Description
1790. Framed. Good. Mary Watkinson, a student at Mrs. Clarke's School, created this small-ish sampler in 1790. In addition to the typical alphabet, here all caps, and numbers, here 1 to 16, the sampler has a few short homilies, such as j"Be thankfull for a friendly reproof" and "Spend your time well". The sampler, we think, is quite accomplished for a seven year old. It measure, in sight, 25.5 by 23 cm, and with the frame, 30 by 28 cm. We assume the sampler is American, but we can't be 100 percent certain of this, and we haven't been able to identify the Mrs. Clarke's School. The fabric has a few holes, with some minor loss of the lettering, and a film of soiling, yet it remains decoratively appealing as is.

Description
Venice: Heredi dell’Imberti, 1644. Hardcover. Good+. 8vo (150 x 94mm). 325pp. Later vellum. Signatures: +(8), A-T(8), V(4). Woodcut printer’s device with bird on three hills and monogram GI within cartouche frame. Over 60 in-text rectangular woodcuts depicting of scenes from the “Metamorphoses”; (title and few signatures intermittently browned, some ink burning on title, margins trimmed; otherwise complete and good). Some early provenance is evident; the title page is inscribed in a 17th century hand by “Carlo Bulgarini” possibly the nobleman Carlo Bulgarini of Mantua (d. 1685) whose family was known to have prolific book collections in Italy and France; most famously is the library of his grandfather Bellisario Bulgarini, circa 1560 to 1660. Later owned in the mid-19th century by the Italian historian and nobleman Marchese Cesare Campori (1814-1880), whose ownership label is on the verso front endpaper. Pictorial bookplate of Kirby Flower Smith (1862-1918), professor of Latin and humanistic studies at Johns Hopkins University, on front pastedown. Latin editions of the Apuleian Roman verse satire, the Metamorphoses, were some of the earliest works to be printed at the dawn of the print age. In 1518, Io. Zoppino and his compagno published the first edition of Matteo Maria Boiardo’s Italian translation made from the authoritative manuscript at the Monastery of Monte Cassino. The Metamorphoses was reprinted several times over the 16th and 17th centuries; appearing here in 1644 in Italian after the translation of the Bolognese patrician, Pompeo Vizani. Later printings used the well-known colloquial title, “The Golden Ass,” given by the Church Father St. Augustine of Hippo. Vizani prepared this “newly translated” edition after other translations of “The Golden Ass” by Agnolo Firenzuola and Matteo Maria Boiardo were retired. The woodcuts here are those used in Zoppino’s original edition and reprinted in several editions of “The Golden Ass” well into the 17th century. “The Golden Ass,” written with its pointed sense of irony and taste for the asinine, was a favorite narrative at European courts during the Renaissance and early Baroque, especially well-received at the court of Ercole I d’Este, Duke of Ferrara (1431-1505) who was known to circulate it within his crowds. It is not surprising then that our copy has an early provenance that ties it to some named figures of Italian nobility.

Paris; [Abbeville]: Achille Faure, Libraire-Editeur, 23 Rue Saint-Martin; [Imprimerie de P. Briez], 1866. Duodecimo (19 x 12.5 cm.), 180 pages. FIRST EDITION. Not so much a recipe book, but a collection of three hundred eleven culinary observations and recommendations – often on specific dishes – with a calendar. Despite the popularity of this little work, and the many reprint editions it has endured (including one as recent as 2017 (Centre Pompidou), the author remains uncredited. He did write a second work, published by Faure in 1867, and titled, La Cuisine Pour Tous. ABC pratique à l'usage des ménagères. Perhaps the author was Alfred Delvau, author of who was being published at the time by Faure? Little bump to head of spine, otherwise a fine copy in contemporary green buckram. With the ex libris stamp of "H.J. Grossi" and the bookseller’s stamp of "Cooks Books" to the rear paste down. Scarce in the first edition. [OCLC locates just one copy of the first edition (and several others dated 1866, but identifed as later editions); Vicaire 43 (citing this and an 1879 edition); Bitting (citing an 1886 edition)].
