Aldo Manuzio il giovane

 

Vita di Cosimo de Medici

 

 Bologna - Aldo Manuzio

 

1586

 

First edition

 

 

Rare Aldine edition of the Life of Cosimo dei Medici,  "Vita di Cosimo de i Medici" written by Aldo Mannucci (Aldo Manuzio the younger) and printed in Bologna by the same Manuzio the younger in 1586.

Beautiful full-page copperplate etched frontispiece attributed to Agostino Carracci.  Notable figurative initials and a copperplate etched map of Tuscany measuring 4.5 x 5.75 inches done by Girolamo Franco.

Very small wormhole on the frontispiece.  Pages 1, 5, and 7 with a reinforcement on the inner margin.  A few stains, a few sporadic and handsome marginalia.  Page 187 seems to have been washed in that it has lost its original crispness.  The last page has a repair to the upper corner of the margin.  Despite this, it is a fresh and clean copy of a truly rare book printed in an impeccable manner.

Bibliography: Renouard 238/5, British Museum page 412, Adams M/457.

Provenience: purchased from the Libreria Antiquaria Mediolanum, Milan (Italy).

Handsome original binding in full vellum, probably recased in the '70s.  Handwritten title and author on spine.

Pages: 6 + one original blank + 188 + 2 + one blank (probably original). Complete

Size: Folio 12.5 in. x  8.75 in.

The book will be shipped via courier directly from Europe for a flat rate of $30.
