STUNNING Bolzani (1477–1558) Folio comp@$8,000

Pierio Valeriano Bolzani (1477–1558), born Giampietro Valeriano Bolzani, was an Italian Renaissance humanist, favored by the Medici.

Among his books, De Infelicitate Literatorum and Hieroglyphica sive de sacris Aegyptiorum litteris commentarii are notable. De Infelicitate Literatorum is a treatise on the misfortunes of learned men, containing a number of anecodotes of misfortunes and poverty attending them, though some of the stories are of dubious authenticity. His Hieroglyphica, written during a frenzy of popularity surrounding the rediscovered Hieroglyphica of Horapollo, was a nearly thousand-page folio that constituted the first Renaissance dictionary of symbols, which would become a popular genre. It was published in Basel in 1556, reprinted seven times through 1678, and translated into French in 1576.

We do not find any other examples of this same edition for sale anywhere else worldwide; however, we do find only two other 16th-century printings for sale elsewhere. Compare at over $8,000!Main author: Pierio Valeriano; Celio Augustino Curione
