Description
Venice: Giovanni Tacuino da Trino, 1511. THE FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF VITRUVIUS, edited by the architect Fra Giovanni Giocondo. Hardcover. Fine. Text printed in Roman type, with a few words in Greek. The publisher’s orb and cross device appears on the penultimate leaf and in the illustration on leaf H5 verso. The text is illustrated with 136 woodcuts measuring from 52 x 128 mm. to 230 x 132 mm. These are diagrams, plans, architectural details, and illustrations of engineering machinery in use. The block on leaf G8 verso is printed upside down. The title features an elaborate woodcut title border with dolphins. A very fine copy bound in 18th c. English paneled calf (rebacked, corners bumped, extremities worn, modern endpapers.) The leaves are very fine and unwashed, with numerous 16th c. marginal annotations in Books I-III and less frequently in Books 4, 8, and 10; the woodcut on leaf folio 41 verso colored at an early date. Minor cosmetic blemishes as follows; title v. lightly soiled, light oil stain to upper margin of folio 77; folio 97 recto dusty and with a few light stains; light marginal dampstain to lower outer corner of final gathering; last leaf soiled on verso, occ. marginal soiling. The 1511 edition of Vitruvius’ “De architectura” marks a revolutionary development in the Renaissance reception of Vitruvius and the book’s influence on Renaissance architecture. It holds the distinction of being the first illustrated edition, with woodcuts based on drawings by the editor, the Veronese architect and engineer Fra Giovanni Giocondo, whose achievements include the construction of the bridge of Notre Dame in Paris and his appointment as architect of Saint Peter’s basilica in Rome. The book, illustrated with 136 woodcuts (some inspired by illuminated drawings in the Vatican Library), was printed in Venice, where Fra Giocondo served as chief architect for Venice’s ruling Consiglio dei dieci (“Council of ten”). While beautiful, the woodcuts were not intended as merely decorative but rather as practical visual aids for architects, urban planners, and engineers. The title explains their function explicitly: “M. Vitruvius per Iocundum solito castigatior factus cum figuris et tabula ut iam legi et intelligi possit” (“M. Vitruvius, made more correct, with figures and tables to make it possible to read and understand the text”.) The explanatory “tables” mentioned in the title are found at the end of the book, with the text printed in three columns. Also a learned humanist, Fra Giocondo improved the text, filling in lacunae using manuscripts unknown to earlier editors and providing shoulder notes in the margins. The book, therefore, served two audiences: the humanist theorists who influenced Renaissance culture; and the architects, craftsmen, and urban planners who realized these concepts in concrete form. In his dual capacity as architect/engineer and humanist, Fra Giocondo was uniquely qualified to influence the shaping of Renaissance Venice. In his professional capacity, he was charged with the improvement of the city’s infrastructure, in particular the amelioration of the build-up of silt in the Venetian lagoon. As an intellectual, close to the future Doge Andrea Gritti, he helped realize the “Renovatio urbis” (the “renewal of the city”), satisfying the Venetians’ desire to see their city reflect principles of classical culture and design. Fra Giocondo’s 1511 Vitruvius is a testament to the confluence of these two currents, the intellectual and the practical, which would raise Venice in a short time to a city that could compete with Renaissance Rome as a magnet for architects. Moreover, the book’s editorial and graphic excellence exerted a profound influence on later editions. The significance of Giocondo and his book in the development of Venice was succinctly stated by the 18th c. art historian Scipione Maffei, who wrote that Giocondo “could be called the second edificator of Venice” (“potea chiamarsi secondo edificator di Venezia”.) “Fra (Frate) Giovanni Gioconda was one of the most distinguished architectural theorists and practitioners of his time. During his long career he served three kings -Ferrante of Naples, Charles VIII, and Louis XII of France- the Venetian republic, and the papacy. “During his stay in Naples, Fra Gioconda met several distinguished Renaissance architects and humanists and began his work on Vitruvius. In c. 1489 he may have contributed to the engineering project to bring water to Poggio Reale and to the moats of Naples; he overlapped with Giuliano da Sangallo, whom he met again at the end of their lives in Rome at the construction site of Saint Peter's. In 1492 he is recorded as taking an apprentice in Naples for five years. That year he may also have worked with Francesco di Giorgio Martini on a translation and illustration of Vitruvius, which Francesco offered to the duke of Calabria… “After the invasion of Naples by the French army, Fra Gioconda was invited back to France by Charles VIII; he is documented in France in 1498 and was there perhaps as early as 1495. In 1500 he built the bridge of Notre Dame in Paris, considered by Vincenzo Scamozzi as the first classical bridge of the Renaissance… Fra Giocondo's presence in Paris marks the beginning of Vitruvian studies in France; the public and private lectures that he offered are documented by the notes of his pupil Guillaume Budé… “Fra Giocondo passed from French royal service into the service of the Venetian republic, where he worked as hydraulic and military engineer between 1506 and 1514. He worked on the improvements of the port of Venice, threatened by deposits of the Brenta river. In 1514 he made a design for the Rialto bridge and surrounding buildings in Venice in the form of a Roman forum… “Fra Giocondo's publication of his edition of Vitruvius in 1511 is the best remembered of his Venetian projects. It was dedicated to Pope Julius II, at a time when Venice was making its peace with the papacy, and Fra Giocondo may have envisaged his own, eventually realized, move to Rome. Fra Giocondo's claim for his edition is that he reconciled the reconstituted Latin text with the extant ancient Roman ruins… “Fra Giocondo had distinguished counselors in Venice, including Pietro Bembo, Giovanni Lascaris, and Giovanni Marco da Landinara, an expert in optics, who assisted him with the illustrations. The graphic segment is in fact the great breakthrough of Fra Giocondo's edition… The woodcut illustrations, based on drawings probably prepared by Fra Giocondo himself, are assumed to have been made by the publisher… “Fra Giocondo's stellar career was crowned by appointment to papal service in 1513, when he was nominated architect of Saint Peter's upon the death of Donato Bramante. He occupied this position with Raphael and with Giuliano da Sangallo, with whom he also shared a great interest in architectural theory and archaeology. Lavishly salaried and provisioned by the pope, Fra Giocondo was encouraged to live well and remain in good physical condition; but he was already eighty. Raphael believed that Fra Giocondo was "given to him by the pope" to learn his architectural secrets; in fact they talked every day about the building of Saint Peter's, where they probably focused on stabilizing the foundations of the basilica.”(Millard Catalogue) Vitruvius’ “On Architecture”: “De architectura” is the only text of Greco-Roman architecture that has survived from antiquity. It’s importance in the history of Western architecture from the Renaissance to the nineteenth-century is immeasurable, and it remains, to this day, fundamental to the historical study of architecture. Though not quite forgotten in the Middle Ages, Vitruvius’ treatise experienced a revival in the fifteenth-century and soon became a central text for architects and architectural theorists… “Based on Vitruvius' own experience and dedicated to the Emperor Augustus, the treatise was the result of two separate writing campaigns. Vitruvius affirms that he spent thirty-five to forty years on the composition of his treatise. There is a sixty-three­item bibliography, which is the only reference we have to Vitruvius' ancient sources on architecture… “In the first book, Vitruvius discusses the elements of architecture, the siting of the town, its fortifications, its streets, and the location of its principal buildings. Book 2 is devoted to building materials but also explores the origin of buildings and the characteristics of the four natural elements. Books 3 and 4 are concerned with temples; in an earlier version they probably formed one book. At the beginning of book 3, Vitruvius offers his fundamental anthropomorphic proportional system for architecture. He discusses temple types, columns and intercolumniations, foundations, and the Ionic order. The Corinthian order, the origin of orders, and the proportions of the Tuscan order are among the subjects of book 4. In books 5 and 6, Vitruvius shifts attention toward the interior of buildings, and from sacred to functional structures. Thus in book 5 he explores the major public buildings and spaces of the Roman city, which include the forum, the basilica, the curia, the baths and gymnasia, and harbors. He compares the Greek and Roman theaters in a passage that became invaluable for Renaissance readers. Book 6, on private dwellings, is a fundamental part of the treatise. Here Vitruvius examines Roman and Greek houses, setting out their principal rooms, their proportions, exposure, size, and embellishments. These six books may have formed the original treatise in its first arrangement, which Vitruvius offered to Julius Caesar. The remaining four books were composed subsequently. “Book 7 deals with the cladding of buildings, the finishing materials for floors, walls, and ceilings, including a discussion of decorations appropriate to wall painting. The last three books deal with technical matters; concerned respectively with hydraulics, timepieces and machinery, they seem most distant from our own interpretation of the discipline of architecture. In book 8, Vitruvius displays his great practical experience in finding, conducting, and taming water. In book 9 -the least susceptible to updating of the entire treatise­ Vitruvius amplified his discussion of clocks extensively with lore concerning the planets and the phases of the moon, the constellations, complicated sundials, and water clocks. Frank Brown (1981) believes that books 8 and 9 were written last… “Book 10 is the longest chapter, ‘crowded with Vitruvius' experience’ in engineering. This book is an essential textbook of contemporary technology, to be used in peace and war. Vitruvius first considers the principles and vocabulary of mechanics. He then examines various pieces of machinery such as pulleys for hoisting, wheels and bucket-chains for raising water, sluices and millstreams, the endless screw, the force-pump, the water organ, and the odometer for the measurement of land and sea travel. Among his war engines are catapults and ballistae, battering rams, towers, and armored sheds. “The Vitruvian text became for Renaissance architecture what biblical studies had been for theology. It became the foundational Urtext of architectural theory and practice, with a huge afterlife. His precepts were examined as valuable instruction and dependable theory for architecture in the Renaissance, when -searching for an ancient Roman source ­humanists and architects became interested enough to sort out his text… “Vitruvius' treatise was fundamental for the two main research interests in Roman architecture in the first decades of the sixteenth century: the archaeological verification of the Renaissance architectural style through the theory of the classical orders, and the elaboration or creation of new urban housing forms. Books 4 and 6 thus received particularly intense commentary. Other extensively studied passages in the text included the discussion of the modes of graphic representation of architecture, the origin of human shelter, the anthropomorphic proportional system of classical architecture, and the ideal planning of cities. Furthermore, each commentator on Vitruvius attempted to situate the text so as to verify current practices and architectural composition, thus using the authority of the text to justify personal or regional practices. Vitruvius became an important guide to the understanding of the archaeological remains of Rome, but a problematic one, since his descriptions often clashed with the reality of imperial Roman architectural ruins strewn about the Renaissance city.”(Millard Catalogue).

London: In Paules churche yarde at the sygne of the holy Ghost, by Ihon Cawoode, prynter to the Kynge and Quenes Maiesties, 1556. FIRST EDITION of Coleville’s translation. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in contemporary English calfskin, rebacked in the 19th c., a few patches to the leather of the boards. Text in very good condition with occasional browning, darker in signatures I and K. Light dampstain to signatures T, Z, Bb, and Ff. Text in Latin and English in two columns, the former printed in italics and the latter in black letter, small woodcut initials. Very rare. Only 5 U.S. copies in ESTC: Folger (Defective), Harvard, Huntington, Yale, Illinois. Dedicated to Queen Mary Tudor, Coleville’s English translation of Boethius’ masterpiece is the only early English translation to include the original Latin text, indicating that, in addition to those readers with no knowledge of Latin, the author took into consideration the more educated, Latin-literate English audience. Coleville provides interesting marginal glosses and explanatory notes, including the tale of the sword of Damocles. In an amusing instance, either through ignorance or prudishness, he explains that the beautiful youth Alcibiades was a woman(!) But, remarkably, Coleville also incorporates such explanations as amplifications into the text itself, such as when Coleville seeks to clarify astronomical and meteorological references in Boethius’ text. The result is a rendering of Boethius’ work that offers us insight to the way in which the “Consolation”, a work in which references to Christianity are noticeably absent, was interpreted by a mid-16th c. English Catholic educated in the humanist tradition. As Kenneth Hawley observes: “The translation is replete with Coleville’s own insertions that attempt to amplify and/or clarify something he considers ambiguous or partially true. In his presentation of the passage wherein Lady Philosophy asserts that all motion and mutability derive ultimately ‘ex diuinæ mentis stabilitate’, Colville identifies the divine as God and divides his mind into its constituent parts, so that such changeable things exist ‘by the stedfastnes of gods wyll and pleasure’. Thus, God’s intellectual immutability allows such moved things to exist and holds them together because he wants to do so, because it pleases him to do so. This phrase ‘wyll and pleasure’ was apparently a typical idiom in Colville’s day, as attested by John Knox’s 1556 printing, ‘Book of Common Order’, which refers to ‘the good will and pleasure of Almighty God.’” Boethius and the “Consolation of Philosophy” "The Roman statesman and philosopher Boethius, often styled "the last of the Romans", is regarded by tradition as a Christian martyr. He was left an orphan at an early age and was educated by the pious and noble-minded Symmachus, whose daughter, Rusticana, he married. As early as 507 he was known as a learned man, and as such was entrusted by King Theodoric with several important missions. He enjoyed the confidence of the king, and as a patrician of Rome was looked up to by the representatives of the Roman nobility. When, however, his enemies accused him of disloyalty to the Ostrogothic king, alleging that he plotted to restore ‘Roman liberty’, and added the accusation of ‘sacrilege’ (the practice of astrology), neither his noble birth nor his great popularity availed him. He was cast into prison, condemned unheard, and executed by order of Theodoric. During his imprisonment, he reflected on the instability of the favour of princes and the inconstancy of the devotion of his friends. These reflections suggested to him the theme of his best-known philosophical work, ‘De Consolatione Philosophiae’. "Written during his imprisonment, the ‘Consolations of Philosophy’ is justly called the most interesting example of prison literature the world has ever seen. It is a dialogue between Philosophy and Boethius, in which the Queen of Sciences strives to console the fallen statesman. The main argument of the discourse is the transitoriness and unreality of all earthly greatness and the superior desirability of the things of the mind. There are evident traces of the influence of the Neo-Platonists, especially of Proclus, and little, if anything, that can be said to reflect Christian influences. The recourse to Stoicism, especially to the doctrines of Seneca, was inevitable, considering the nature of the theme. “It does astonish the modern reader, although, strange to say, it did not surprise the medieval student, that Boethius, a Christian, and, as everyone in the Middle Ages believed, a Christian martyr, should have failed, in his moment of trial and mental stress to refer to the obvious Christian sources of consolation. Perhaps the medieval student of Boethius understood better than we do that a strictly formal dialogue on the consolation of philosophy should adhere rigorously to the realm of ‘natural truth’ and leave out of consideration the lesson to be derived from the moral maxims of Christianity – ‘supernatural truth’. "The work takes up many problems of metaphysics as well as of ethics. It treats of the Being and Nature of God, of providence and fate, of the origin of the universe, and of the freedom of the will. In medieval times, it became one of the most popular and influential philosophical books, a favorite study of statesmen, poets, and historians, as well as of philosophers and theologians. It was translated into Anglo-Saxon by King Alfred the Great and its influence may be traced in Beowulf, Chaucer, in Anglo-Norman and Provençal popular poetry, in the first specimens of Italian verse, and even in Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy.’”(Catholic Encyclopedia).
