SCARDEONE, Bernardino. Historiae de urbis patauii antiquitate, et claris civibus patauinis libri tres. Basilea, Nicolaum Episcopium iuniorem,1560 In-folio, 325x215 mm; legatura in mezza pergamena e cartonato con angoli. Pp. 16, 437, 22, ultima bianca, marca editoriale al frontespizio e in fine cicogna che afferra un sasso posta su un pastorale sorretto da una mano che esce da una nuvola, Xilografia della città di Padova sul verso del frontespizio. Qualche brunitura e macchiette, lievi gore al taglio superiore. Bell’esemplare. Opera di storia locale e municipale, il De antiquitate ha la struttura di un dizionario biografico dei padovani illustri, dall’età romana al 1559, cui sono premessi alcuni libri che trattano della storia antica e della geografia del territorio, di monumenti epigrafici insigni (alcuni dei quali raccolti da Scardeone), dell’organizzazione religiosa dello spazio urbano (parrocchie, monasteri e conventi, ospedali, luoghi pii). Il libro contiene una mole considerevole di notizie su personaggi contemporanei all’autore, o di poco a lui anteriori, che ne fa strumento tuttora valido. Lo Scardeone, al culmine della sua carriera ecclesiastica, ottenne il privilegio di stampa dell’opera da Venezia il 6 settembre 1557, ma continuò a limare il manoscritto almeno fino al settembre del 1559. Bandini, 1991-1992, p. 298. Folio, 325x215 mm; quarter vellum binding with corner. Pp. 16, 437, 22, last leaf blank. Woodcut printer’s device on titlepage. Woodcut with view of the city on titlepage verso. Some browning and little spots, slight stain of humidity on top. Nice copy. A work of local and municipal history, the De antiquitate has the structure of a biographical dictionary of illustrious Paduans, from the Roman age to 1559, which includes some books dealing with ancient history and the geography of the territory, with outstanding epigraphic monuments (some of which collected by Scardeone), of the religious organization of the urban space (parishes, monasteries and convents, hospitals, pious places). The book contains a considerable amount of information on characters contemporary to the author, or slightly older than him, which makes him a valid tool today. Lo Scardeone, at the height of his ecclesiastical career, obtained the privilege of printing the work from Venice on 6 September 1557, but continued to file the manuscript at least until September 1559.
