SAULO PHANTINO, Pietro. Trastullo delle donne da far ridere la brigata. [Florence:] Francesco di Iacopo [Cartolaio or Libraio] della Spera, called Il Conte, [before 1519].
4° (206 x 140mm). Collation: a6. In verse. Title with full-page woodcut showing two maidens kneeling before a youth, twelve maidens dancing in a circle behind, the printer's mark incorporated into the design, woodcut printer's mark on verso of final leaf. (Very light soiling.) Maroon morocco by Lortic, spine gilt in six compartments with Essling 'V M' monogram, blue morocco doublures with elaborate gilt roll-tool border and Essling arms, g.e. Provenance: Victor Masséna, Prince d'Essling (1836-1910, binding).
A FINE COPY OF THE ONLY KNOWN WORK BY SAULO, AND THE FIRST USE OF THIS ATTRACTIVE WOODCUT. The cut was re-used in a work by Lorenzo de' Medici, Canzone a ballo, printed in Florence in 1533. It's use there led Kristeller (Early Florentine Woodcuts no. 283) to mistakenly state that the work was printed by Cartolaio, since the woodcut incorporates the printer's armillary sphere device and motto. Cartolaio is known to have been active in Florence only between 1507 and 1519. The poem, written in ottava rima, tells the story of the young poet, Pier Saulo Phantino, and his unhappiness in love. Cf. E. Vaccaro, Le Marche Tipografi... italiani del secolo XVI, Florence: 1983, p. 94, for printer's mark; cf. Brunet V, 148, Graesse VI, p.275, Sander 2486 (for 1492 edition).
