Drexel on the front paste-down; from the library of Jacques Levy, his sale, Sotheby's, 20th April 2012, lot 10 Limited issue, number 35 of 40 copies printed entirely on papier de Chine. 'Orlando Furioso' was the last of the great folios illustrated by Dore for Hachette. Dore drew his illustrations on paper and not directly on the wood blocks and so giving the artist more freedom in his creations than previously. Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso" is one of the great masterpieces of Italian Renaissance literature. First published in Ferrara 1516, in 40 cantos, and in its complete form of 46 cantos in 1532. "Orlando Furioso" (or "Mad Orlando") is a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's unfinished romance "Orlando Innamorato" ("Orlando in Love", published posthumously in 1495). Orlando himself is very loosely based on Roland (of "The Song of Roland", the oldest surviving major work of French literature), a heroic knight in Charlemagne's court, intermingled with Arthurian and other influences. Orlando is driven "Furioso" or mad with love for the beautiful Angelica, and must be restored to sanity in time to save Paris from the Moslem hordes. There are fantastical elements, numerous subplots, twists and turns, and a myriad of minor characters. Carteret III: 37; Ray French 254. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.
