Description

SCOPPA, Lucius John. Lucii Ioannis Scoppae Parthenopei Grammatices istitutiones et in calce Epitome cum Metrorum Arte pro Pueris... S.l., s.t. [Venice, Paganino de Paganini, 1508]. In 8vo piccolo. 155x95 mm. Full vellum binding. Pp. (32), 541, [i.e. 543]. Pgs. 175-176 repeated in numbering. Paganini's Italic typeface, in two different bodies. Some ornate and historiated initials on criblé ground. Good copy. Very rare Editio Princeps. Important grammar of the Latin language by the Neapolitan Latinist Luigi Giovanni Scoppa, very famous for his encyclopedic erudition. In Naples he opened a veritable "school of grammar," for which the attached Epitome "ad usum puerorum," which was perhaps also sold separately, was perhaps also published here, including the art of metrics, which is interesting because the Latin phraseology is mostly accompanied by its interlinear counterpart in the vernacular. Typographically, this work should be ascribed to Paganino de Paganini, the progenitor of the famous family of printers of Brescian origin, best known for his edition of Luca Pacioli's text. Paganini's characteristic "odd cursive," a middle way between Roman characters and a less slanted cursive, appears in his printed works. In this work it is even present in three different bodies: one for the index placed at the opening, another for most of the text, and a third finally for the last part of the Epitome, beginning on p. 527. Preface by Archbishop Giovanni Battista Petrucci with c. a2v. dated "Neapoli quarto nonas Iunias.1508 "Brunet, V-235: "Fort rare"; S.T.C., Italian Books, p. 618. Small 8vo, mm. 155x95. Full vellum binding. Pp. 32, 541, [i.e. 543] (pages 175 and 176 are repeated in the numbering). Paganini's Italic type. Some initial historiated on criblé background. Good copy. Very rare Editio Princeps. Important grammar of the Latin language of the Neapolitan Latinist Luigi Giovanni Scoppa, very famous for his encyclopedic erudition. In Naples he opened a real "grammar school," for which the attached Epitome "ad usum puerorum" was also published, which perhaps was also sold separately, which includes metric art, interesting because the Latin phraseology is mostly accompanied by the interlinear consideration in the vernacular. Typographically, this work is ascribed to Paganino de Paganini, the progenitor of the famous family of printers of Brescia origin, known above all for the edition of the text by Luca Pacioli. In his works printed by Paganini, the characteristic "bizarre cursive" appears, a cross between Roman types and less inclined cursive. In this work even present in three different sizes: one for the index placed at the beginning, another for most of the text and a third finally for the last part of the Epitome, starting from p. 527. Preface by Archbishop Giovanni Battista Petrucci to leaf a2v. dated 'Neapoli quarto nonas Iunias. 1508".
