DÜRER, Albrecht (1471-1528). Della simmetria dei corpi humani nuovamente tradotti dalla lingua Latina nella Italiana da M. Gio. Paolo Gallucci Salodiano. Venice: Domenico Nicolini, 1591.
2º (318 x 208mm). Niccolini’s device on title and colophon leaf, 4 double-page woodcut diagrams on 3 double-page leaves, 110 full-page diagrams and 39 additional diagrams in the text, woodcut tailpiece, foliated and historiated initials in three sizes. (Small ink hole in title, marginal soiling to title and preliminaries and occasionally elsewhere, staining in margins of final quire.) Modern vellum with yapp edges, red speckled page edges (slightly bowed).
FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST ITALIAN TRANSLATION of Dürer’s Von menschlicher Proportion, first issue with 1591 imprint. Durer’s reliance on a framework of geometry for the delineation of human proportion must have appealed greatly to Gallucci as a mathematician, perhaps more so than it actually did to Michelangelo and other Italian artists. Mortimer notes that the Venice blocks are ‘close copies’ of those used for the first edition of the German text, printed at Nuremberg in 1528. Adams D-1055; BL STC Italian p.228; Brunet II, 914; Cicognara 321; Mortimer Italian 169; Riccardi I, 569.
