Description
Beautiful verso, engraved full-page image of Apollo with his foot and forces a poet (?) to kneel in front of Petrarca. Brand name printing on the cover page. Following on the table f.t. a fine portrait of the author in an oval that carries his name Arcadian (Mirtilo Dianidio; the last paper this is taken up in Greek characters inside view of the celestial signs) placed in a beautiful rural landscape with a view of the towers of Bologna and a sonnet that describes the appearance and character of the poet. Beautiful caps and finalini engraved. Rare. Work summary of the work of the poet and playwright, protagonist of the literary scene of the Bolognese of that age. From the Biographical Dictionary Treccani: “The Songbook,dedicated to cardinal Benedetto Pamphili, already legate of Bologna, even adopting a title programmatically petrarch, has the undisputed merit of extending the canon of poetic compositions, admitting almost all the genres in which the now mature M. it was nominated for. The focus of the recent criticism has instead focused exclusively on the group of rhymes to the death of Osmino (the son, John the Baptist), extrapolated from their original context to be published separately, leaving you completely in the shade the rest of the Songbook. The Comentario, a large preface of the Songbook, which is a remarkable commitment the theoretical and the original invention, is set in the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican, where the presence of the same M., the painter Carlo Maratta, and of the spouses G. B. F. and Faustina (Maratha) Hoe, it pretends to attend to a dispute in front of Apollo between G. B. Marino, F. Petrarca, and their respective followers.”
