ALAMANNI, Luigi.
Girone Il Cortese. Di......Christianissimo, Et Inuittissimo, Re arrigo Secondo. Nuovamente Riveduto et Corretto Con Altre Agiunte Del Autore Medissimo....
Venice: Vinegia per Comin da Trino di Monferrato, 1549. Second edition. (first published 1548). Despite the phrase "nuovamente riveduto et corretto con altre agiunte del autore medesimo" the text of this edition is as the first, "the claim is simply a trick by the printer, there are no corrections." (Ebert I.p.29) 8vo., full cont. vellum, single gilt dec. in compartments, leather spine label, 8leaves, 185 leaves. [ *8, A-Z8, Aa1 ]printed in two columns. Mark on the front pastedown from the removal of a bookplate, vellum somewhat yellowed, a bit of wear to the top of the spine gutters but in fact a near fine, clean copy.
Chivalric romance in Italian (Giron the Courtly) set in the time of King Arthur, done in ottava rima by Luigi Alamanni [1495-1556]; the ex-patriate Italian court poet to Francois I and Henri II at Fontainbleau, adapted from the French roman de chevalerie "Guiron le Courtois." Alamanni was born in Florence and was a friend of Machiavelli. Perhaps acting on encouragement of Machiavelli, Alamanni joined an unsuccessful conspiracy against Guilio de Medici, later Pope Clement VII. On Clements accession, he was force to flee to Venice and later to France, where he wrote the majority of his works which included Eclogues; Poesies Lyriques; Satires Morales, etc. However, his fame has come to rest on the heroic poem "Girone Il Cortese." It derives from the original French roman of the same title written in 1235. It is a "retrospective sequel" to Lancelot and Tristan, the romance's protagonists who are the predecessors of the Knights of the Round Table, under the reign of Uther Pandragon and Arthur. The central theme of Arthur's war against Meliades soon dissolves into a succession of individual adventures, in the tradition of the Grail quest romances and all the grand Arthurian themes are treated; ie. the spirit of chivalry, love, friendship, betrayal, etc. Arthurian romances enjoyed great popularity in Italy from the mid-thirteenth century on, and spawned Italian originals.

ALAMANNI, Luigi.
La Coltivation. Parigi (Paris): Roberto Stephano, (R. Estienne), 1546. First edition. With the bookplate of Stillman Drake. 8vo., full contemporary limp vellum, 154, 8pp. [A-T8, U-X2, (2) leaves. With the errata on U2v. In this copy the dedication leaves signed * are inserted at the end rather than between A1 and a2 as in Schreiber 88. Bookplates, small hole in the titlepage, ink blot on a2, at some point there has been some damp to the foredge which has caused someone to trim the foredge as well as that side of the vellum wrapper (however there are still quite large margins), there is damp to the outer margins through most of the work and there is some rotting to the edges of some leaves, there is slight loss to the margins of the e/papers through A3, some loss to the edge of the wrapper but this is still a very good copy. "The work is unique among the books produced by Robert Estienne in two respects; it is the only book printed entirely in Estienne's larger italic, and also the only one printed in Italian, in fact, it is the only book in a modern language, other than French to issue from Robert Estienne's press." (Schreiber). First edition of this famous didactic poem on the care of fields and gardens, written in imitation of Virgil's Georgics. Alammani wrote the poem while at the court of Francois I, where he became on of the most influential Italian poets at the French court.
