Degli avvertimenti della lingua sopra’ I Decamerone. Venice: Domenico & Gio. Battista Guerra, 1584 [part II, Florence: Giunti, 1586]. [With:] – Ragionamento hauuto in Lione, da Claudio de Herberè … & da Alessandro degli Umberti … sopra alcuni luoghi del cento novelle del Boccaccio. Lyon: Guillaume Rouillé, 1557. [And:] – Degli elementi del parlar Toscano trattato. Florence: Giunti, 1584.
The De Thou copy of an important collection of three works, all first editions, discussing Italian linguistics. Salviati was a leading Italian philologist of the 16th century and founder of the Accademia della Crusca. Here he argues for the superiority of the Italian of Boccaccio and renders Decameron I, 9 in 12 different Italian dialects to prove his point. One of the versions is a common contemporary Florentine dialect, which remains remarkably close to Boccaccio, with Salviati concluding that the current Florentine dialect is is superior to others. I: Adams S-204 (pt. 1), Gamba 875, CNCE 37504; II: BMSTC p.222, Gamba 194, CNCE 30149; III: BMSTC p.74, Gamba 1251, CNCE 4306.
3 works in one (222 x 155mm). First work comprising 2 parts, I.1: engraved printer’s device on title, woodcut initials and head-pieces. (very light scattered spotting in gatherings 2I-2L); I.2: woodcut Giunta’s device on title and colophon; II: title printed within elaborate woodcut architectonic design, complete with final blank (some light even browning, more heavily affecting gathering H); III: woodcut Giunta’s device on title. Contemporary olive morocco with gilt arms on covers of Jacques Auguste de Thou and his first wife Marie Barbançon [Olivier 216, fer 5-6], with their gilt monogram ‘I.A.M.’ in spine panels (expertly restored at spine ends, furbished overall, extremities faintly rubbed).
