About This Item

Zürich: Belser, 1985 3 volumes 12mo (19.5 cm), 20 ff of facsimile in blue morocco binding, front board gilt; 28, [4] pp; 68, [4] pp in publisher's cloth, housed in slip-case (slipcase rubbed and slightly dusted). A facsimile of Felice Feliciano's alphabet from the Vatican Library, accompanied by commentary and insights into facsimile production. Limited to 200 copies, this is number 49. Felice Feliciano (1433-1479) stands as a fascinating yet often overlooked Renaissance figure: a calligrapher, antiquarian (with expertise in Roman antiquities and a collector of inscriptions), author of alchemical poetry, and ultimately, a printer. In 1460, his keen interest in epigraphy led him to graphically reconstruct the Alphabetum Romanum on paper, now preserved in manuscript Vat. lat. 6852. In this work, the author meticulously depicts the entire Latin alphabet, with letters measuring 8 cm in height and rendered in two colors. Additionally, the work features a series of recipes for preparing inks in various colors.
