Both volumes foxed in places; a few spots, fingermarks, and early ink stains. Provenance: on the first title-page of the first volume ownership inscription of Benedetto Varchi (1503-1565; Di Bened. Varchi ); another erased, and quite illegible ownership inscription in the same title-page; both volumes from the library of Gian Giacomo Trivulzio (1774-1831; his initials G.G.T. inked on the front pastedowns; the notices 1802. 23 7.bre Broc. and fr. 45 on the front pastedown of the first volume). A fine set, uniformly bound, from the celebrated library once owned by Count Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, which was particularly well endowed with testi di lingua. An additional noteworthy feature is its earliest recorded ownership in the first volume, referring to the outstanding Florentine humanist Benedetto Varchi. The first volume opens with the first edition of Trissino s Italian translation of the De vulgari eloquentia, the unfinished treatise written in Latin by an exiled Dante between 1304 and 1307. The subject of the work is the nature of poetry in vernacular languages, above all Italian; against their detractors, the work attempts to defend the eloquence of vernacular languages, which, in Dante s opinion, have the potential of being just as dignified as Latin. Trissino edited the De la Volgare Eloquenzia on the basis of a manuscript in his possession, today in the Biblioteca Trivulziana in Milan (ms 1088) the original Latin text only appeared in 1577. In addition to the Italian translation of De vulgari eloquentia, the miscellaneous first volume also includes as is frequently the case two treatises composed by Trissino himself: the first edition of the Dialogo intitulato il Castellano and the reprint of the Epistola de le lettere nuovamente aggiunte ne la lingua italiana, first published in 1524, and included by Paganino in his Trissino collection of 1527/29 (see the previous item). The second volume presents the first edition of Trissino s Poetica, devoted to Aristotle s theory of poetry and likewise printed as with the editions bound in the first volume by the enigmatic Vicenza printer Tolomeo Gianicolo, thanks to the ten-year privilege granted by Pope Clement VII. The texts are set in the handsome italic type, with the addition of the Greek vocals ε and ω, designed for him by Ludovico degli Arrighi. I. Adams D-121; STC Italian 208; Mambelli p. 277; Gamba 1709.
