About This Item
Milano Nelle Stampe dell'Agnelli Scultore, & Stampatore, 1680. FIRST AND ONLY ITALIAN TRANSLATION. 12mo, 133 x 74 mms., pp. [x], 251 [252 blank], including engraved title-page, half-title, 5 full-page engraved plates, contemporary vellum, light olive morocco label. A very good copy The French author and playwright Jean Puget de la Serre (1594 - 1665) was a prolific author, publishing over one hundred works in his life; Le Tombeau des delices du monde was first published in Brussels in 1630 and this appears to be the first and only Italian translation. There were numerous French reprints after the first edition of 1630. A satire, the work is more a sepulcher or tomb of the vanities of the world, rather than a bonfire, and the engraved title-page is presumably a representation of souls in hell. The five plates for the five senses are by Nicolaus vander Horst (1598 - 1546), but re-engraved here. See Veronique Meyer: "Un Auteur du XVIIe Siecle et Illustration de sesLivres: Jean Puget de la Serre (1595-1665" Bibliothèque de l'École des chartes (2000). The only copy that I have located is in the National Library of Italy, and it might be a digital one.
