Description

MONTANO, Giovan Battista (1534-1621). Architettura con diversi ornamenti cavati dall'antico. Rome:

Callisto Ferranti, 1636. Scarce first edition, published posthumously, complete with the 42 finely engraved plates. In 1684 the five works by Montano, including this one, were republished by the printer Giovanni Domenico De Rossi as a unified corpus. Besides being an architect, Montano also distinguished himself as a carver: to him we owe the magnificent engraving work of the Biagi organ in the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, the oldest Roman organ still in working order. Folio, (405 x 260 mm). 42 full-page engraved plates, all numbered except the last two, including title-page and dedicatory plate to Cardinal Lelio Biscia. Wide margins, good impressions (occasional dampstaining throughout the volume, occasional browning, chipping touching the engraved plate at plate 8, blank margins of last two plates chipped). Binding in half vellum with marbled boards, title gilt directly to spine. (1)
