[Padova] Patavij, ex typographia Pauli Frambotti, 1637, Seconda padovana. Bell’esemplare a grandi margini. Importante edizione secentesca della celebre enciclopedia mitografica di Natale Conti, tra i testi più influenti dell’umanesimo europeo nella trasmissione e interpretazione del patrimonio mitologico classico. Le Mythologiae, pubblicate per la prima volta nel 1568, raccolgono e commentano il repertorio delle favole antiche secondo una prospettiva insieme morale, filosofica, naturalistica e allegorica, leggendo i miti come contenitori di sapienza etica e dottrina cosmologica. Diversamente da altri mitografi rinascimentali, Conti privilegia infatti l’esegesi simbolica dei racconti, trasformando l’opera in una sorta di manuale morale fondato sull’antichità pagana reinterpretata in senso cristiano. L’edizione padovana del 1637 si distingue per il ricco apparato erudito: indici analitici, note di commentatori, materiali aggiuntivi di argomento mitografico e retorico, compendi ovidiani e trattati complementari. Per vastità di repertorio e fortuna europea, le Mythologiae costituirono per oltre un secolo uno strumento imprescindibile per eruditi, letterati e artisti, influenzando profondamente la cultura simbolica barocca e fornendo, tra l’altro, una delle principali fonti alla successiva Iconologia di Cesare Ripa.
