Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Pp. [24], 262. [2- new books]. Full later calf. First English translation by Nathaniel Walker of the famous Italian work on the courtier by Giovanni Della Casa, (1503-1556). Walker notes in his comments to the reader that it is part a translation or paraphrase and that he has 'but mean knowledge of Italian', and admits to adding and enlarging to create a virtually new book. A very nice copy of the rare first edition of this work. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 017310

Full of sound advice, for example: "Make no loud expression of mirth or sorrow, for both are improper and tedious. Don't therefore (as you may observe too many inconsiderately do) molest the company by your singing, or create sadness in them by telling doleful stories, especially if they have not any relation to you." Portrait frontispiece lacking, front and rear blanks present, some browning and damp staining. Endpapers renewed, contemporary blind panelled calf, rebacked, board corners worn and showing. Occasional underlining of text. Some slight worm damage to inner margin from approx p140 - p180 with occasional encroachment into text but with negligible impact on readability. Book.
