CATULLUS, C. Valerius (c. 84-54 BCE)

Carmina. - Albius TIBULLUS (c. 55/48-c. 19 BCE). Elegiae et vita. - Sextus PROPERTIUS (c. 54/57-after 16 BCE). Elegiae et vita. - Publius Papinus STATIUS (c. 45-96 CE). Sylvae. [Milan: Philippus de Lavagnia] for Johannes de Colonia and Johannes Manthen, 1475.

Second edition of a collection of the greatest Latin elegiac poets, with a gift inscription dated just 3 years after publication, recording its gift by Pietro da Montagnana to the monastery of the Regular Lateran Canons at Padua. Pietro, a teacher of grammar at Padua, had already given the monastery a substantial collection of (manuscript) books in both Greek and Latin in 1457, and continued to make gifts to the end of his life; his gift of the present volume was made the year he died. Cf. R.W. Hunt, 'Pietro da Montagnana: a donor of books to San Giovanni di Verdara in Padua', Bodleian Library Record, IX, 1973, pp.17-22. The present edition reprints that of Vindelinus de Spira (1472) and is the third edition of Tibullus, Catullus and Propertius, and second edition of Statius. Filippo de Lavagnia was the second printer at Milan, and he printed this edition for the entrepreneurial Venetian printers Johannes de Colonia and Johannes Manthen. The individual texts are found in varying order in different copies, and occasionally singly. The contemporary illumination and gift inscription at the end of this copy verify that it retains its original order. For Squarciafico's Lives of the poets, see J. Allenspach and G. Frasso in Italia medioevale e umanistica, 23, 1980, 233ff, esp. p.247. HC 4759; BMC VI, 702; GW 6387; IGI 2614; BSB-Ink C-197; Bod-inc. C-139; Goff C-322 and S-699 ISTC ic00322000.



Royal half-sheet quarto (267 x 183mm). 188 leaves. Printed guide-letters, quire signatures stamped at extreme lower outer corner (often cropped). Contemporary Italian illumination: opening 5-line initial in gold with white-vine decoration on blue, green and red ground, remaining 2- to 4-line initials alternating in red and blue (outer bifolia of quires reinforced, first leaf on guard with discreet repair at fore-edge, very occasional light stain, quiring often trimmed). Modern tan pigskin, spine bands outlined in blind terminating on sides, spine lettered in gilt, earlier lettering-piece mounted on front pastedown, earlier speckled edges quire guards; linen slipcase. Provenance: Padua, Congregation of Regular Lateran Canons of S. Giovanni di Verdara, inscription dated 1478 recording the book as a gift of Pietro da Montagnana (d. 1478) – a few annotations in Statius, not in the hand of Montagnana – C.S. Ascherson (bookplate) – George Abrams (booklabel, sale Sotheby's, 16-17 November 1989, lot 32) – [sold Christie’s, 29 Nov. 2000, lot 33].
