Schorsch on the front pastedown. Rare first edition of Camillo Camilli's Imprese illustri, an important sixteenth century work on impresa, the popular symbolic devices of illustrious men. The elegant engravings were by Giralomo Porro (1520-1604), who is cited on the title page and in the dedication by the author. Notably, Camilli's book contains the impresa of Sir Henry Lee, an important Elizabethan courtesan, as well as the impresa of Nicolaus Berardinus Sanseverinus, Prince of Bisignano, and other important noble Italian families like Gonzaga and Borghese. The impresa was especially popular among the contemporary elite as it held a dual position in social circles. Impresa alluded to the personal intentions of the bearer while they were also applied more generally as emblematic device of heraldry and motto. The coats of arms and the motto of the character are the prelude to each biography. Each imprese ends in Camilli's original verse and a full iconographic analysis of the allegorical symbolism and historical significance embedded in each device. Praz, p. 296. Brunet I: 1514; Mortimer Italian 99.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. CAMILLI, Camillo. I cinque cantiaggiunti al Goffredo del signor Torquato Tasso. Ferrara, Appresso Giulio Cesare Cagnaccini, & Fratelli, 1585. 12mo, pp. 181 (=151) (1), b-f12 g4. Predominantly Italic letter, some Roman.

In modern quarter vellum, decorative paper over boards, gilt-tooled lettering on half olive green, half red morocco label to spine. A lovely booklet in good condition. First printed in 1584, this booklet is the second edition of Camillo Camilli s additional five cantos, or poems, to the Gerusalemme Liberata (Jerusalem Delivered, 1581) of Torquato Tasso (1544-95). Camilli (d. 1615) was a scholar from Siena who taught letters in the Republic of Ragusa (Dalmatia). He edited a reprint of Tasso s masterpiece in 1583 with the title of Goffredo, to which he added the present work in order to develop and conclude the love stories of the characters Armida and Rinaldo and Arminia and Tancredi. Camilli s prefatory letter addresses his dedicatee, Matteo Senarega, who held important political offices in the Republic of Genoa, becoming doge of this maritime power in 1591. Senarega studied law in Louvain and Latin in Venice, where the famous printer Paolo Manuzio was his tutor. Camilli mentions the efforts made by the then chancellor and saviour of the Republic in order to prevent further clashes of civil war between the old nobility (the Doria, Cicala, Spinola, Di Negro, Vivaldi, Cattaneo, Lomellini, Grimaldi families) and the new nobility, whose party had seized the power in the oligarchy. Camilli praises Senarega s diplomatic skills and tells the reader he learnt from Aldo Manuzio the Younger that the former doge retired to private life, after his successful political manoeuvres. Moreover, Manuzio told Camilli that Senarega enjoys the pleasure of reading poetry, which is the reason why the writer decided to dedicate this work of his to Senarega. Before the first canto begins, Camilli included some celebrative verses dedicated to the great poet Tasso, written by Francesco Melchiori from Oderzo. Adams C451; USTC 818083; EDIT16 41545.
