Through the eyes of an unnamed narrator, readers witness the trials and tribulations of Columbus and his crew as they embark on a perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean, seeking a new route to the East Indies. The book delves into the motivations, challenges, and consequences of this groundbreaking expedition, shedding light on the complexities of exploration, cultural encounters, and the pursuit of knowledge in the age of discovery. By weaving together historical accounts with vivid descriptions and insights into the human spirit, the author invites readers to reflect on the transformative power of curiosity, the limits of human knowledge, and the enduring legacy of those who dare to venture into the unknown.

Condition: Buono (Good). 0. In-4° (mm 237x172), pagine XIV, [2], 236 (le pagine 2-32 con numerazione romana). Graziosa vignetta al frontespizio e 10 tavole a piena pagina, numerate I-X, inc. in rame da Pietro Sardi da soggetti di Domenico Pasquali. Legatura in cartonato coevo, dorso (rifatto) in pelle moderna. Lievi gore marginali alle ultime carte. Restauro nel margine bianco del frontespizio ma buon esemplare. Pubblicato precedentemente dal Pitteri due anni prima, nel formato in-8°, questo poema epico celebrativo su Colombo oltre che per l'accuratezza biografica, è di particolar rilievo per la licenza poetica e la romanticizzazione delle figure centrali. L'interesse del libro è piuttosto nella rappresentazione pittorica del Nuovo Mondo e dei suoi abitanti, ancora praticamernte sconosciuto alla maggior parte degli europei. Tra i libri veneziani illustrati del Settecento, l'opera del Querini può essere considerata veramente unica in virtù del tema esotico e delle sue rappresentazioni iconografiche. Melzi II, 287. Morazzoni, 246. Fumagalli, Bibl. Colombo, 422. Book.

In Venezia, Appresso Francesco Pitteri, [1759] MDCCLIX, Edizione originale. Ottimo esemplare; brunite e fiorite le guardie; poche carte brunite passim. Prima edizione di questo poema eroico-morale in ottave, composto da Alvise Querini (1699-? [ma post 1764]), arcadico con il nome di Ormildo Emeressio e cruscante dal 1764; non vi si ravviserà, come invece è stato detto, l'omonimo ambasciatore in Francia del resto, nato nel 1758. La preziosa princeps presenta un apparato illustrativo di particolare rilievo, con dieci tavole fuori testo numerate IX, incise su rame da Pietro Sardi su invenzione di Domenico Pasquali, stampate al verso della carta che precede l'apertura di ciascuno dei dieci canti, secondo un'elegante disposizione "a specchio". Il fortunato apparato sarà, quindi, ereditato dalla seconda edizione del 1761, sempre veneziana. Bel frontespizio con marca tipografica di Francesco Pitteri; lettrine ornata ad aprire la dedica dell'autore al fratello, di tono insieme privato, encomiastico e teorico-letterario preziose e coltissime le annotazioni sul genere dell'epopea. Il poema innesta la celebrazione dell'"Ammiraglio delle Indie", Cristoforo Colombo, in una cornice classicizzante e arcadica, secondo i moduli dell'epica morale veneziana di pieno Settecento, e testimonia la persistente vitalità del poema in ottava come forma di mediazione tra tradizione epica, istanze encomiastiche e gusto accademico.

Vignetta calcografica al titolo con angelo intento a suonare una tromba celeste. Le pp. in nn. romani contengono una lettera dell'autore al di lui fratello; seguono approvazione ed errata. 10 tavv. incise su rame f.t. da Pietro Sardi da invenzione di Domenico Pasquali, a fronte della prima pagina di ciascun canto proemiale. Sparsi aloni e fioriture di lieve entità. Bell'esemplare. Prima edizione di questo poema in 10 canti in ottave sulla scoperta dell'America e le navigazioni di Colombo, pubblicato da Alvise Querini con il suo nome in Arcadia e nato con le ambiziose intenzioni di ricalcare, su tale tema, la grande poesia ariostea e tassiana. Il Querini fu letterato ed ambasciatore della Serenissima a Parigi. Egli fu il primo della sua casata ad aggiungere al proprio cognome anche la denominazione Stampalia per distinguersi da un omonimo alla corte napoleonica di Milano. La presente è la sua opera più significativa dal punto di vista letterario. Melzi, II, 287. Morazzoni, p. 246 (senza conoscere il vero nome dell'autore). Lanckoronska, 175. Sabin, 22416.

4to. 1 page on bifolium. With autograph address. To M. Regny, banker of the Republic of Genoa, sending wishes for good health and regretting his being unable to see the recipient until the doctor permits it, hoping nevertheless for a moment to meet: "Je reçu avec bien de la peine la nouvelle de votre maladie. J'espère qu'elle aura une issue heureuse et prompte. Je suis très fâché de ne pouvoir pas vous voir, et plus encore de vous entendre disposé a partir si tôt que le Médecin vous le permettra [.]". - Added is a copied mémoire entitled "Copie du Mémoire de M. Regny au M.re des affaires Etrangères" (8 April 1819), sent to minister Jean-Joseph Dessolles (1767-1828), concerning three bills of exchange over a sum of 90,000 francs, drawn on Querini in 1797 during his time as ambassador in Paris. It is stated that Querini testifies to have acted according to the orders of his government, and as meanwhile he became subject to the Emperor of Austria, the claims on the bills devolved to the Austrian Empire. Armand du Plessis, 5th Duke of Richelieu and Fronsac (1766-1822), is stated already to have recognized the legal rights of this claim of a sum total of 208,000 fl. (including interest), and passed the matter on to the French ambassador in Vienna, Victor de Riquet, Duke of Caraman (1762-1839). Further persons mentioned to have been involved in the matter are François Dewinck, the Venetian count Wiscowich, and Joseph de Salomon, bishop of Ortosia. - With slight brownstainings.
