About This Item
Very good copy of this landmark book in the history of Italian book illustration and printing is illustrated by some the most important artists of the period. Including a monumental design of the "Creation of Adam" and a smaller design of the "Expulsion of Satan from Eden" by G. B. Piazzetta; an allegorical design in his recognizable classical style by Antonio Balestra; a half-page design by Antonio Mella Vera of the coat-of-arms of Antonio Andrea Gazola, to whom the volume is dedicated; and two half-page designs by G. P. Tiepolo, one a "Dance of Death" and the other, a stylized portrait of a young women and her dog. There is also a lovely design of "St. Michael Leading Adam from the Garden" by Nicola Bilii, and others by G. B. Zignaroli, Vittorio Bigeri and two designs by Picart and one by Chasteau, which gives the volume an international flair. All of which were engraved by Francesco Zucchi, the prolific Venetian engraver whose work appears in scores of 18th century illustrated books.

About De Simone Company, Booksellers
De Simone Company Booksellers enjoyed its second opening as a book company in 2018 after a seventeen-year hiatus. Originally established in 1978, De Simone Company bought, sold, and evaluated rare books, manuscripts, and prints for twenty-two years before closing, when De Simone accepted the position as Curator of the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection at the Library of Congress.
De Simone held this position for fourteen years before moving to the Folger Shakespeare Library as the Eric Weinmann Librarian. In this position, he managed seven departments, including acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation, research services, and the Library's book, manuscript, and art collections. He held this position for three years before retiring in 2017 and reopening De Simone Company Booksellers.
Because of his experience in both the book trade and rare book librarianship, De Simone consults with institutions about the development and evaluation of their library collections. He is the author and editor of a number of books and articles on the history of book illustration and early bibliography.
He is a member of the ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America), the ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), the Print Council of America, the Grolier Club, the Association Internationale de Bibliophilie, the American Printing History Association, the Bibliographical Society of America. He is also the Treasurer of the Antiquarian Book Seminar Foundation, a 501c3, which support the Colorado Antiquarian Books Seminar (CABS). Recently he has been appointed Secretary of Breslauer Prize for Bibliography by the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.
