Item Details

Description

ALUNNO, Francesco
Della fabrica del mondo libri X. Ne' quali si contengono le voci di Dante, del Petrarca, del Boccaccio, del Bembo... & d'altri buoni autori...
Venezia: Nella Stamperia al segno della Luna, 1575
Folio: 8 by 11" (275x200mm).
Printer's device on the title page, woodcut initials
Some marginal faded dampstains, some toning, some pages slightly trimmed, restoration on the outer margin of the title page without loss of text).
Half leather binding from the 19th century with gilt title on spine labels
Text in Italian

Francesco Alunno (or De Bailo, 1485-1556) was an Italian grammarian and writer of Ferrara. While working as a teacher of arithmetic and calligraphy in Udine and then in Venice, Alunno composed and published a series of impressive lexicographic works, culminating in his “La fabbrica del mondo” a comprehensive vocabulary of Petrarch, Dante, Boccaccio and other Italian writers. “Le osservationi sopra il Petrarca”, first published in 1539, is Alunno’s first work. A vast glossary of Petrarchan words in alphabetical order, ‘Le osservationi’ provides definitions for each word or difficult expression, a quotation from Petrarch showing its use in context, advice on when to use different spellings, and page reference numbers to the printed edition of Petrarch’s works published by Gherardo the same year. This second edition was considerably enriched with more entries and corrected in many places by the author. Also added are a few of letters attesting to Alunno’s relations with Venetian writers and printers (e.g. Girolamo Ruscelli), as well as an entertaining fictitious epistolary exchange between Petrarch and the author, with Petrarch’s letter at the beginning and Alunno’s response at the end of the work.
