Venetia, Lorenzini da Turino, 1560
En 8vo. Tercera parte. b11+ 348 hojas. Encuadernación en piel color café marmolería. Lomo dañado en parte superior, decoraciones en dorado en lomera. Primera y última hojas restauradas. Tachadura con tinta en a1 y algunas anotaciones en a2.
Este ejemplar es la traducción italiana de Agostino di Cravalis, publicado por primera vez con el título de "Historia di don Ferdinando Cortes, marchese della Valle, capitano valorosissimo. Con le sue marauigliose prodezze nel tempo, che discoprì, & acquistò la nuoua Spagna" Lorenzini de Turín. Es el primero que, en esta edición de 1560, añade la obra de Gómara y presenta la división de la obra en tres partes ("prima parte" la Crónica de Cieza, "seconda parte" y "terza parte" las de Gómara del que aporta la Historia general de las Indias y la Vida de Hernán Cortés)
A mediados del s. XVI aparecen en Italia las primeras traducciones al italiano de dos crónicas de Indias pertenecientes, la una a Francisco López de Gómara –Historia de las Indias y conquista de México (1552), y la otra a Pedro de Cieza de León –Primera Parte de la Crónica del Perú (1553).
Tanto la crónica de Gómara como la de Cieza fueron editadas en Italia a partir de 1555 hasta 1576, con una última edición en 1599 de la obra de Gómara. La primera traducción apareció en Roma, pero todas las otras en Venecia, que por aquel entonces desempeñaba un rol de primera importancia en la tradición editorial a nivel europeo. El primer traductor fue el español Agustín de Cravaliz.
La diferentes ediciones, supuestamente, re-ediciones de la primera traducción, parecen con cambios hechos por los correctores o los mismos impresores.
Las traducciones al italiano de las dos obras tienen casi la misma historia, dado que se utilizó la obra de Francisco López de Gómara para integrar una historia completa del Perú que abarcase, también el descubrimiento y la conquista y las guerras civiles entre los españoles.

Description:
Cedula in six leaves, printed on both sides with seal of the King in the last page. Quarto (11" x 8 1/4") housed in hand crafted enclosure by Octavye. First edition.Content of the Cedula. The King attempts to make the Spanish the unique and universal language in his domains: "The Indians be instructed in the dogmas of our religion in Spanish, and they are taught to read and write in this language, which must be extended and made unique, and universal in the same domains, as it is that of the Monarchs and Conquerors, to facilitate the administration, spiritual passage to the Naturals, and that these can be understood by the superiors ..."
The Cedula emphasizes the reluctance of the indigenous people to use Spanish and their inclination to maintain their own language, so they do not send their children to schools and go to the extreme of resisting speaking Spanish even though they know it. This attitude shows, according to the king, "something of malice" born in the desire of the natives to hide their… Read More

Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità.

LUGDUNI: APUD SEB. GRYPHIUM, 1548. In 16. Dim. 17x11 cm. Pp. 402+(14). Edizione del 1548 di questa nota opera letteraria scritta da Adriano Castellesi (ca 1485-1521) nato a Corneto (antico nome di Tarquinia) detto anche Adriano da Corneto. Castellesi fu grechista, ebraista, autore di poemetti, opere di stile, grammatiche e filosofico-teologiche. Espertissimo di affari, si arricchì enormemente destando in tal modo l'invidia di Cesare Borgia che tentò di avvelenarlo. Andato in esilio e ritornato in patria all'avvento di Leone X, dovette ritornarvi perchè accusato di aver preso parte alla congiura del Cardinale Petrucci. Da questo momento in poi non si sa più nulla di lui: sembra che sia stato assassinato a scopo di furto da uno dei suoi servitori. Il volume è un'opera didattica latina che riporta termini utilizzati in sentenze classiche latine. Alla fine risulta molto interessante il poema sulla caccia organizzata dal Cardinale Ascanio Sforza nei pressi…
