Paperback. Condición: Good. Venice: [Domenico Farri,] 1598. Sexagesimo (16mo; 5 ½" x 3 ¾", 139mm x 95mm). [Full collation available.] With a woodcut world map on the title-page signed "GIOSEPPE ROSATIO F/1590 " within the block. Simply sewn. All edges of the text-block speckled in blue. Splits along the spine, some repaired; quite tender. Generally soiled, with some damp-staining at the very fore-corners. Témoins to the upper fore-corners of A5-9 and to the lower fore-corner of B15. Worming to the lower margin of A12-B2, not affecting the text. "Accn. No. 22" in graphite to the title-page. Ink and graphite marginal calculations of date to pp. 16, 23 and 47. Ink marginalium in an old hand to p. 45, noting the murder of Henri III of France. Presented with a shipping envelope postmarked 1928 and a storage envelope. Chronicles as a form of history date back to the early Roman period at least, although the name is Greek (from ???????, chronica, timely things). They take date as their guiding principle, and often reflect larger divisions such as ages (the età of the title) -- conventionally divided into six by Augustine of Hippo in his De catechizandis rudibus of ca. AD 400 -- divided according to major events such as the Deluge or the birth of Christ. It is commonly misunderstood that the chronicle is an undeveloped form of history, but Herodotus and Thucydides handily beg the question. Chronicles allow for the rigorous alignment of history in a world about which knowledge in Europe grew steadily from 1500. Thus Giuseppe Rosaccio (ca. 1530-1620) used this format in the closing decade of the XVIc to make this little handbook, drawing on more than forty authorities listed before the dedication. The first five ages take just 10 pages at the beginning of the text, the rest tracing the lives of the popes and other princes (inter alia) up to 1598. Rosaccio's work by this title was first published 1593, but as this is a living chronicle -- continually updated rather than ending on first composition -- each subsequent edition or issue naturally contains new material. Editions were printed in Brescia, Milan, Bologna, Florence and Ferrara before the first Venetian edition of 1595, and continued to be produced into early 1600's. A world map appears first in 1594 (Bologna: Rossi) but is far less detailed. Burden refers to the map but does not describe it. It is notable for showing a connected California and a distinct North America, as well as New Guinea and Sumatra. The shipping envelope comes from the London dealer Frank Hollings (James Francis Hollings Shepherd, 1844-ca. 1905) of 7, Great Turnstile in London, near Sir John Soane's Museum in Holborn, which traded from 1892 and was known for its chess books. It is postmarked 12 February 1928, and addressed to William Gwinn Mather (1857-1951) in Cleveland. Mather was a steel magnate who purchased land in Marquette County in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan to establish a model village for his workers. Thomas J. Holmes ran the William Gwinn Mather Library in Cleveland, and his return address is on the back of the envelope with a type-written description as well as a pasted label. Cf.

Hardcover. Condición: VG. Ruscelli / Ptolemy / Rosaccio / 1599 / La Geografia di Claudio Tolomeo Alessandrino, Tradotta di Greco nell' Idioma Volgare Italiano da Girolamo Russcelli, Et hora nuouamente ampliata Da Gioseffo Rosaccio [with:] Espositioni, et Introduttioni Universerali di Girolamo Ruscelli Sopra la Geografia di Claudio Tolomeo Alessandrino (Safe 1, 101291) Quarto. Later half vellum and marbled boards. Table of contents heavily annotated in an early hand. Leaves slightly age-toned. Very nice impressions of the maps. Three parts: [36],42;186;144 leaves + Ruscelli's Espoisitioni (with separate title page dated 1598): [27] leaves. Plus a total of 69 engraved double-page maps (comprising 27 ancient maps and 42 modern maps). A few diagrams in the text. Complete. A bit of foxing to preliminary leaves. Extensive ink notes to table in an early hand. Overall a very nice example with the maps all strong impressions. 1599 Edition of Ptolemy's Geography With Beautiful Engraved Maps Excellent example of Rosaccio's improvement on Ruscelli's Ptolemy, adding contemporaneous knowledge and interpretations as well as extensively reworking the copperplate-engraved maps with decorative sea monsters and ships. This edition has five more maps than the Italian edition of 1574 and added editorial commentary by Giuseppe Rosaccio - Bell. Rosaccio added several new maps to the 1598 and 1599 editions (including Europe, Africa, Asia, America, and a new double-hemisphere world map), updating the collation from the 1574 edition. The continental suite of maps represents reductions after Ortelius's maps while the world map is a reduction of Mercator's double-hemisphere map. Many additional maps have been updated, for example, the double hemisphere world map now has a large southern Terra Australis, occupying a vast portion of the globe. This is the seventh edition of Ruscelli's Ptolemy, and the fifth to be published in Italian. The first was printed at Venice in 1561. 69 double-page copperplate maps were printed with the text, and all but seven were from the same plates as those in the Italian editions of 1561, 1564 and 1574, and in the Latin edition of 1562. Many of [the maps] were retouched [in this edition] with the burin, and have small figures of ships, fishes, etc., introduced, and some new names added. The ancient maps comprise ten of Europe, four of Africa, twelve of Asia, and one of the world - Wilberforce Eames in Sabin, Bibliotheca Americana. This edition was published as the sun set on Ptolemy's millennia-long domination of the study of geography. Recognizing this, the work compares Ptolemy's geography to "modern" geography. The first section provides a full account of Ptolemaic geography, detailing coordinates for hundreds of localities, including cities, mountains, and supposed historical features. This section includes the traditional Ptolemaic suite of twenty-seven maps, with a world map, ten maps of Europe, four maps of Africa, and twelve maps of Asia. The second part, comprising four books, touches on more modern concepts of geography. This section includes thirty-seven maps and includes detailed descriptions of the regions of the world. These two sections are ordered similarly, allowing for easy comparison between the two schools of thought. As such, the work provides a fascinating look at how concepts regarding world geography were changing during the 16th century. American Maps The American maps, mostly contained the fourth book of the second part (leaves 125-140), along with the three general maps which incorporate America, are as follows: 2. Orbis Terrae Compendiosa Descriptio 10. Orbis Descriptio 126. America 128. Tierra Nueva 130. Nueva Hispania Tabula Nova . Book.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. A lovely collection of three fascinating treatises on chronology, geography, geology and astronomy, with charming naïf illustrations. In the first work, the author records: "1492: in this year, Cristoforo Colombo of Genova discovered the New World". These Venetian editions of 1597 are extremely rare. Giuseppe Rosaccio (c. 1520/50-1620) was an Italian physician, astronomer, cosmographer, geographer and traveller. Details of his early life and education are debated; traditionally, he was born in Pordenone (Friuli) and graduated in medicine and philosophy in Padua. He frequented the courts of northern Italy and eventually settled in Florence. An extremely prolific author, Rosaccio wrote some 40 works on a variety of subjects, including medicine, human physiognomy, history, travel and especially the natural sciences. He also published some free-standing planispheres and maps.  'The six ages of the world' is a treatise which summarises the history of the world according to the 'six ages' of the traditional Christian chronology. It is divided into six section, each dedicated to one age: the creation of the sky and the earth by God (first), Adam and his descendants (second), the Flood (third), the monarchies (fourth), the life of Christ (fifth), the lives of the Popes and Princes up until year 1596 (sixth). Within each section, Rosaccio lists the most remarkable events year by year: e.g. the accession and death of popes and emperors, plagues and faminse, and countless bizarre and prodigious events (in year 600, in Rhodes it rained blood, in Italy milk; in 1165, in Sicily a river was flowing upwards, in the Flanders a woman gave birth to snakes).   'Theatre of the sky and the earth' is concerned with the structure universe and everything in it. Rosaccio describes the celestial spheres illustrated in a large woodcut their position and movement, and mentions the dimensions of Hell and Purgatory. The Earth is illustrated in a charming planisphere, and four double-page plates are dedicated to the known continents: Europe, Africa, Asia and America. Each continent is also described (a note about Africa reads: "Africa is named from the word 'Afros', which signifies 'scare', because of the quantity of venomous animals born in Libya and Numidia"). Rosaccio also talks about rivers, earthquakes and their causes, the properties of metals, water and air. A final section on astronomy describes comets, the sun and the moon, planets and constellations.  'Discourses on eternity, age and time' deals with time and how to measure it. The author describes the century, year, week, month and day, the four seasons and the ages of men, and provides a simple guide on how to use dominical letters and the 'golden number' to determine the day of the week for particular dates. Also included are a lunar calendar for the years 1594-1612, a solar calendar indicating the hour and minute of sunrise and midday for every day of every month, and a 'Table of Planets' showing which planet will be 'the dominant planet' for the years between 1494 and 1670.

Minimi segni del tempo alla legatura e minimi difetti alle prime 10 pagine un poco stanche, peraltro interno fresco seppur lievemente rifilato in testa. Più che buon esemplare genuino. Affascinante edizione di uno dei testi più fortunati di Giuseppe Rosaccio (Pordenone, 1530-Venezia, 1621 ca.), stimato cartografo attivo a Venezia, fu autore di svariati atlanti, carte e planisferi, nonché di opere astronomiche, astrologiche e geografiche assai divulgate nella seconda metà del XVI secolo: Il Microcosmo, Mondo elementare e celeste, Discorso sulla nobiltà ed eccellenza delle Terra. A lui si deve anche la cura di un'edizione della Geografia di Tolomeo. La presente opera se da un lato si presenta come una classica enciclopedia umanistica uniformante, quindi, in base alla visione del mondo tardocinquecentesa, temi molto vari spazianti dall' astronomia, alla filosofia della natura, alla geologia fino alla religione, dall'altro tuttavia fornisce notizie precise sia testuali che grafiche su aspetti geografici e topografici basati su studi ma anche su ricerche sul campo (principalmente sull' Italia e l' Europa). Si ricordano ad esempio notizie su vari aspetti dell' Appennino tosco-emiliano (Porretta, San Donino); Sicilia e Sardegna; paesi scandinavi; Isole dei mari del Nord (Orcadi, Ebridi, Shetland); etc. Prsenti anche notizie climatiche e sulle comete Tutti i disegni sono dell'autore Dedicatoria dello stampatore al nobile veneziano Andrea Bragadino Cfr.

Raffigurazione del continente asiatico in decorativa cornice.

In Venezia, (Domenico Farri), 1598, in-8, cartone marmorizzato posteriore, pp. 13, (11:su 19). Una marca tipografica al frontespizio (donna con bimbo in braccio ed altri 2 in piedi ai lati; nel cartiglio: "Charitas"; entro cornice tipografica) in xilografia, indica come stampatore Farri: originario di Rivoltella, ma attivo a Venezia (ove fu iscritto alla corporazione dei librai) in proprio dal 1555; lavorò spesso su commissione per terzi, realizzando anche diverse contraffazioni di edizioni di successo, che lo portarono a richiami dell'Inquisizione. Questo esemplare è privo delle carte A8, B1, B7, B8; la carta B2 è invece legata fuori posto; mancano dunque: tavole di Lunario per gli anni 1596-1603, carta relativa alle "Hore del giorno e della notte, da che pianeta siano dominate" e la Tavola dei pianeti (al verso: carta finale, bianca). Gioseffo Rosazio (Pordenone 1530 c. - Firenze? 1620) fu medico, cosmografo, cartografo, astronomo-astrologo, viaggiatore e venditore di libri; a Venezia, Bologna e Firenze (ove dal 1590 ottenne la protezione del granduca Cosimo II, aprendo un suo "banco" di libri), ebbe multiforme attività e fu prolifico autore. Questa rara operetta fa parte della produzione probabilmente destinata "al consumo", sia nelle pubbliche piazze che nei palazzi dei signori.
