A propos de cet article

FIRST EDITION thus. 8vo. pp. ‘441’ i.e. 141. Italic and Roman letter. T-p within monumental 136 woodcut emblems including the ‘arbori,’ each within woodcut architectural and typographical borders, all woodcuts by Pierre Eskrich of Lyon (also known as Pierre Vase, some signed ‘PV’), except the arbori which are from herbals. T-p slightly dusty, small lateral tear. Very small light waterstain to upper blank corner, larger to C8-D1 just touching border. A very good, clean copy, ruled in ink, faded, in c.1900 binding preserving covers from contemp. French (probably Paris) calf gold-tooled binding, geometrical design of interlaces painted in blue, green, black and white, central arabesque with mottled design, rubbed with slight losses, all edges gilt, front pastedown with engraved 1912 bookplate of Allan Haywood Bright (1862-1941), Liberal politician and bibliophile. A rare and lovely copy of the first Italian translation of Andrea Alciato’s (1492-1550) Emblemata, in an attractive binding preserving the panels of a contemporary French, probably Lyonnaise gold-tooled binding with painted coloured interlaces. There are 136 emblems, including the 11 ‘arbori’ or trees at the end, all set within an incredibly diverse and beautiful collection of woodcut borders. Alciato’s Emblemata, first published Augsburg 1531, is one of the most famous books of the Renaissance and the originator of the Emblems genre, which combined epigraphs and verses with enigmatic symbols and images to convey a moral message illustrative of virtues or vices. Giovanni Marquale was mostly likely a publisher working in Venice. He did not simply reproduce Alciato’s texts but provided ‘an autonomous text which has strengths of its own … Marquale clearly aims at stylistic elaboration and enrichment, including the use of rhyme [and several metres] … He has a systematic tendency to reduce and simplify the moralising content: for Marquale, one moral message per emblem seems to suffice’ (Richard Greenwood, ‘Marquale’s Italian Version’ in Emblems in Glasgow (Glasgow: 1992), p. 58). The emblems are grouped according to their moral messages, as follows: divinity and religion, faith, prudence, strength, concord, hope, faithlessness, insanity, luxury, sloth, gluttony, astrology, love, fortune, princes, death, friendship, vengeance, peace, science, ignorance and marriage. ‘The editions of Alciati’s Emblems, issued by Rouille and Macé or Mathias Bonhomme, at Lyons, from the year 1548 up to 1516, are by far the longest and most important series ever printed, both as regards the designs and engravings of the wood-cuts, with very elaborate borders on every page, as well as the variety of the translations, and the completeness and fulness of the Emblems’ (Sears, p. 14). The engravings are by Pierre Eskrich, a Protestant engraver born in Paris. This was one of his first commissions for the Lyon printers, where he arrived in 1548, and also probably one of the last, as he is supposed to have fled to Geneva around 1550. The final section, ‘Arbori’ or trees, is made up of 11 illustrations using elegant cuts taken directly from herbals, each accompanied by a short verse. These were the last emblems to be added by Alciato to his work, which continued to grow after his death. The trees shown here are the cyprus, oak, laurel, fir, quince, holm-oak, ivy, box, willow, almond and mulberry An edition was issued simultaneously by Rouille as part of the partnership with Bonhomme, priority not established: ‘they are … essentially the same but seem to have been issued each by its respective publisher’ (Green).
