![]() ![]() CONDITION: Wormholes in margins with some loss of type some browning & humidity stains missing blank endpaper blank margins of the first few pages torn title page right corner missing with part of portrait, privilege, place & date, & part of a poem on verso missing last leaf of the Errata & of leaf 259 (these 3 leaves are supplied here in a high-quality recto/verso facsimile). The chapter "Habito", in the section "Huomo", including a description of 135 clothing & textile words, leaves 207v-210v (paragraphs 1535-1555) the chapter "Colori" in the section "Cielo - Mercurio" including a description of ca 60 colors (including "Ricamatore" (embroidery) & "Aragne" (lace)), leaves 109v-111r (paragraphs 812-823) & the chapter "Mercatantia" in the section "Cielo" includes 130 business & commercial words, leaves 102v-105v (paragraphs 755-779). DESCRIPTION: A dictionary-thesaurus, one of the very first of its kind, based on the use of words by classical Greek, Roman & medieval Italian authors, especially Petrarca, Dante, Boccaccio, Ariosto, Sannazaro & Vergil, organized into 10 sections reflecting the Italian renaissance view of the world: Dio (god), Cielo (the heavens), Monde (the earth), Elementi (the elements), Anima (spiritual life), Corpo (the body), Huomo (human beings), Qualità (qualities), Quantità (quantities), & Inferno (hell). It is likely that the main body of the work, leaves 1-259 & the 2 tables, were printed in 1546, & perhaps 1547, with the unpaginated preliminary matter added later in early January 1548. This appears to be the first edition of 1546 as stated on leaf 259v, although the preliminary matter is dated "Gennaio. Con priuilegio del Sommo Pontefice Paolo III. NELLA QVALE SI CONTENGONO TVTTE LE VOCI DI DANTE, DEL PETRARCA, del Boccaccio, & altri buoni autori, con la dichiaratione di quelle, & con le sue interpretationi Latine, con le queli si ponno scriuenndo isprimere tutti i concetti dell'huomo di qualunque cosa creata.
