OFFICINA BODONI.

Il Castello di Monselice. Raccolta degli Antichi Libri Veneziani Figurati.

Described by Tammaro De Marinis. Frontis., text illus., & 93 splendid photogravure plates (many double-page, several in red & black, & one in color facsimile). xiv, 406 pp. Large 4to, orig. half-vellum & marbled boards (one corner a little bruised, a bit of foxing which is always the case with this book), t.e.g., others uncut, spine gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. Verona: dai Torchi della Officina Bodoni, [1941]. Only 310 copies, superbly hand-printed by Giovanni Mardersteig on heavy handmade paper, were issued for private circulation. This monumental catalogue is very little known, as it was published during the war and was only distributed to personal friends of Conte Vittorio Cini (1885- ), the owner of Monselice. Most of the volumes in this unique collection of Venetian 15th and 16th century illustrated books were formerly in the library of Prince d'Essling, but in many cases Dr. De Marinis has been able to supply much additional information concerning them which has come to light since the publication of Prince d'Essling's Les Livres à Figures Vénitiens... (1907). A handsome and rare private library catalogue, containing valuable and detailed descriptions. Fine copy. Schmoller 53.
