Tammaro De Marinis (1878-1969)

Il Castello di Monselice 1941

DE MARINIS, Tammaro (1878-1969). Il Castello di Monselice. Raccolta degli antichi libri veneziani figurati. Verona: Hans (Giovanni) Mardersteig at the Officina Bodoni [for conte Vittorio Cini], 20 December 1941.



De Marinis’s own copy of his catalogue of early Venetian illustrated books, one of a limited edition of 310 copies. The catalogue is an important complement to Essling's Livres à figures vénitiens de la fin du XVe siècle et du commencement du XVIe (Paris 1907). ‘Within a few years of their having been acquired by Cini, he completed the catalogue of Prince d'Essling's Venetian illustrated books -- more than seven hundred of them, including sixty from other sources, which the new owner had housed in his Castle of Monselice in the Veneto ... There can be little doubt that De Marinis undertook this task because he had played a rôle in placing the collection’ (B.H. Breslauer, ‘Tammaro De Marinis Remembered’ in Ulrico Hoepli 1847-1935, 1997, p. 267). The collection is now in the Fondazione Cini on San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice.



Large quarto (316 x 238mm). Handmade wove paper by the brothers Magnani of Pescia. 92 plates (some double-pages, a few in colour). Red half morocco, top edges gilt, others uncut; matching slipcase. Provenance: the author’s copy, with presentation inscription to him by the collector, Vittorio Cini: ‘A Tammaro de Marinis la prima copia di quest' opera da lui inspirata e realizzata: Con viva gratitudine e amicizia. Vittorio Cini, Venezia 18 Gennaio 1942.’ – [Count Andrea Bocca; notes identified as in his hand loosely inserted] –Bernard Breslauer (sale Christie’s, Bibliotheca Bibliographica Breslaueriana, 27-28 June 2005, lot 1515).
