Soderini, Giovanni Vettorio
TRATTATO DELLA COLTIVAZIONE DELLE VITI, E DEL FUTTO CHE SE NE PUO CAURE. E la Coltiuazione Toscana Dell Viti, e d’Alcuni Arbori del S. Bernardo Davan ZATI BOSTICHI.
Firenze, Per i Giunti, 1610. Quarto (203 x 152 mm). [8], 128, [8]; [4],45, [3] pp. Printer's woodcut device on title-page. Contemporary limp vellum, manuscript title on spine, remnants of ties on front and back covers. Near contemporary ownership inscription (partially marked out) and early nineteenth century ownership inscription on front flyleaf recto. Manuscript notes on recto of rear free endpaper and small (religious?) symbol on titlepage. Occasional light spotting throughout, primarily to margins. Small hole in outer margin of first three leaves, also unaffecting text. Old paper repair to outer edge of title-page, unaffecting text. Overall a very good copy.This second edition of Soderini's Trattato della Coltivazione delle Viti, with Bernardo Davanzati Bostichi's Coltiuazione Toscana Dell Viti, appears to be even rarer than the first edition, printed ten years earlier in 1600; although three U.S. libraries report one copy of the book, no copy has come up for auction in the past three decades. An important Renaissance work on viticulture which was still being published as late as 1851, Soderini's Trattato della Coltivazione delle Viti ("Treatise on the Cultivation of Wine") was the culmination of his lifework, which included various works on agriculture and gardening. Bound with Davanzati Bostichi's Coltiuazione Toscana Dell Viti ("On the Cultivation of Wine in Tuscany"). BM v.23 col 494. BMSTC p. 631 (first edition). Westbury, p. 206.
