[PIEDMONT - PUBLISHING] COARDI DI QUARTO (18th century); GAIUS PLINIUS, The Younger (62-114 AD).

Panegyrique de Pline a Trajan en latin & en françois. Turin: François Mairesse, 1717. Beautiful set collecting the two preparatory manuscripts and the definitive printed edition of the French translation by Coardi di Quarto of the famous panegyric to Trajan by Pliny the Younger. The translation into French (rather than Italian), dedicated to the Prince of Piedmont (probably Charles Emmanuel III) did not please Antonio Muratori, who, thanking the translator for sending him a copy, wrote in a letter dated 18 June 1725: 'I have already joined the number of admirers of your happy genius.. and to give you an example of my true correspondence (after the sweet comes the bitter), I will also be pleased to give you an example of my true correspondence.. that I give you some criticism here .. for having written in French. I, as an Italian, feel a little gall in my heart when I see that an Italian cavalier, who could and should give glory to his homeland and to his own language.. wants to use his talent and style to enlarge a foreign nation that we ourselves have dearly loved for having driven out of Italy. It seems to me that this is a prostitution to those beyond the Alps and shows little love to our nation. I will add nothing more.'' Manuscript, (330 x 220mm), with autograph signature to the preface, in cursive script and with numerous manuscript correction slips in a beautiful calligraphic hand (slightly browned).
