CIOTTI, John Baptist. First Part of Flowers, and Designs of Various Sorts of Modern Embroidery. Venice, Francesco di Franceschi, 1591 8vo oblong; bind. in cart.; cc. 20 as follows: cc. 2 nn. incl. Frontis. with typogr. mark, 17 cards of wood-engraved plates numbered III-XV, i.e. XVIIII, errata numer. after plate XVI, 1 c. nn.; large typogr. mark and Colophon on recto: "Appresso Nicolo Moretti, Ad instantia di Francesco di Franceschi." Fine copy. Very rare first edition of this work known only in two copies, of which only the first part was published. Important book of models and designs of embroidery, with the most diverse motifs, a precious testimony to a tradition born precisely in Italy in the early sixteenth century; these models were the iconography of reference not only in the area of Venice, where the art of lace-making was historic, but throughout Italy. The practical use that was made of these books, which were often dismembered and whose patterns were pierced to transport the design onto the fabric, makes it particularly rare and valuable to find them in a complete and well-preserved state. Lotz no. 121. Berlin Kat. 1642, describes a specimen with only 15 plates. Oblong 8vo; Binding in boards; leaves 20: 2 not numbered leaves including Titlepage with Printer's device, 17 plates engraved on wood numbered III-XV, i.e. XVIIII, error numbering after plate XVI, 1 not numbered leaf; wide printer's device and Colophon on the recto: "Appresso Nicolo Moretti, Ad instantia di Francesco di Franceschi." Nice specimen. Very rare first edition known in only two specimens of this work published only this first part. Important book of models and designs of embroidery, from different reasons, precious testimony of a tradition actually born in Italy in the early sixteenth century; these models have been the reference iconography not only in the Venice area, where was the historic art of lacemaking, but throughout Italy. The practical use that was made of these books, which often were dismembered and whose models were perforated to carry the design on the fabric, makes it particularly rare and precious the fact to find them in a state of completeness and of good conservation.

BENZI, Hugh. Expositio Ugonis Senensis super libros Tegni Galeni. Venice, Eredi di Ottaviano Scoto, 1518 Folio; 310x220 mm. Modern binding in full vellum. 93 cc. Colophon on paper 93v: "Venetijs, impensa heredum quondam domini Octauiani Scoti Modoetiensis; ac sociorum, 19 Ianuarij 1518" .Under typographic mark with initials O.S.M. Text in two columns, Gothic typeface. Numerous woodcut initials, many on criblé ground. Some marginalia in old hand. Fine copy. Bound with: BENZI, Hugh. Expositio Vgonis Senensis super Aforismos Hippocratis: & super commentum Galeni eius interpretis. Venice, Eredi di Ottaviano Scoto, 1517 Papers 159, 1 blank. Colophon on paper 159v: "Venetijs: sumptibus heredum quondam domini Octauiani Scoti Modoetiensis ac sociorum, 18 Iulij 1517." Typographic mark with initials O.S.M. in the recto of the last blank paper. Text in two columns, Gothic font. Numerous woodcut initials, many on criblé background. Some marginalia in old hand. Fine copy. Very rare edition. Collected in one volume are Benzi's two fundamental commentaries on the texts of Hippocrates and Galen. The commentary on the first work refers to Galen's "De Arte Medica," known as Tegni (a deformation of the Greek word τέχνη, "art"). During the Middle Ages, in fact, the Greek τέχνη ἰατρική was used to refer to Galen's Ars medica; the second work contains commentaries on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates. These commentaries on Hippocrates and Galen were born, according to the customs of the time, for the teaching in universities of classical texts: the doubts, problems, and discussions that arose from the teachers' explanations and the disciples' questions formed the basis of the quaestiones, through which the study of the ancient masters was attempted, and which were an integral part of the commentaries. Ugo Benzi, c. 1360 - 1439, born in Siena, initially studied at the Sienese Studio, then taught in Siena, Parma, Bologna, Pavia, Perugia and possibly at the Sorbonne; he was physician to the king of France, who called him to Paris. In 1437 he took part in the Council of Ferrara, at the call of Nicolò III d'Este, who had been cured of a serious skin disease by Benzi. First work: Durling; p. 221 n. 1845. Index Aureliensis, III, 116976. Second work: Wellcome, no. 3350. Cf. Dean Putnam Lockwood, Ugo Benzi, medieval philosopher and physician, 1376-1439, University of Chicago Press, 1951. Folio; 310x220 mm. Later full vellum binding. Leaves 93. Colophon on l. 93v: "Venetijs, impensa heredum quondam domini Octauiani Scoti Modoetiensis; ac sociorum, 19 Ianuarij 1518" and printer's device with the initials O.S.M.

Text on two columns, gothic type. Several woodcut initials letters, a lot on criblè background. Some ancient handwritten marginalia. Nice copy. Very rare editions. In one volume are bound two fundamental Benzi's comments on the Hippocrates and Galenus' texts. The commentary on the first work refers to Galen's "De Arte Medica," known by the name of Tegni (deformation of the Greek word τέχνη, "art"). During the Middle Ages, in fact, the Ars medica of Galen was indicated by the Greek term τέχνη ἰατρική; the second work contains the commentary on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates. These comments on Hippocrates and Galen were born, according to the customs of the time, for the teaching of classical texts in universities: the doubts, problems, discussions from the explanations of the masters and the questions of the disciples constituted the basis of the quaestiones, through which attempts were made to deepen the study of the ancient masters, and which were an integral part of the commentaries. Ugo Benzi, ca 1360 - 1439, born in Siena, initially studied at the Studio Senese, then taught in Siena, Parma, Bologna, Pavia, Perugia and perhaps also at the Sorbonne, was doctor to the King of France who called him to Paris. In 1437 he took part in the Council of Ferrara, at the request of Nicolò III d'Este, who had been cured of a serious skin disease by Benzi.
