DOGE AGOSTINO BARBARIGO (1420-1501). Commissione for Gabriele Barbarigo, in Latin and Italian, illuminated manuscript on vellum, Venice, 1498

A handsome illuminated commissione in a splendid contemporary Venetian sunk panel binding, appointing Gabriele Barbarigo to the post of galley captain for an expedition to Beirut.

252 x 174mm. i + 48 + ii leaves, complete, 27 lines, ruled space: 162 x 95mm, one quarter-page miniature of the Annunciation within a full-page border with cameos, roundels and the coat of arms of Barbarigo (occasional marginal staining, small loss of pigment to background in the miniature). Contemporary unrestored sunk panel binding of chestnut goatskin tooled in gold, panels with silk and gilt paper overlays (scuffed at edges and small loss to spine, lacking silk in one of the compartments).

Provenance: Agostino Barbarigo (1420-1501) was Doge of Venice from 1486 until his death in 1501 – Gabriele Barbarigo (on Barbarigo’s mission to Beirut see ‘L'évolution du capitalisme marchand à Venise : le financement des galere da mercato à la fin du XVe siècle’, Annales, 1995, p.142).
