Description
Rome: Gugilemo Faciotto, 1592. Agustín, Antonio (1517-86). Dialoghi di Don Antonio Agostini archivescovo di Tarracona intorno alle medaglie inscrittioni et altre antichita tradotti di lingua Spagnola in italiana da Diogini Ottaviano Sada. [26, incl. engraved title], 318, [38]pp., 6ff. Woodcut text illustrations. Rome: Apresso Guglielmo Faciotto, 1592. 322 x 225 mm. 19th-century half vellum, light rubbing and wear. Signatures ++4, +++4, Pp-Rr4 and [maltese cross]4 supplied from another (smaller) copy, engraved title starting, some foxing and toning, marginal repairs to the last few leaves. Very good. First Edition in Italian of Agustín's treatise on coins, inscriptions and other antiquities, translated from the Spanish edition of 1587. Among the over 1200 woodcut illustrations in this edition are several by Geronima Parasole, one of very few identified female artists and illustrators of the 16th century. "Some of the large woodcuts bear the monograms P.M.F. (e.g. on the title border) or G.A.P. (e.g. on p. 124) attributed to Geromina [Cagnaccia] Parasole (fl. end of the 16th century), a Roman artist, cousin of Isabetta Parasole, who was with Vinciolo and Cesare Vecellio, the most important lace designer of the late 16th century. Apart from Geronima's contribution to the present work, only a few woodcuts by her after designs of Antonio Tempesta are known (cf. G.K. Nagler, Die Monogrammisten, München, 1919, II p. 968, no. 2715; IV, p. 926, no. 3141). It seems very likely that this is the earliest known book in which illustrations by a woman are found. In the sixteenth century only thirty-five women are known to have been artists, and according to our researches Geronima and Isabetta Parasole were the only women who contributed to book illustration in that period" (Erdmann, My Gracious Silence, p. 130). Agustín's book, intended for a general readership, is written in the form of eleven dialogues between an experienced antiquarian and a pair of beginners eager to learn about coins, inscriptions, and other antiquities. It includes instructions on identifying coins and medals, discussions of Roman, French, African and Spanish medals, and methods of identifying fakes. .

An excellent copy of Rachel Carson's pivotal work of modern environmentalism. "A marine biologist and nature writer, Rachel Carson catalyzed the global environmental movement with her 1962 book Silent Spring. Outlining the dangers of chemical pesticides, the book led to a nationwide ban on DDT...and ultimately led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)" (National Women's History Museum). As a result of her work to prevent destruction of ecosystems and to curb the dangers pesticides posed to the health of human communities, Carson was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Silent Spring remains an influential text, and it appears in the Modern Library List of Best 20th Century Nonfiction and Discover Magazine's 25 Greatest Scientific Books of All Time. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.
