Lot 109 | MARINEO Siculo Lucio (1445-1533)
MARINEO Siculo Lucio (1445-1533)

Pandit Aragoniae. Saragossa: Jorge Coci, 1509.

First separate edition of Marineo’s beautifully printed and important history of the Kings of Aragon, commissioned for King Ferdinand. Marineo, a humanist from Sicily, became professor at Salamanca before joining Ferdinand's court as royal historiographer. His  genealogy of the Aragonese monarchs was rapidly translated into Spanish as the ‘Cronica d’Aragón’. His impact on the Spanish Renaissance was profound in bringing to Spain the ideas of the Italian Humanists and his work remains one of the chief sources for the history of the period. The printer Coci (or Koch) is one of Spain’s great early printers. He began printing (with 2 other German printers) in 1499 and inherited materials from the press of Pablo and Juan Hurus, adapting their device for his own use. ‘Coci printed one .. contemporary Latin work of some importance. This was a history of Aragon written by Lucius Marineus at the behest of the Eight Deputies of Aragon for presentation to King Ferdinand. It appeared in 1509, and it is on record that for their respective shares in the work Marineus received one thousand solidi, Jaca money, and Coci five hundred.’ F. J. Norton, Printing in Spain 1501-1520. BM STC Sp. C16th p.127; Norton 628; Lyell, Early book illustration in Spain, figure 93; Adams M-593; Brunet III, 1432; Palau VIII 152144.
