Dall'Orto Evangelista - Concetti di Hieronimo Garimberto - 1596

Concepts of Hieronimo Garimberto, and other worthy authors, Collected by him to write, & to discuss familiarly; with a new addition to his places [by Giovanni Pomio Bellunense]; Newly revised, and corrected [by Evangelista dall'Orto]. - In Venice: at Bartholomeo Carampello's, in Venetia. GARIMBERTO (Garimberti), Girolamo, Born in Parma to a noble family. He worked closely with the Roman papal court. He became palatine count and canon of St. Peter’s Basilica. He served as vicar of the Basilica of St. John Lateran. He was named bishop of Gallese in 1562. He died in Rome in 1575 and is buried in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. The Garimberti lineage had emerged through the holding of important public offices during the 14th century, when the “people” governed the commune of Parma; the Garimberto family had already acquired noble titles in the 15th century by joining the faction of the powerful aristocratic Rossi family and in the so-called aggregation of the Guelfs. Garimberto was directed to humanistic studies; moving to Rome, while still attempting a career at the Pontifical Court, in 1527 he accompanied Clement VII on the journey to Orvieto, during his flight from Rome, devastated by the sack. During the pontificate of Paul III, with a prominent role, he was entrusted as collaborator by Cardinal and nephew Alessandro Farnese. In 1538 in Provence with the Pontifical delegation they attempted the mission to establish peace between Charles V and Francis I. The Farnese years of pontificate also coincided with the start of an intense cultural activity: Garimberti established contacts through writings with Claudio Tolomei, with the philosopher Antonio Bernardi and also entered correspondence with Bernardo Tasso and Pietro Aretino. In the following years he carried out a historic literary production of note. Binding: Contemporary, in full stiff parchment, on the spine a hand-decorated and punched label bearing the title of the work with the writer’s surname. Author: Dall'Orto, Evangelista, with the Works in the Concepts of Garimberti, Girolamo Publisher: Appresso Bartholomeo Carampello in Venetia Language: Italian - [8], N 255 / 510 [2], c.; 8° - Plates numbered on a single side [2] - Dimensions: (15 x 10 x 4.5) cm Physical notes: In the special printer’s mark, joined to religious and allegorical figures, the particular inscription "PATIENCE" is legible, The Table of All Concepts" in this historical presentation refers to a complete index, alphabetically arranged with the treated topics and numerically summarized; in the text, historical references are abbreviated with marginal literary notes on the plates. This original setting was produced with miniaturized engravings that make the work distinctive also aesthetically, in the decoration, in the thoughts collected and illustrated, in its presentation to readers. Symbolically, as an ancient text, it is unique and rare in this historical realization, from the prints for the Concepts written in the Chapters and their contents. For one of the initial letters, with the Dedication indicating the start of the first Chapter, the printer engraved the Hydra of Lerna (in Greek Ύδρα, Hýdra). (Necessary images included here for attentive readers contain details of the ancient text to complete the presentation).
