DONI, Antonio Francesco (1513-1574). La Libraria del Doni Fiorentino. Nella quale sono scritti tutti gl' autori vulgari con cento discorsi sopra quelli. Tutte le tradutioni fatte dall'altre lingue nella nostra & una tavola generalmente come si costuma fra Librari. Venice: Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari, 1550. -- DONI. La Seconda Libraria del Doni. Venice: Francesco Marcolini, 1551.
2 volumes bound in one, 12o (128 x 74 mm). Woodcut printer's devices on title-pages, the second partially colored by hand. (Some occasional pale spotting.) Late seventeenth or early eighteenth century Italian vellum, manuscript title on smooth spine, marbled edges. Provenance: "Julii Erasmi et Amicor" (contemporary inscription on title).
FIRST EDITION of La Libraria, the first bibliography in a vernacular language, and the first of Italian printed books, including translations into that language. On ff. 63-66 is "La Musica stampata, madrigali, mottetti, messe & canzoni," the first bibliography of printed music. La Seconda Libraria, issued the following year by a different Venetian printer, lists the works of authors which have survived in manuscript. Doni has here inserted a few fictitious names and titles under the works of the authors (arranged, as in the 1550 volume, alphabetically under their first names). A list of the Italian Academies and the pseudonyms employed by their members, as well as their works in volgare, is provided on ff. 106-112. Breslauer & Folter 18; Ottino & Fumagalli 604.
