ACCADEMIA DELLA CRUSCA. Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca. Venice: Giovanni Alberti, 1612.
First edition of the first Italian dictionary. The Academia della Crusca, founded in 1582, was dedicated to the cultivation and purification of the Italian language. The publication of their dictionary in 1612, 21 years after it was begun, contributed enormously towards the fulfilment of these aims. Its methods and principles served as the model for all subsequent dictionaries, including that of Samuel Johnson in 1755 [see lot 316]. PMM 115.
Folio (348 x 230mm). Engraved title vignette, text in double column within double-ruled border, woodcut initials, 2S2 and 2S5 duplicated (marginal waterstaining in a few preliminary leaves, occasional faint spotting and browning). Contemporary Italian vellum, titled in manuscript on spine (rebacked to style, tape marks on pastedowns, edges worn). Provenance: partially erased inscriptions on title, retaining the initials ‘B H’ and ‘B M’ and ‘no. 1869’ – occasional red pencil annotations.
