About This Item
Ravenna: Longo Editore, 1977. Including Baretti's long lost theatical productions, Chisciotte in Venezia; La Filippa trionfant; intermezzo musicali; and his Fetonte sulle rive de Po, and La Voix de la Discorde, ou la Bataille des Violons.
8vo. 116 [2] pp. Original printed wrappers.
Most famous for his association with Samuel Johnson, his Italian/English dictionary, and his critical works published in La Frusta Letteraria, Joseph Baretti was an
Italian emigre forced to leave Italy for England because of his conflicts with authories in his home town of Turin. In addition to his work on language and literature Baretti wrote these plays, which were never published and found hidden away in the library of the City of Verona.
Baretii was a critic of Goldoni and wrote these theatrical works as a challenge to style and dramatic content of the Venetian dramatist. With the publication of these works, now appearing for the first time in 1977, it is apparent that his work did not match up to the dramatic power and use of language that Goldoni achieved in his numerous plays.

About De Simone Company, Booksellers
De Simone Company Booksellers specializes in early Italian books and manuscripts, mostly in the fields of social science, history, antiquarian bibliography and illustrated books. The owner, Daniel De Simone, has a particular interest in books, manuscripts, and ephemera printed in, or about, the history of Ferrara, Italy. The business also deals in 19th-century Americana and fine books in all fields and languages.
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.
