Description
Florence: Appresso Bartolomeo Sermartelli e frateli, 1608. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in early 20th c. quarter red Morocco and marbled boards (small repairs to head and foot of spine). A fine copy with scattered mild spotting. Complete with the folding plate of the banquet (signed “Mattheus Greuter excudit”.) Two lines have been erased from the plate, as is the case in all copies I have examined. Manuscript foliation at head of first leaf. With the combined woodcut arms of Cosimo II and Maria Magdalena. Small woodcut of the Laocoön on leaf B4. Extremely rare. 1 copy traced in North America (Getty). First edition of these verses composed for a banquet, held in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence on 19 October 1608, celebrating the wedding of Cosimo II de’ Medici (1590-1621) and Maria Magdalena, Archduchess of Austria (1589-1631). The songs are sung by the Nymph of the Arno, possibly the singer, dressed as a nymph, who sat upon a giant conch shell at the left-hand side of the dais -upon which the bride’s banquet table was situated- with two musicians at her feet (one playing a harp). The engraved caption of the plate indicates which guests were seated at the bride’s table, and the positions of the musicians, singers, and performers. There are musicians seated on suspended clouds and noble children dressed as soldiers performing mock jousts; on either side of the dais are two floats, one with the singing nymph mentioned above, the other with Apollo, also singing and accompanied by musicians, seated in a chariot upon a cloud. The plate was engraved by Matteus Greuter (1564/6-1638) “Questa stampa illustra il banchetto nuziale che ebbe luogo il 19 ottobre 1608 a Firenze nel Salone dei Cinquecento a Palazzo Vecchio per le nozze di Cosimo dei Medici con Maria Maddalena d'Austria. La tavola incisa dal Greuter era inserita nell'opera del De Favilla "Rime" ma si trova anche nell'opera di C. Rinuccini "Descrizione delle feste fatte nelle reali nozze de' Serenissimi Principi di Toscana D. Cosimo de' Medici e Maria Maddalena Arciduchessa d'Austria", Firenze, 1608 (pp. 21-25) nella quale è dettagliatamente descritto lo svolgimento del banchetto.”(Catalogo generale dei Beni Culturali, 0900344206) Full caption: Convito / fatto in Fiorenza alle nozze de i Ser. mi sposi Cosimo de Med. gr.
