Item description from seller

Extremely rare Paris edition of a work that explores love, nature, and morality through a series of question and answers. The present copy has been beautifully bound by Georges Trautz (1808-1879) and Antoine Bauzonnet (1795-1882), the leading bookbinders of 19th-century France. This engaging Humanist text was originally published in Venice in 1552 and quickly became popular, with numerous editions and translations recorded. The first French translation appeared in Lyon in 1558 and was subsequently reprinted several times. The present Paris edition, however, appears to be particularly scarce and is only recorded by Gay.Ortensio Lando, or Landi (ca. 1510-ca. 1560) was an author and translator. He studied arts in Milan and medicine in Bologna, but his temper and heterodox religious views repeatedly brought him into conflict with the authorities. Forced to leave Italy in 1534, he settled for a time at Lyon, where he met and worked with the celebrated printer and humanist Étienne Dolet (1509-1546). He moved back and forth between Italy, Switzerland, and France several times, but returned once more to Italy, where he was welcomed in Brescia by the Venetian governor Antonio da Mula. After travelling extensively through Italy and attending the opening stages of the Council of Trent, he eventually settled in Venice, where he spent the remainder of his life.Other than the present work, he translated works by Cicero and Thomas More, and authored a series of twenty short essays defending unconventional propositions, such as that poverty is better than wealth. His works often contain comments on the morality and customs of the time, innovative philosophical and literary ideas, and sometimes even overt attacks on the prevailing religious ideas of his time. All of his books were placed onto the Index.With the bookplate of D. Labouly (20th century) tipped onto the verso of the first free flyleaf, and the gilt stamp of the Parisian bookbinding studio of Trautz-Bauzonnet (1851-1879) on the front turn-in. The binding shows only minor traces of use. The leaves are lightly browned, the ink from the bookplate has transferred slightly to the opposite page. Otherwise in very good condition.l Gay Lemonnyer III, 911; cf. Pettegree & Walsby 32594 (first French ed.); not in Adams; NUC; STC Italy; USTC. Mid-19th-century gold-tooled morocco by Trautz-Bauzonnet, with the title and imprint lettered in gold on the spine, a central ornament on both boards, gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins, marbled endpapers, gilt and marbled edges. The work is housed in a decorative paper slipcase. With a woodcut printer's device on the title, several decorated woodcut initials, and woodcut head- and tailpieces. Pages: "118" [=178] ll.
