The last two pages of the book contains a poem by Giano Vitali dedicated to Francesco Santilio called "ne petat ubi belle excercentur." Binding in full red polished morocco, spine uniformly sunned Jansenist binding, with the title, gilt date and place, gilt roll-stamp framing the endpapers and pastedowns in marbled paper. A very tiny scratch on the spine head. An old stamp erased on the page of the frontispiece. Provenance: the library of Gianni de Marco with his book plate and his seal. The work was published by Jacopo Mazzochi, one of the most prolific publishers in Rome in the beginning of the 16th century. From 1510, he started the trend of the architectural frontispiece, an entry gate in the book (E.P. Goldschmidt). In this open letter addressed to his friend, Ottavio Silvio, the humanist poet Giano Vitali relates, an eyewitness account of the triumphant entrance of Francis I of France in Milan and siege the of the imperial city. The monarch, inspired by the Italian war undertaken by Charles VII twenty years earlier, claimed possession of the duchy of Milan. In the spring of 1515, after having assembled 30,000 men, he marched on Italy, succeeding in thwarting the Swiss blockade on the route of Mont-Cenis. The victory of Marignan occurred several months later, the 16th of October 1515, in Milan. Giano recounts in the book the fervor of the battle with the Swiss, the dissent prevailing in the entourage of Maximilien Sforza and the magnanimity of the latter who had surrendered without exercising reprisals. We have found four copies referenced in the European catalogues. One at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, in the National Library of Italy, one in the Royal Dutch Library and finally a copy in the Columbus Library of Seville. The latter has a note by Fernando Colomb, the most illustrious son of the famous discoverer of the Indies, who explained that he acquired the book in Rome in November 1515. Such a rare change is explained by the fact that the pamphlets were produced at the time at the periodical office and thus only had a short life expectancy. It is important to highlight that French pamphlets were a true news bulletin, flourished actually up to the moment of the Italians wars (1494-1559). Rare and maybe the last copy privately owned of this pamphlet, recounting the entrance of François I of France in Milan. $ 10 000 [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Édition originale, ornée d'un titre frontispice architectural.

L'ouvrage a été publié par Jacopo Mazzochi, l'un des imprimeurs les plus prolifiques de la Rome du début du XVIème siècle. Dès 1510, il initia la tendance du frontispice architectural, portique d'entrée dans le livre (E.P. Goldschmidt). Dans cette lettre ouverte adressée à son ami Ottavio Silvio, le poète humaniste Giano Vitali relate, en témoin oculaire, l'entrée triomphale de François Ier à Milan et le siège de la cité impériale. Le monarque, dans la lignée des guerres italiennes entreprises par Charles VIII vingt ans plus tôt, revendiqu
