Testatina alla dedica, iniziali e finalini in xilografia, diagrammi nel testo. Legatura coeva in pergamena, titolo oro al dorso. Prima edizione tradotta e commentata dal Galiani; pregiatissima edizione di Vitruvio, si distingue per gli ampi commentari che riassumono e sviluppano tutta la ricerca filologica precedente, per la nuova traduzione, esemplata su due codici latini segnalati da Mons.

Condition: Buono (Good). Folio (400x255 mm). [8], XXXII, 462, [2] pp. and XXV engraved folding plates by Francesco Cepparulli after Bernardo Galiani (each plate is accompanied by a printed explanatory text). Etched frontispiece designed by Galiani and realized by Francesco La Marra, engraved vignette on title page showing an allegory of architecture, large engraved headpiece on top of the dedication with the portrait of the king in a medallion, several engraved historiated initials, as well as large woodcut tailpieces by Ignazio Lucchesini. The Latin text has a facing Italian translation, with the commentary in Italian printed below. Contemporary stiff vellum, lettering piece on spine (slightly worn and rubbed). Occasionally slightly browned, some marginal foxing, but a good, wide-margined copy.First edition of Vitruvius's classic treatise on architecture edited, translated, and commented upon by Bernardo Galiani.?The Neapolitan edition by Berardo Galiani is associated with the highest cultural achievements in Naples under the reign of Charles III, king of the Two Sicilies. The edition was received favorably in Italian intellectual circles and was reissued six times (Naples 1790, Siena 1790, Milan 1823,1832, and 1844, Venice 1854). The antiquarian Galiani, the brother of the better-known diplomat Ferdinando Galiani, had been educated by the distinguished Giambattista Vico. Galiani published is lavish bilingual (Italian-Latin) folio edition of Vitruvius' treatise, embellished with twenty-five engraved figures, first in Naples in 1758. He also collected materials and prepared extensive notes and drafts for a separate study of architecture that, however, remained incomplete. According to Ebhardt, Galiani had access to the best manuscripts of Vitruvius at the Vatican and to the Latin editio princeps. The illustrations of Galiani's Vitruvius benefited from parallel publication enterprises in Naples that were contemporary with his. A sizable school of draftsmen and engravers was being trained to illustrate the books published by the Accademia Ercolanese and the immense folio documenting Luigi Vanvitelli's design for the royal palace at Caserta. The frontispiece of Galiani's edition of Vitruvius is a dramatic diagonal composition in which a young student is shown by his military preceptress the allegorical figures of Sculpture - who has just finished carving the coat of arms of the king - and Painting crouched at the knees of a pregnant Architecture, who is holding a plan of an elaborate vestibule while standing in front of a porticoed building with an open door. We are being invited to enter this paper world of architecture. The entire book has been carefully designed? (The Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection, Volume IV: Italian and Spanish Books, Fifteenth through Nineteenth Centuries, Washington DC-New York, 2000, pp. 501-502, no. 162).Galiani was also the first to produce a bibliography of previous printed editions of Vitruvius and have compared them.Italian Union Catalogue, IT\ICCU\VIAE\000365; Fowler, 424; Cicognara, 733; Berlin Katalog, 1820; Comolli, III, pp. 54-55; Riccardi, II, 618.

Folio, with engraved frontispiece and 25 plates, woodcut diagrams and vignettes throughout; contemporary vellum. Splendid edition of Vitruvius, published in large format with 25 detailed plates specially prepared for this edition. This is the best textual edition of Vitruvius, translated and edited by Berardo Galiani, the humanist scholar who reinterpreted the classical architectural canon for eighteenth-century sensibilities. A second edition of this version appeared later the same year in Siena. The Latin text has a facing Italian translation, with the Italian commentary printed below. Vitruvius is the only classical architectural treatise to have survived into the modern era. All printed editions derive from four manuscript copies of which just three are now extant (the manuscript held by the Abbey of Montecassino was destroyed during the Second World War). Some textual differences exist between the known manuscripts; here Galiani's edition is remarkable for his careful collation and translation in order to provide the most accurate text possible. Furthermore, he was the first to produce a bibliography of previous printed editions of Vitruvius, with each entry accompanied by an informative commentary. Vitruvius, while eminently practical in many respects, was deeply concerned with the ritual and mystical magic associated with construction, building and the Roman home itself. The siting of structures was of great importance within the Roman metaphysical canon, additionally his work contains much detail on auguries associated with building, relationships between good fortune and architectural design, and similar themes. The magical and metaphysical aspects of the treatise held great influence on the Renaissance imagination, and the book came to be venerated far beyond its actual intellectual content. . Light browning of a few gatherings, some plates thumbed at margins but a handsome copy. Seller Inventory # 4211251
