hypnerotomachia poliphili, colonna, Prima edizione (14 risultati)

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. First paperback edition 2005. "One of the most famous books in the world, The Strife of Love in a Dream, read by every Renaissance intellectual and referred to in studies of art and culture ever since, was first translated into English and published by Thames & Hudson in 1999, exactly 500 years after its original publication in Venice. It is a strange, pagan, pedantic, erotic, allegorical, mythological romance relating in highly stylized Italian the quest of Poliphilo for his beloved Polia. The author, a friar of dubious reputation, was obsessed by architecture, landscape and costume---it is not going too far to say sexually obsessed---and its 174 woodcuts are a primary source for Renaissance ideas on both buildings and gardens."[]"A masterpiece of erotics and exoticism, a daring and sensual book." (Choice) A clean & tight copy, unread in Near Fine condition; despite a slight bump to the lower front corner, quite presentable in French flaps cover.

Aldine Press (illustratore). folio (308 x 212 mm). early limp vellum, yap edges, paper spine label with title and date. a-y8, z10, A-E8, F3. First edition of one of the most celebrated incunables, considered by many to be the most beautiful of all printed Venetian books of the Renaissance. The presumed author, Francesco Colonna, was a Dominican monk of the Zattere at Venice (the author's identity did not become evident until the 18th century when it was noticed that the 38 initials of the individual sections form the famous acrostic: "Poliam Frater Franciscus Columna Peramavit" - Brother Franciscus Columna loved Polia very much). The Hypnertomachia Poliphili was printed in Venice by Aldus Manutius in his re-cut Bembo type, which was cast by Francesco Griffo of Bologna. The book has become extremely rare in recent years and is a highly desired "masterpiece of integrated text and design, and influences designers to this day." -G. Scott Clemens. This copy is in the original setting as called for by Neil Harris (Gutenberg Jarbuch, 2006), except the last few leaves which were substituted for the 2nd edition (E1-F3). Hand-corrected letters "AM" in the second title (a1r). (Saneque en Sanequam). The phallic woodcuts 'Sacrifice to Priapus' on m6r and the woodcut on x8v, are not mutilated in this folio, unlike the majority of copies. Vellum binding lightly age-darkened, with minor spotting to the rear cover. Natural creasing to the vellum covers. The textblock has separated along the front hinge but is still attached along the spine. Rear hinge cracked between the rear cover and F3. Paper spine label chipped with some loss. Lacking the front pastedown. Title page (A1) has become separated from the textblock, but is present in this copy. The last eleven (11) leaves in this copy are from the 2nd edition (1545, France), substituted most likely during the 16th century. There are 34 (of 39) woodcut initials present, as the last five were in the last eleven leaves of the first edition. Lacking the last leaf (errata and colophon). Very minor spotting / foxing to preliminary pages. Spotting / minor dampstaining to the very top edge of q8v-r4r. Dampstaining only affecting leaves C8-D8. A small ink-spot affecting the edges of the pages around r4-r6. The preserved state of the textblock, which contains the revolutionary typography and visually-stunning wood engravings, is remarkable. Considered the "masterpiece of the classic style in Venetian illustration" (Albert Ilg, Ueber den Kunsthistorischen Werth der H. P., 1872), the tome was printed with 172 remarkable woodcuts commonly attributed to the Paduan miniature painter Benedetto Berdone (c.1455/6 - 1530). Regardless of the anonymity of the illustrator, the beauty of the engravings transport the reader into a world where Polipho's dream becomes a reality. George D. Painter, Keeper in charge of Incunabula of the British Museum, stated in the foreword of his Hypnerotomachia Poliphili of 1499 (Eugrammia Press, 1963) that "Gutenberg's Forty-Two-Line Bible of 1455 and the Hypnerotomachia of 1499 confront one another from opposite ends of the incunable period with equal and contrasting pre-eminence. The Gutenberg Bible is sombrely and sternly German, Gothic, Christian and mediaeval; the Hypnerotomachia is radiantly and graciously Italian, classic, pagan, and renascent. These are the two supreme masterpieces of the art of printing, and stand at the two poles of human endeavour and desire." The book is written in a Latinized version of Italian, offering a unique challenge to readers, as one must be near fluent in both Latin and Italian. Also contained in the text are various examples of Greek, which Manutius was very fond of, as well as early examples of Hebrew. One of the earliest documented cases of COMPLETE words in Arabic published in the entire world which can be found on the illustrated wood engraving of the three doors of the realm of Queen Telosia (h8r), perhaps one of the most important aspects about the Hypnerotomachia. This precedes the first book printed entirely in Arabic, which is The Kitab Salat al i (1514, Fano, Italy). The book contains two main stories in the text: one from our hero, Poliphilo, which was written around 1490, and one from his lover, Polia, which was written c.1467. There are numerous passages in Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and Egyptian hieroglyphics, as well as mathematical notes, geometric and architectural construction plans, and more, perhaps inspired by Colonna's teachings of rhetoric at Treviso and Padua.

2 volumes. FIRST PRINTING OF THIS IMPORTANT LIMITED EDITION, one of only 400 copies on Hollande paper of a total edition of only 410. With a great profusion of illustrations throughout the text being woodcuts after those first issued in the original first edition of 1499 now re-engraved by A. Prunaire. Large 8vo, very handsomely bound in contemporary three-quarter brown morocco over marbled boards, the spines with wide raised bands ruled in blind, two compartments with gilt lettering, marbled endpapers. ccxxxvii, 379; 458 pp. A very handsome set, the bindings very attractive and in fine shape with just a little rubbing at the extremities, the text all fine but for the lightest of spotting to which the Hollande paper is prone, in this case it is very minor. A VERY SCARCE AND BEAUTIFUL EDITION OF COLONNA'S GREAT ROMANCE, THE DREAM OF POLIPHILI, THE MOST MAGNIFICENT AND SERENELY BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE. With scholarly notes and a long and very fine introduction and translation Claude Popelin. One of the great works of the early Renaissance, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili presents a mysterious arcane allegory in which the main protagonist, Poliphilo pursues his love, Polia, through a dreamlike landscape. In the end, he is reconciled with her by the "Fountain of Venus". The original edition, published in 1499, has long been sought after as one of the most beautiful incunabula printed. Here we see that tradition of the printer's craftsmanship brought to the modern period with woodcuts skillfully copied from French editions dating back to 1546. The illustrations were so striking for their time that the HYPNEROTOMACHIA served as a sort of pattern-book, influencing book illustration styles all over Europe. For some time, attribution of the illustrations was made to Giovanni Bellini (ca. 1430-1516) or to Raffaello Sanzio (1483-1520) but it is a fact of course, that present scholarship can only conjecture as to the true artist. "[A]rtists.craftsmen.decorators got hold of this incomparable album of compositins in the antique taste. In the countries beyond the Alps its repercussions are even more clearly traceable than in Italy itself, where a greater variety of other sources for the study of clasical forms were to be found. In the north an astonishing proportion of all Renaissance ornament and accessory design can clearly be proved to derive from Colonna's POLIPHILO" (E.P. Goldschmidt, 'The Printed Bookof the Renaissance, 1950, 52). The text, attributed to "Franciscus Columna" is based on the fact that the woodcut initials form an acrostic of his name, is a blending of the courtly romance of the Middle Ages with the revival of classical culture. It has recently been argued that the hidden autor was not the traditional candidate but rather the Servite friar Eliseo da Treviso (fl. 145-1506): see two articles by Piero Scapecchi in "Accademie e bibloteche d'Italia, 1983: 286sqq. and 1985: 68 sqq. This revised opinion is not strongly grounded however. Collona's authorship is implied by several contemporary evidences. The aforementioned acrostic (POLIAM FRATER FRANCISVS COLCMNA PERAMAVIT), the unique setting of the first sheet ( l.4) of HYPNEROTOMACHIA preserved in a Berlin copy (presumably a rare cancellandum) contains Italian verse by on Matteo Visconti of Brescia refering more openly to ".Francisco alta columna l Per cui phama imortal de voi [scil. Polia, and Visconti's own loved one Laurea] rissona." Finally, an act of the Dominican order; of 5 June 1501,instructed that Francesco Colonna should be compelled to repay expenses which the Provincial of the Order had incurred "on account of the printed book." George Painter, in his fascinating essay, gives an appropriate context to the book: "Gutenberg's Forty-two-Line Bible of 1455 and the HYPNEROTOMACHIA of 1499 confront one another from opposite ends of the incunable period with equal and contrasting pre-eminence. The Gutenberg Bible is somberly and sternly German, gothic, Christian, and medieval; the HYPNEROTOMACHIA is radiantly and graciously Italian, classic, pagan, and renascent. These are the two supreme masterpieces of the art of printing, and stand at the two poles of human endeavour and desire." The text, attributed to "Franciscus Colonna", is a blending of the courtly romance of the Middle Ages with the revival of classical culture. In search of his lost love, Polia, Polifilo is carried through a dream-world of pyramids and obelisks, ruined temples, bacchanalian festivals, and other classical scenes before finding her and attaining enlightenment at the temple of Venus. It "teaches that all human existence is no more than a dream, and along the way records many things most worthy of knowledge.".
