Zustand: Buono (Good). FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITIONLarge 8vo (215x136 mm). 399, [1] pp. Collation: A-BB8. Illustrated with 37 woodcut vignette in text. Text printed in italics in two columns, containing 10 octaves per page. Woodcut printer's devise on the title page, other full-page printer's device on last leaf verso. Colophon and privilege on p. 399. Late 18th-century brown calf, gilt spine covered with red morocco, gilt edges (slightly rubbed). Livio Ambrogio's bookplate on the front pastedown. A very good, clean copy.First illustrated edition (second overall) of this chivalric poem in ottava rima intended as a continuation of Ariosto's Orlando Furioso and dedicated by the author to his patron Ercole d'Este.The work was first published by Marcolini in 1550 without woodcuts. The 1550 edition was then reissued in 1553 in what appears to be a forgery or rather an altered variant (cf. S. Casali, Gli annali della tipografia veneziana di Francesco Marcolini, Bologna, 1953, pp. 253-254). A third edition in four volumes was published in Venice in 1837-1838. This second 1553 edition is also preferable for the text as it was revised by the author and corrected by a ?Diligente Academico Pelegrino', as stated in the title, identifiable with Lodovico Dolce (1508-1568), who improved the orthography and punctuation in particular.Continuing the narration of Ariosto's Furioso, Brusantini connected the events of Angelica, separated from Medoro by the intervention of the sorceress Alcina, with those of Ruggero and Bradamante. To the latter Brusantini gave particular importance, with a clear encomiastic intention: the son of Ruggero and Bradamante is in fact celebrated by him as the progenitor of the Este lineage.Vincenzo Brusantini (or Brusantino) was born in Ferrara in the early decades of the 16th century. Very little biographical information is known about him. A man of letters, he was a friend and correspondent of Pietro Aretino, but had no luck in his career as court poet. He went to Rome in search of ecclesiastical benefits, but received none and instead ended up in prison for reasons that remain obscure to this day. He regained his freedom and wandered around Italy in search of accommodation, which he finally found in Ferrara at the court of Ercole II d'Este. In 1554, Marcolini printed Brusantini's second literary work (Le cento novelle da messer Vincenzo Brugiantino dette in ottava rima), an octava rima version of Boccaccio's Decameron, dedicated to the Duke of Parma, Ottavio Farnese. Brusantini died in Ferrara around 1570 (cf. Brusantini, Vincenzo, in: ?Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani?, vol. 14, Rome, 1972, s.v.).BMCSTC Italian, p. 129; Edit 16, CNCE7740; Casali, Op. cit., pp. 251-251, no. 100. Book.…

Excellent. Provenance: Tollemache, Earls of Dysart, Helmingham (supralibros, engraved armorial bookplate on title verso, note on front pastedown in hand of Lionel Tollemache, fourth Earl). This is the fourth complete printing (first 1584) of the first complete English translation of Virgil's "Aeneid", translated by Thomas Phaer (c. 1510-1560), who was responsible for the first nine books, and Thomas Twyne (c.1500-1581), who translated the final three after Phaer's death. The Phaer-Twyne translation was preceded by Gavin Douglas' version in Scots (1553) and a fragmentary verse translation (books 2 and 4) by Henry Howard, Duke of Surrey (1557). "The complete translation of the 'Aeneid' by Thomas Phaer and Thomas Twyne has every reason to be considered the central English Renaissance 'Aeneid.' The publication history tells the story succinctly. Whereas no other translation of Virgil was printed in England more than twice until the 1650s (and only the Earl of Surrey's translation of Book 4 was printed more than once in England during this time), the translation by Phaer and Twyne went through eight editions, running from 1558 through to 1620. It influenced the translations by Richard Stanyhurst (1582), Sir John Harington (1604) and Sir Thomas Wroth (1620), and it was still one of the most important subtexts for John Vicars' 'The XII Aeneids of Virgil' (1632). Much as the translation by Annibale Caro came to dominate the market for Virgil in Italian, the Phaer-Twyne 'Aeneid' became the English standard. It was not until the eighteenth century that any English translation of Virgil's epic went through more editions. "That this translation would become so successful would have been difficult to predict from its inauspicious beginnings. The initial translator, Thomas Phaer, was a physician and solicitor in the Marches of Wales. He published nothing else in verse and would have made an unlikely candidate for a great interpreter of Virgil. Nevertheless, in 1555 he began work, hoping to be the first to 'sette open' the gate so that future translators could follow. Although Phaer seems to have been aware of both the Middle Scots translation by Gavin Douglas and the two books by the Earl of Surrey, he presented his version of the Aeneid as the start of a new line of translations. By December 1557, Phaer had completed a version of Books 1-7. He had these printed in 1558. By April 1560, he had completed up to the end of Book 9. But late in that spring, he suffered a riding accident that ruined his hand and would soon cost him his life. "Before his death on 12 August, he sent all that he had finished of his translation - which was then up to line 286 of Book 10 - to William Wightman, a friend of his in Pembrokeshire. This friend fervently believed in Phaer's literary gifts and, after Phaer had passed away, he searched the deceased's house for any trace of remaining verses. But there was none to be found. In 1562, Wightman resigned himself to publishing what he had of Phaer's Virgil, hoping that another author might complete the project. Just over a decade later, the work was taken up by Thomas Twyne, who was a physician in London.…
