[GALILEI, Galileo (1564-1642)] — CICOGNINI, Jacopo (1577-1631). In Lode del famoso Signor Galileo Galilei. Florence: Batista Landini, 1631.
4º (230 x 168mm). 5ll. Printer's ornament on title.(Title slightly soiled.) Modern patterned boards, uncut.
A PIECE OF ADVANCE PUBLICITY FOR GALILEO'S DIALOGO, published by Giovanni Batista Landini, who was to publish Galileo's important work the following year. Cicognini's stanzas praise Galileo in extravagant terms: he is compared to Vespucci in his revelations of a New World. In his address to the reader Landini writes that the poet had wanted him to include the verses in the Dialogo; however, the requests of 'tanti Signori virtuosi' had persuaded him to issue the verses before publication of the book, so eager were they to read them. VERY RARE. No copy in the BL or BnF. Only two auction sales recorded in on-line ABPC. Not in Cinti.
