Da un disegno di Francesco Salviati affine per soggetto al ciclo con Storia di Camillo in Palazzo Vecchio a Firenze.

Vico, Reliqua librorum ad Imperatorum historiam ex antiquis nummis, Venice, 1601, later morocco for Stirling-Maxwell
Est: £1,000 - £1,500
Vico, Enea. Reliqua librorum Aeneae Vici Parmensis ad Imperatorum Historiam Ex antiquis nummis pertinentium. A Iacobo Franco calcographo Veneto in lucem edita. Venice: Giacomo Franco, 1601 The engraver Enea Vico (1523-1567) collected coins and produced one of the first manuals on the subject, maintaining that they had had a practical purpose as currency rather than being merely decorative. This work is a continuation of his Omnium Caesarum imagines, including portraits of emperors from Nerva to Lucius Verus. Giacomo Franco reprinted several of Vico's works around this time, though this is actually the first printing of this continuation of his earlier work. The last leaf of preliminaries contains a list of Vico's publications. 4to (198 x 137 mm). Engraved title-page, 3 letterpress leaves of preliminaries, 68 engraved plates: 72 leaves. Woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces. (Letterpress leaves cut somewhat close.) binding: Red crushed morocco (228 x 171 mm), with the arms of Stirling-Maxwell [British Armorial Bindings, stamps 44 and 48], spine with gilt lettering, gilt edges. Bound to a larger size to match a similar volume in Stirling-Maxwell's library.

Vico, Enea: Flora
Est: €3,000 - €3,500
zugeschrieben. Flora. Kupferstich. 41,5 x 28,8 cm. B. XV, S. 293, TIB (Vico) 23, Rubach 331 I (von IV), Marigliani V, 29 I. Wz. Tulpe im Schild mit sechszackigem Stern (vgl. Woodward 124, ab 1542). Bartsch schrieb dieses Blatt Enea Vico zu, der heute als Inventor der Vorlage gilt (Marigliani, S. 194). Es wurde zunächst bei Ferrando Bertelli herausgegeben, dessen verlegerische Tätigkeit um die Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts in Venedig belegt ist, und erneut von Lafreri in Rom herausgegeben. Die Adresse Bertellis wurde unvollständig getilgt und ist noch lesbar, wie es Lafreri bei Platten, die er von anderen Verlegern ankaufte, typischerweise handhabte (Rubach, S. 103 f.). Die anmutige weibliche Figur mit Blumenzweigen in den Händen, die in Lafreris Index als Statua della Dea Florida (Z. 244) bezeichnet ist, wird mit dem Dreizeiler links unten auch als Proserpina, beziehungsweise Persephone konnotiert. Die Tochter der Erdgöttin Ceres durfte nach ihrer Entführung durch den Gott der Unterwelt Pluto nur die Hälfte des Jahres über der Erde verbringen, wo sie - als mythologische Erklärung der Jahreszeiten - die Pflanzen sprießen ließ, bevor sie für die zweite Jahreshälfte unter die Erde zurückkehren musste, Ursache für das Abblühen aller Pflanzen in Herbst und Winter. Die Ikonographie von Vicos Invention ist von großer Subtilität. In beiden Händen hält die Flora filigran skizzierte Blütenzweige deren zarten Knospen Fruchtbarkeit und den ewigen Kreislauf der Natur symbolisieren.- Prachtvoller, harmonischer und toniger Frühdruck, vor den Adressen von Duchetti und Orlandi. Mit breitem Rand um die gratig druckende Plattenkante. Minimal stockfleckig und gebräunt entlang den Rändern, geringfügige Altersspuren, sonst vorzüglich frisches, unbehandeltes Exemplar. - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

Vico, Enea: Die Bestrafung der römischen Kurtisane
Est: €300 - €400
Die Bestrafung der römischen Kurtisane. Kupferstich nach Perino del Vaga. 18 x 27,6 cm. 1542. B. XV, S. 305, 46. Der Legende nach hatte Vergil versucht, sich eine römische Jungfrau mit einem Zauber gefügig zu machen. Diese versprach ihm, ihn in ihr Gemach zu lassen, wenn er sich in einem Korbe zu ihrem Fenster hochziehen lasse. Entgegen ihrer Versprechung ließ sie ihn aber einfach in luftiger Höhe hängen, sodass er am folgenden Tage zum Gespött Roms wurde. Daraufhin verfluchte Vergil alle Feuer der Stadt und verlangte, dass man die "Kurtisane" an einem Gerüst am Marktplatz festbinde. Er versprach, dass jeder, der ein Feuer haben wolle, dies nur zwischen den Schenkeln der Jungfrau holen könne. Darauf kamen die Römer und zündeten zu Vergils Genugtuung ihre Kerzen und Lampen zwischen den Beinen der Jungfrau an und brachten so Rom das Feuer wieder zurück. - Ganz ausgezeichneter, prägnanter Druck mit Spuren eines Rändchen um die Einfassungslinie an drei Seiten, unten teils mit der Plattenkante, alt aufgezogen, sonst sehr schön erhalten. Aus der Sammlung J. Burleigh James, 19. Jh. (Lugt 1425). - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
