Details
POGGESI, Angelo (17th-century)
Della Pisana Caccia. Pisa: Cesare & Francesco Bindi, 1697.
One of the rarest works on hunting, considered one of the Italian classics on the subject. It is written in ottava rime and dedicated to Fernando de’ Medici. Although very little is known about Poggesi, he was a member of the Florentine Academy, praised by Apostolo Zeno, to whom he might have sent a copy of this work (Zeno received a poem from him 1698). Its existence was unknown to Souhart, but Schwerdt had a copy; no copy appears in auction records. Ceresoli p. 431; Schwerdt II, 73.
Quarto (194 x 137mm). Medici arms on title, type-ornaments, woodcut tailpiece (lacking half-title, minor marks on title). 19th-century vellum, red leather spine label, gilt edges.
