TACITUS, PUBLIUS CORNELIUS. Le historie auguste di Cornelio Tacito, novellamente fatte italiane. Venice: Vincenzo Valgrisi, 1544

TACITUS, PUBLIUS CORNELIUS. Le historie auguste di Cornelio Tacito, novellamente fatte italiane. Venice: Vincenzo Valgrisi, 1544 FIRST EDITION of this Italian translation, IN A STRIKING CONTEMPORARY VENETIAN "GRID" BINDING in the style of the Mendoza binder. These grid patterns are perhaps best known from the library of Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (1503-1575), Spanish Ambassador to Venice from 1539 to 1546. Hobson identifies fifteen of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza's books decorated with a vertical grid of gilt fillets, however these feature a central plaquette or cameo (see, for example, Fig. 43 in Renaissance Book Collecting: Jean Grolier and Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, Their Books and Bindings, 2012, p. 97). A similar vertical grid to the present copy is found on De Marinis II, no. 2286 (plate CCCXCIX), though the title is lettered on the upper cover. A further example, with a lettering cartouche, was formerly in the Schäfer collection (Von Arnim 29; Sotheby’s, 8 December 1994, lot 14). De Marinis II, no. 1813 bis (C38 bis) has a similar pattern, but the gilt fillets are positioned diagonally. Similarly, no. 1712 (plate CCCXXV) has a diagonal grid pattern, but this also features a central cameo.

Lyon: Antoine Gryphe, 1576). Bound with: Marcus Vertranius Maurus, Ad P. Cornelii Taciti Annalium et historiarum libros. M. Vertranii Mauri Iurisc. Notae. Lyon: Antoine Gryphe, 1569 A reprint of Lipsius’ annotated edition of Tactitus’ Opera omnia (Antwerp: Christophe Plantin, 30 September 1574). The publisher Antoine Gryphe retained the arrangement of Plantin’s edition, reprinting the dedicatory letter to the Emperor Maximilian II, Lipsius’ biographical essay, and brief anthology of testimonials from ancient authors, but omitting the dedicatory letter of the Opera minora to Johannes Sambucus. On the page preceding the text of the Annales, Gryphe announces that he is annexing his 1569 edition of Maurus’ notae. Nothing is known of Maurus (not even his vernacular name), except that he practiced law, and evidently worked for a publisher in Lyon as a corrector. Anselmo Dandini (1546–1608) was a son of Pompeo Dandini of Cesena, Conte Palatino and Cavaliere Aurato, and, after 1539, an imperial count, entitled to incorporate the imperial eagle on the Dandini coat of arms: Tre stelle di otto punte dell’uno all’altro poste sulla trinciatura ed il capo d’oro all’aquila spiegata di nero. Anselmo studied in Bologna under the supervision of the orator Sebastiano Regoli da Brisighella (1514–1570), then at Bologna university, graduating in 1567 with a degree in utroque jure. At age thirteen, he had obtained a valuable benefice in Ferrara (Abate commendatario di S. Bartolomeo) from his uncle, Girolamo Dandini (1509–1559), nuncio to the court of François I (1543–1544), created cardinal by Julius III on 20 November 1551. Pius V appointed Anselmo Protonotario Apostolico and Referendario di Segnatura, which allowed him the privilege of using the insignia of an amaranth galero with twelve scarlet tassels. In 1578, Gregory XIII appointed him Nunzio ordinario to France, where he remained for three years. While in Paris, Anselmo kept a lavish court in the Hôtel de Sens. Among his expenses were gifts to his patrons in the Roman Curia: ruby and emerald rings, hats and leather gloves, eyeglasses, clocks and astrolabes—but especially books. Some details of these gifts are in letters addressed by Anselmo to his agent in Rome, Giovanni Battista Schiani. In February 1579, Anselmo sent a newly published breviary (Antwerp, 1579) to Cristoforo Turrettini, Segretario delle cifre to Pope Gregory XIII. A month later, he dispatched twelve liturgical and devotional books bound in blue leather, three volumes of them destined for the pope himself, and three each for officials of the papal household: Lodovico Bianchetti (Maestro di camera pontificio), Paolo Ghislieri (nephew of Pius V), and Aurelio Savignani (Scutifero); plus twelve volumes of the same, these bound in red leather, for Cardinals Tolomeo Gallio (Segretario di Stato), Filippo Boncompagni, and Filippo Guastavillani; two of the same, bound in brown leather, for a Monsignor San Vitali; four of the same in unspecified bindings for Francesco Valdevieso and Schiani himself; and a Bible in sextodecimo format, bound in five volumes, for Scipione Cittadini, canon of Faenza, and Anselmo’s Maestro di casa. These books, together with three pairs of gloves (two for Schiani, one for a certain Annibale Lioni) were conveyed to Rome by the bankers Bandini. The books evidently were well received, as in February 1580 Anselmo despatched a similar shipment to Rome: five breviaries (two bound in blue leather, for Guastavillani and Boncompagni; three in brown leather, for Bianchetti, Savignani, and Turrettini), plus five diurnals (unbound) and a missal for Turrettini. Only two books bound in Paris for Dandini himself are recorded, this one, and another now untraced. That volume— Horatius Flaccus, Opera (Antwerp: Christophe Plantin, 1566)—is similarly decorated à la fanfare incorporating Dandini’s armorial supralibros with cappello prelatizio, and it presumably originated in the same, as yet unidentified workshop. The Horace was evidently first published in a Sotheby’s catalogue for a sale that included property from Charles Carmichael Lacaita (1853–1933), London, 20–22 July 1936, lot 117. There it was knocked down to Vicomte Louis de Pardieu for £26, but reappeared in the Sotheby’s rooms a year and half later, 20–22 December 1937, where it fell for £14 10s to a bidder identified as Stratford. After a third Sotheby’s auction in 1941, Dandini’s Horace, making its fourth appearance in the rooms, was purchased by Maggs for £30, lot 258, 31 March–1 April 1952. The volume subsequently appeared in Maggs Bros.
