Description
Florence: Appresso i Giunti, 1623. BUONAROTTI. Rime di Michelagnolo Buonarroti. Raccolta da Michelagnolo suo Nipote. Florence: Appresso i Giunti, 1623. First edition. Small quarto (9 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches). [12], 88 pp. Woodcut device on title-page, decorative woodcut head- and tail-pieces and initials, typographic ornaments throughout. Uncut and bound in modern full brown speckled calf decoratively blindstamped on covers, gilt-stamped on spine with five raised bands. Minimal foxing throughout. Very good. We read in the preface that the intent of Michelangelo's heirs was to publish a definitive volume of verses as an antidote to the many spurious editions produced since his death. Michelangelo's grandnephew goes on to say that these verses were in large part taken from a manuscript in the Vatican Library, most of which is in his granduncle's hand. While this book is now hailed as a classic in modern gay literature, for many years this was not the case due to some creative editing by Michelangelo the Younger. The homoeroticism of Michelangelo's poetry was obscured when his grand nephew, Michelangelo the Younger, published an edition of the poetry in 1623 with the gender of pronouns changed from male to female. John Addington Symonds reclaimed Michelangelo's homoeroticism by translating his sonnets into English and writing a two-volume biography and publishing it in 1893. "But when the queer art historian John Addington Symonds was granted access to the Buonarroti family archives in Florence in 1863 he discovered a note written in the margin of the poems by Michelangelo's grand-nephew (called Michelangelo the Younger) saying that the poems must not be published in their original form because they expressed 'amor . . . virile', literally 'masculine love', a Renaissance polite euphemism for paiderastia, better translated as 'male-male desire'. Symonds thus was able to make public the fact that when Michelangelo the Younger prepared his great-uncle's poetry for posthumous publication in 1623 he had changed all the masculine pronouns in the love poems to feminine pronouns, thus ensuring that any sentiments in the poems that could not be interpreted as being merely platonic would at least be interpreted as being normal, i.e. heterosexual" (Rictor Norton). This edition was printed by one of the most famous printers of their day, the Giunti family, whose device on the title page included the Florentine giglio, or lily. These fine productions are still known to book collectors as "Giuntine." Gamba 248. HBS 67330 $5,000.

Description
1935. New York: Pierpont Morgan Library, 1935. Large 4to, text, illustrations including 63 color facsimile plates, in six fascicles in original wrappers with labels; near fine copy, small stain to one wrapper, enclosed in the original blue cloth box, rather worn. § A magnificent production, showing for the first time the three colored sets done by Blake and the drawings for the smaller set, as well as reproducing in fine facsimile the proof issue of the first printing. Issued in a small edition and hard to find in good condition. Bentley, BB, 374. "The 134 plates of this excellent edition include Blake's pencil drawings and watercolors and proofs of his engravings. For the genesis of Job it is of crucial importance." Despite the Trianon Press edition of 1987, this edition is still a necessity as it reproduces in color a set not reproduced in color in the Trianon edition.

Description
Paris: Le Bas, 1771. Nouvelle edition. Hardcover. Good. Four volumes, 12mo. [3], 130, 235, 85, 71 leafs. Decorative paper covered boards (spines worn). Remarkable narrative of Sacred History (first published between 1760 and 1762). Illustrated mostly by Le Maire, but also by Masquelier, du Clos, Gauché, and many others. These volumes consist of an unascribed bilingual text (Latin and French) to accompany plates illustrating Biblical scenes along with short interspersed series of scenes drawn from Homer and Virgil and a gallery of Muses by way of conclusion, with captions derived from Ausonius; the plates owe much to Goltzius, Diepenbeeck, and Le Temple des Muses, and anticipate some of Le Mire-Basan's "Métamorphoses Gravées" (Paris, 1770). Bindings rubbed along joints and edges. Corners bumped (not affecting pages throughout). Rear cover of second volume glued. Lacks the first leaf of Le Maire's dedication to the Duke of Burgundy. Otherwise, this work is complete! Sporadic and very minor age toning throughout. Text in French and Latin. A good set.
