Cousins Damianus Pflug and Nikolaus von Ebeleben were German students who travelled throughout Europe in the 1540s and commissioned bindings in the various places they visited, their collections including examples from Paris and Bologna. See T. de Marinis, La legatura artistica, no. 1392 ter, for a 1547 Petrarch by Giolito (there not illustrated but described very similarly to our binding in Sotheby's sale catalogue of 1990), and also De Marinis n. 1390, illustr. at pl. CCXXXVI, for a very similar binding executed in Bologna for Nikolaus von Ebeleben in 1544, so the same year of our book. The British Museum has some bindings belonging to them.

Steg, minimal fingerfleckig, einige Seiten eselohrig «Die kommentierte Ausgabe des Canzoniere von Alessandro Vellutello ist die berühmteste und erfolgreichste des 16. Jahrhunderts. Sie ist 1525 zum ersten Mal erschienen. Die massgebliche Ausgabe ist aber die von Vellutello überarbeitete, die 1528 veröffentlicht wurde. Vielen Lesern war die Anordnung der Gedichte im Canzoniere nicht klar. In ihm sind die Gedichte über die Liebe zu Laura mit Gedichten anderen (politischen, kirchenkritischen) Inhalts vermischt. Vellutello hat den Canzoniere neu geordnet, so dass sich die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Petrarca und Laura - in vita (prima parteI) und in morte (seconda parte) - Schritt für Schritt verfolgen lässt. Die Gedichte, die mit diesen Ereignissen nicht in Verbindung stehen, hat er in einer Parte terza ,seines' Canzoniere zusammengestellt. Vellutello war davon überzeugt, dass es die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Petrarca und Laura wirklich gegeben hat. In der ausführlichen Einleitung stellte er dazu alle Informationen zusammen.» (Petrarca-Ausstellung, Strauhof, Zürich, 2004).Alessandro Vellutello (1473 - nach 1550), wirkte ab 1515 in Venedig. 1544 publizierte er seinen berühmten Kommentar zu Dantes «La Comedia». 1100 gr.
