Serie de' testi di lingua 1805

GAMBA, Bartolommeo (1766-1841). Serie de' testi di lingua. Bassano: Tipografia Remondiniana, 1805.



First edition of the classic bibliography of Italian literature, whose fourth edition of 1839 retains its currency as a general reference work today. It treats the authors cited by the Vocabolario della Crusca, with a supplement of other writers important for the study of Italian. Apart from being a tireless printer, bibliographer and autograph collector, Gamba also owned a bookshop. Thus, his bibliographical notes on the different editions of Italian literature also include values and degrees of rarity. This is a fine copy in what appears to be an Austrian binding.



Octavo (201 x 122mm). Crusca woodcut device on title and at the end (faint spotting on title). Contemporary straight-grained red morocco gilt, border on sides, flat spine decorated in compartments, tooled turn-ins, gilt edges, marbled endpapers (faint spotting on upper cover, very minor repairs at spine ends). Provenance: Pietro Accordi, Milanese man of letters (presentation inscription from Tito Vanzetti, perhaps the son of the dedicatee of this edition, Lorenzo Vanzetti) – Bernard Breslauer (sale Christie’s, Bibliotheca Bibliographica Breslaueriana, 21 March 2005, lot 76).
