About This Item
Venice: Gabriel Giolito de Ferrari; Francesco Marcolini, 1550-1551. First editions. Very Good. Two volumes bound in one. 12mo (14 cm); 70, [2] leaves, last blank; 112, [7] leaves, (lacking blank K/12?). Giolito devices on first title page and on verso of F/12; Marcolini devices on tp of second title and on verso of K/11. Woodcut initials in first title. Italic and Roman type. In vellum over boards, titled in manuscript on spine, "Doni Libreria T. I. II."
References: Bongi I, 287 ("queste due operette del Doni ... tengono luogo assai importante nella biblioteca italiana"); Adams D-817 and D-822; BM Italian, 225-226.
Doni's idea was to catalogue all the Italian-language authors published to date and record his impressions of them. These efforts broke fresh ground in several camps: book collecting, bibliography, and reader criticism. Bongi wrote, "Everyone knows these two books are the first Italian studies in bibliography, and, as always, the author displays his ingenuity and his bizarre sense of humor, recording there unusual comments and singular judgments."

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
