Giovanbattista Gilardi Cinthio - Le fiamme di Giovanbattista Gilardi Cinthio nobile ferrarese. Diviso in due parti. - 1548

Legatura in piena pelle marrone con labbri decorati in oro. 5 nervi, fregi in oro e titolo dorato in casella rossa al dorso. Tagli a spruzzo rossi. 1 carta bianca, 87, [5] carte non numerate, 1 carta bianca Rara prima edizione di questo poema amoroso di G.B. Giraldi Cinzio (1504-1573). Pur pubblicate da un editore abile e prestigioso come Gabriel Giolito de’ Ferrari, le Fiamme del Giraldi sembrano invero restare un fatto letterario isolato e tutto ferrarese: non solo non pare esservi traccia di circolazione manoscritta né prima né dopo la stampa, ma la poesia del Giraldi non entra quasi del tutto nelle antologie liriche che si moltiplicano dopo il 1545. Esemplare all'interno in buone condizioni. Qualche macchia e una piccola gora sbiadita al margine inferiore che non tocca il testo dalla p. 7 alla p. 17. Ex lirbris alla prima sguardia, marca tipografica giolitiana al frontespizio e bel capolettera abitato xilografato all'inizio della parte prima. Fruibile e completo.

Rare first edition of this love poem by G.B. Giraldi Cinzio (1504-1573). Although published by a skilled and prestigious publisher like Gabriel Giolito de’ Ferrari, Giraldi's Fiamme seems to remain an isolated literary fact, entirely from Ferrara: not only does it appear that there is no trace of manuscript circulation either before or after the printing, but Giraldi's poetry hardly appears at all in the lyrical anthologies that proliferate after 1545.

Copy in good condition internally. Some stains and a small faded mark on the lower margin that does not touch the text from p. 7 to p. 17. Ex libris on the first endpaper, Giolitian typographic mark on the title page, and a beautiful inhabited woodcut initial at the beginning of part one. Usable and complete.
