INTRODUCTION and SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
When Oxford University Press published Michael Cox‟s Dictionary of writers and
their works in 2001, a gremlin succeeded in translating (as good a word as any) Il
pastor fido into Fido the shepherd. A somewhat fuller transmogrification into Fido
the sheepdog would have been even more rib-tickling but, joking aside, the error is to
a certain extent symptomatic of the bibliographical vicissitudes that have befallen
Guarini‟s masterpiece over the years. Whereas the works of Tasso have received
extensive bibliographical coverage, the only attempt hitherto at a listing of editions of
Guarini, and then only of editions of the Pastor fido, remains that of Vittorio Rossi,
who, in his 1886 monograph, Battista Guarini ed il Pastor fido: studio bibliograficocritico,
listed about 190 editions of the play, including translations and adaptations.
This was an entirely respectable total for the 1880s but the availability of later
resources, and in particular of on-line individual and collective catalogues, means that
the number of editions of the Pastor fido alone published in the period up to Rossi‟s
cut-off date of 1877 can now be increased to about 450, with another 40 or so
published since that date, a thoroughly satisfying progression for a work which was
branded „uninteresting, romantic, and improbable‟ in volume 1 of Robert Watt‟s
Bibliotheca Britannica (1824).
This checklist is a work in progress. It is not, nor was it ever intended to be, a fullscale
bibliography of Guarini. Rather, it is, as its title suggests, a listing of editions of
his works, and not only of the Pastor fido, gleaned from sources old and new, printed
and electronic, and annotated, to a greater or lesser extent, according to the whim of
its compiler. What began as a simple exercise to celebrate the existence, in the
Library of the Taylor Institution in Oxford, of what is very possibly the world‟s
largest collection of editions of Guarini‟s masterpiece, has grown over the years to
encompass also copies of editions of his works found in the Bodleian and in Oxford
college libraries. (With regard to these latter copies, it is essential that personal
application should be made in advance to the librarians concerned by anyone who
wishes to consult any of the editions listed here as being in college libraries.) To
these I have gradually added copies in the British Library and in a limited selection of
other libraries which I happen to have visited. It goes without saying, of course, that,
given that this list contains over 600 entries, there are a very great number of editions
which I have not seen and that the details of them which I give are subject to the
vagaries of my manifold sources.
Vagaries, certainly. It is an unfortunate fact that, when it comes to electronic sources
in particular, one is up against a number of factors which militate against exactitude.
How many catalogue conversions are carried out against the clock and in part by
inexperienced cataloguers? When there is a general dearth of antiquarian cataloguers
and of cataloguers with foreign language skills, is it perhaps not surprising that, in the
course of my researches, I came across some interesting examples of miskeying or
misinterpretation. Thus it was that I found the imprint of the 1661 French translation
„A Paris, chez J. Baptiste Loyson, ruë S. Jacques prés la Poste, à la Croix Royale‟
reduced to „A Paris, Jacque a la Cross Royalle‟. And the 1733 French translation
entitled Nouvelle traduction françoise du Pastor fido catalogued as a work by that

iv
alluring but entirely fictitious (though appropriately named) bluestocking, Françoise
du Pastor Fido. How often in the course of conversion are the original volumes
actually consulted? The British Library‟s copy of the 1628 Neapolitan version of Il
pastor fido is wrongly dated 1828 in the Integrated Catalogue because it was so dated
in the printed catalogue. And what if the catalogue being converted consists of handwritten
entries? This is presumably the reason behind Zaltieri becoming Fabrari and I
particularly like the following entry from the same (Italian) library: „Il Pastor fido …
colle ruine edaltre, opere del medesimo… Edussa prefagione…‟ Ruinous, indeed! I
have managed to avoid some of these „ghost‟ editions by the application of common
sense or by interrogating the libraries concerned when I sensed that a date or some
other detail seemed unlikely but no doubt many others remain and I look forward to
having some of my entries questioned or corrected. One cannot, of course, dismiss
older authorities such as Allacci out of hand but I have allowed myself, while
including some older references, to question their validity. I have not, needless to say,
included in this list works which even the most prestigious libraries have seen fit to
enter up as works of our Guarini. He is not, for example, the author of the Opuscula
published by Luigi Piacente in 1995, nor did he write Della gierarchia or De ordine
docendi ac studendi or Della vera sapienza, and he did not translate the Menaechmi
of Plautus…
I am myself, however, not entirely blameless when it comes to literal exactitude. I
have tried to give titles correctly, while generally shortening them by omitting, for
example, the subtitle „tragicomedia pastorale‟, unless the grammar dictates otherwise,
the author statement („del molto illustre signor cavaliere Battista Guarini‟, „dello
stesso autore‟, etc.) and the privilege statement but I have not attempted any sort of
regular transcription of capitals and so on. I have, for the most part, differentiated i
and j and u and v according to modern usage and I have also regularised imprints, so
that place of publication precedes details of publication/printing, which in turn
precede the date, regardless of the order as found on the titlepage. It is hoped that at
some future date digitised images of title-pages and engravings can be added to this
database and these might even serve to replace some of the descriptions given.
Entries are arranged chronologically, works published in any particular year being
arranged alphabetically (for example, Lettere, Pastor fido, Rime) and numbered.
Within this sequence, editions of the Pastor fido are arranged as follows: Italian texts,
arranged by place of publication and, if necessary, publisher (with the notable
exception of the first (Venice) edition, which logically precedes editions published
with the same date in other Italian cities), followed by bilingual editions, translations
and adaptations, arranged by language, and so on. Cross-references are given thus:
1766/1. Undated editions are, for the most part, gathered in separate sequences which
appear between century divisions, seventeenth-century ones, for example, appearing
between 1600 and 1601, headed 16xx. Where a date is known, with greater rather
than lesser certainty, the edition will appear under that date. A list of undated editions
is given at the very end of the Checklist, with a cross-reference to their place in the
chronological sequence.
Locations and shelfmarks are, generally speaking, self-explanatory. Oxford copies
are listed first, followed by those in the British Library (BL) and the Bibliothèque
Nationale de France (BNF). (For items published since 1900, in general only one,
Oxford location is provided.) A location preceded by an asterisk means that I have

v
not seen the edition/copy myself, though I may have obtained information other than
the bare bones of a catalogue entry from the library itself or from some other library
and I here give my grateful thanks to colleagues far and wide, some of them longsuffering,
who have provided copies and answered my questions. I have resisted the
temptation to multiply locations and references, generally giving, for example, only
one (preferably British) location for editions I have not seen, but I have noted which
editions appear in the FirstSearch database (or in the printed National Union
Catalogue (NUC) if not found therein) and in the database of the Istituto Centrale per
il Catalogo Unico delle Biblioteche Italiane e per le Informazioni Bibliografiche
(abbreviated to ICCU, with the addition of (EDIT16) for those editions found only in
the Censimento nazionale delle edizioni italiane del XVI secolo). I have used the
Catalogue collectif de France and other national databases, such as GVK, the German
Gemeinsamer Verbundkatalog (and its printed predecessor, Gesamtverzeichnis des
deutschsprachigen Schrifttums (GV)), but I list regularly only copies of editions in the
Bibliothèque Nationale de France, including those located in the Bibliothèque de
l‟Arsenal („BNFArsenal‟) or rue de Richelieu („BNFRichelieu‟). The Eighteenth
Century Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) and Eighteenth Century Collections Online
(ECCO) are regularly cited, as are their earlier equivalents (STC and Wing), and the
availability of reproductions, whether as microforms or as online resources, are
likewise mentioned. (Google‟s mass digitization project, which has already digitized
the great majority of the Taylorian‟s older holdings, for example, means that one may
not need to look further than that provider for access to a great many of the copies
listed here but I do not list Google as a source, as this and other such providers are
constantly changing the face of facsimile provision in the field.) Details of other
sources of information, generally printed, which I quote from time to time, will be
found at the end of this introduction in the Select Bibliography, which lists most of
the books and articles which I found useful from a bibliographical point of view.
The presence of some entries, which give details of texts somewhat removed from the
original of Guarini (libretti, for example), may be questioned but I think that they
form an interesting sub-culture to the straightforward (or sometimes not so
straightforward) area of edition and translation and are, in any case, so often found in
catalogues under Guarini‟s name. Such indulgences perhaps led me to curb my
enthusiasm in other fields and I have not gone out of my way to list other than
substantial anthologised selections of Guarini‟s poetry, for example. Hints of what
may be lost by such a decision may be gleaned from articles such as Daniela Dalla
Valle‟s „Un aspetto della fortuna francese del Pastor fido‟ (Studi secenteschi XIV
(1973), 189-230), which deals with the enormous success of one particular scene, or
from the keying in of the search word „Guarini‟ in the ECCO database. I have also
not attempted to list musical settings of his madrigals and other verse which are, in
any case, more than adequately documented elsewhere, in, for example, such volumes
as Guarini, la musica, i musicisti (see Select Bibliography). Letters are a different
matter, as they normally constitute the first appearance of such isolated pieces of
Guariniana, but I have tried not to overegg the pudding.
A word should perhaps be said about the growth of the Taylorian‟s collection of
editions of Guarini. The nucleus of the collection came to Oxford in 1839, some nine
years after the death in September 1830 of Robert Finch, a Balliol man, whose large
and varied general library was bequeathed to the University. For many years, from
the mid-1840s, the books in the Finch Collection were housed in a room in the newly

vi
built Taylor Institution, as indeed was the Hope entomological collection! A printed
catalogue was not published until 1874 but the books had been listed in the
Taylorian‟s first, handwritten catalogue, begun in 1847, and when, in 1921, the Finch
collection was divided among the Taylorian, the Bodleian and the Ashmolean
libraries, all the Guarinis remained in the Taylorian. Finch had collected no fewer
than 33 different editions, ranging from the Opere poetiche of 1601 to a Milan Pastor
fido of 1828. One edition, bearing the bookplate of Finch‟s wife Maria, was held in
duplicate. The majority of these volumes bear the special Finch donation bookplate in
addition to the Taylorian‟s own bookplate. It is, however, not easy to chart accurately
the growth of the Guarini collection in the following years, mainly because, in the
heady days of improved library finances in the 1970s, many of the volumes were
refurbished or rebound and about twenty-five of the original bookplates were not
retained. However, from the majority which did survive with the year of acquisition
pencilled in and to a certain extent from the Library‟s catalogues, it is possible to
build up a general picture of the situation. The Library‟s first printed catalogue
(1861) contains one new edition (1787, listed under Pastorali) but unaccountably
omits five which were in the 1847 catalogue. It also invents a Paris 1797 edition,
dedicated to Joseph Napoleon, which is, in fact, the Rome 1797 edition which actually
precedes it in the catalogue. The Library‟s second handwritten catalogue, in use from
1870 to 1877, uses as its basis pages from the 1861 printed catalogue, cut up and
pasted in, and adds further editions in manuscript. Three bookplates bear the date
1863 and a copy of the 1775 edition was presented by the Revd Dr Wellesley,
Principal of New Inn Hall, before 1870. G.W. Kitchin gave a copy of the 1786 Cazin
edition to the Library in 1874 and it was in this year, as far as one can tell from the
surviving evidence, that Dr Heinrich Krebs, who had been appointed Librarian in
1871 and who was to remain in post for fifty years, began to add systematically to the
collection, the years 1875 to 1877 being particularly fruitful. Some of the more
desirable editions were purchased during this period. A copy of the first edition of the
Pastor fido (1590) and of the Rime (1598) were acquired in 1875, as was Bodoni‟s
quarto Pastor fido of 1793, while the great four-volume edition of Guarini‟s works,
published in Verona by Tumermani in 1737-38, followed in 1876. A considerable
number of editions, including the first edition of the Lettere, were acquired in 1877,
which, judging from the proportion of surviving bookplates bearing this date, was
possibly the Taylorian‟s annus mirabilis for Guarini accessions. The year 1881 saw
the arrival of two French translations, the Paris 1664-66 edition of De Torche‟s
translation and the Paris 1595 edition of the translation of Roland Brisset. In an
article in The Academy in January 1882, Dr Krebs reported that the latter edition
predated by three years what was masquerading as the first edition of Brisset‟s
translation in the 1878 supplement to Brunet‟s Manuel du libraire. He also pencilled
in, in the lower margin of the Library‟s copy of the Manuel, the following words:
„Non: la 1e trad. franç. est de l‟an 1595.‟ He was wrong, of course, as Brisset‟s
translation was in fact first published in 1593, but, writing from the Taylorian, Krebs
adds a paragraph which gives us an invaluable snapshot of the collection as it existed
in 1882, noting as he does that „the Curators of the above library, with due regard to
the considerable collection bequeathed to the university by Robert Finch, and
deposited in the Taylor Institution, have now brought together, as a speciality, not less
than 126 different editions and versions in various languages of this celebrated
pastoral.‟ Strangely this article seems to have marked almost the end of Krebs‟s
interest in Guarini, for very few older editions of the works were added during the
remaining forty years of his remarkable tenure or indeed in the years that followed

vii
and it would be another century before collecting began again in earnest. A few
editions came into the Library in the 1950s and, when I joined the Library staff in
1971, I was encouraged by the then Librarian, Giles Barber, who had taken up his
position the previous year, to scour incoming catalogues of antiquarian and secondhand
books for more, a practice which he himself pursued assiduously. (The arrival
of such on-line databases as Maremagnum has made the task so much easier.) In the
70s in particular it was sometimes a race between the Taylorian and the University of
Birmingham Library to see who could telephone the bookseller first, for the then
Professor of Italian, Humphrey Whitfield, was on the lookout for editions to add to
Birmingham‟s collection. We did not always win, even when the bookseller was
based in Oxford! Since 1971 the Library has acquired about 80 editions published
before 1900 and I am pleased to say that, since my retirement in 2004, it has, with my
(disinterested) encouragement, continued to add to what is, by any standards, a
remarkable collection.
I never actually met Professor Whitfield, though I did once travel in the same lift as
him in the University Library in Birmingham. We began to correspond in the summer
of 1976 after Birmingham had reported missing one particular edition about which I
had made enquiries. As it happened, Professor Whitfield had a copy and he kindly
lent it to the Library to photograph pages which were missing from the Taylorian‟s
copy. (In fact, appearances were deceptive and it turned out to be another edition
bearing the same date but that is another story.) In June he sent me details of editions
in his possession and warned me that if I was thinking of doing a full bibliography of
the Pastor fido I would find it „a large undertaking‟. (Some understatement!) A
month later I reported to him that a rough calculation showed that there were in
existence about 350 editions, which Humphrey acknowledged to be „a staggering
total‟, saying that, if we had begun corresponding earlier, he might have been even
harsher on Rossi in the introduction to his forthcoming parallel text edition of the
Pastor fido and of Sir Richard Fanshawe‟s translation for underestimating the number
of editions published. We exchanged letters again in the following December,
following the appearance of his edition, but then there was a long period of
comparative silence, broken only in January 1983 („I hope … that the obstacles which
held you back are done with‟) and again in February 1987, when he wrote: „I was
hoping to see, before I die, the fruits of your investigation into the Pastor fido. (Or
are you just a pastor infido?)‟ A mention of the Taylorian‟s Guarini collection in an
article by Giles Barber in Oxford Today in October 1992 brought a swift response
from Humphrey. „We have quite a few editions, between the University Library &
myself, here in Birmingham, and a long time ago I used to exchange information with
David Thomas, who was then proposing the first real bibliography of the Pastor Fido.
For some reason, which he knows and I do not, he went off the boil. … I‟m getting
rather old now but I shd have liked to see it and its quite staggering total of editions
before I die off. Have you any helpful ideas?‟ Giles replied: „I was particularly glad
to have your comments on the Pastor fido and at once urged David to complete his
work. … We must keep the pressure up.‟ Giles, who was then President of the
Oxford Bibliographical Society, was thinking that perhaps my list might form one of
the Society‟s Occasional Publications, a proposal which in fact eventually came to
naught, but I was, in any case, under no illusion as to the amount of work to be done
on it and modestly complained as much in my end-of-year report to him. Already in
1989 Humphrey had wondered if he should send me his „reflections on Death since I
am driven to think that either one or tother of us will die before you come to the boil

viii
with your master-list of the P.F. bibliografia. Have you now any other excuses for
delay?‟ And on a card written in September 1991, following the publication of a
letter of mine about the Library‟s founder, Sir Robert Taylor, in The Times, he had
returned to the attack: „I‟m glad to see you springing to the defence of Sir Robert
Taylor. And what excuse have you for not rescuing Guarini (he of the Pastor fido)
from oblivion? Many years ago you had his bibliography nearing completion. Now
you must be reaching the end of your shelf-life and still he languishes in the
cupboard?‟ A further card in October 1992 followed his letter to Giles and informed
me that „as you will have found, I have now stirred up interest in your activities as
Guarini bibliographer, & - being arrived at the age of 86, am venturing to hope that I
might see the fruit on your apple-tree before I take off for Parnassus.‟ In February
1993 he was urging me to „Speed the plough!‟ and in November he wrote on one of
his occasional pieces, The Englishness of Canaletto: „I‟d still like to see your P.F.
bibl. before I die.‟ Twelve months later, in November 1994, the post brought the
following message, written on a photocopy of the cover of another of his occasional
pieces, Alberti, Leopardi and the Modus Moriendi: „I shd be obliged if you wd
accelerate your bibliography of the P.f. in view of this moriendi stuff. I can‟t hang
around much longer.‟ Shortly after this I did at last send off a copy of the first draft of
the checklist, the receipt of which he acknowledged when, on the 28 th of December
1994, he sent me New Year greetings, confessing: „I have only looked v. cursorily at
your welcome monument.‟ He continued, however, in his typically acerbic manner:
„My only contribution at present is negative: it was a Fool who told you that B‟ham
had a 1768 Pavini. It is MDCCLXVIIII (1769). H.‟ (I had in fact queried this but
had not yet checked up on it.) This was the last time I heard from him. On the 9 th of
February 1995 his wife died and, eleven days later, he followed her to the grave. But
at least I had the satisfaction of knowing that, even though he had looked at my list
„only v. cursorily‟, I was not, at least not totally, the „pastor infido‟ which, already in
1987, he had begun to think I was becoming. I trust that, from his celestial chair on
Parnassus, he will look kindly on the imperfections of this list, which I dedicate to his
memory.

The volume, edited by Guarini („Il Costante‟) as Secretary of the Academy and
dedicated to Marguerite de Valois, was printed in Venice by Comin da Trino (Rhodes,
Studies, p. 266), an attribution confirmed by Magliani, who tracked down the licenza,
which is dated 20 April 1567 (see 1995/1, pp. 6-7). The dedication to Marguerite is
dated 1 January 1567. The volume includes 37 of Guarini‟s own compositions, 35
sonnets, 1 madrigal, and a long poem composed of 56 stanze (ff. 10-28). It was
reprinted in 1588 (see 1588/1). A reproduction of the title-page appears in Torquato
Tasso, Rime „eteree‟, a cura di Lanfranco Caretti (Parma, Edizioni Zara, 1990) and on

The second part, which has its own title-page (same imprint), pagination and
signatures, is entitled Delle lettere ... parte seconda, and is often found with earlier
editions of the first part. It contains 37 letters, 36 of them by Guarini, 3 sonnets, 2
dialogues and 1 speech. The third part, which also has its own title-page, pagination
and signatures, is entitled Parere sopra la causa del priorato del signor cavaliere
Roberto Papafava and has the imprint In Verona, appresso Girolamo Discepolo ad
instantia di Gioan Battista Ciotti senese libraro in Venetia, 1586. In his preface to the
„parte seconda‟, Ciotti explains that „Il Parere, che prima doveva essere, è stato
l‟ultimo che mi sia capitato, & vi si dà, secondo, che l‟ho potuto havere, stampato
altrove‟ (sig. a2vº). He therefore, apparently, employed old stock and used the final
blank leaf to print a recent letter, dated 10 July 1596, signing it M and paging it 89-90,
i.e. of the „parte seconda‟ of the Lettere, in which position it is normally found. For
the Parere, see also 1586/1 and the article by Avellini.

Brisset‟s translation (see 1593/3). Baudrier, relying on information supplied by the
then Librarian of the Bibliothèque municipale in Reims, Eugène Courmeau, gives the
publisher‟s name as Michel Begon but more than half the surname and part of the date
are in fact obscured by two very black library stamps, so it is impossible to read the
details with any certainty. The name Begon, however, is too short for the
typographical balance of the imprint. This is the only work attributed by Baudrier to
Begon and we could perhaps hazard a guess that the publisher may in fact be Michel
Beublin, who was active in Lyon in the second half of the 1590s (see Baudrier I 44-
45). A careful examination of the date, bearing in mind the the spacing required for
typographical balance, shows that, while it is almost certainly 1596 („M.D.XCVI.‟), it
is definitely not 1599, as reported to Baudrier.

The title-page is engraved and there are 5 signed and numbered engraved illustrations
in the text. Possibly the first illustrated edition of the text published in Italy. The
engravings by Paulino (this more normal spelling is used, when not abbreviated, on
the plates) ante-date the entry in Bénézit (VI, 554) by five years. The costumes of the
characters depicted and the general style and composition of the illustrations
anticipate the engravings and woodcuts used in editions of the Pastor fido well into
the 17 th century and are, indeed, strikingly similar to the rather more well-known and,
it has to be said, more accomplished engravings found in the quarto editions of 1602
(see 1602/4-6), etc.

Rossi, and Arbour 2565, both quoting Brunet II 572, where it was thought that this
might have been the first edition of the French translation. Possibly an error for 1595,
though a Mettayer edition dated 1598 is recorded in the Catalogue des livres de la
bibliothèque de M. Favart (Paris, Librairie Tross, 1864), p. 116 (no. 1510). This, too,
is referred to by Arbour but he does not provide any independent evidence of a 1598
edition published by Mettayer. In addition Arbour‟s foliation/pagination statement
(VIf. – 141p. – IIf.) must be faulty and would seem to based on the edition published
by Mettayer‟s brother-in-law Marc Orry in the same year (see next entry), which,
however, he does not list. Neither Brunet nor the Favart catalogue provide details of
the pagination/foliation.

First edition, dedicated to Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini. The title-page, which is
engraved, is reproduced in 1950/1 and in 1971/1. Ciotti‟s dedication to the Cardinal
is dated 28 May 1598 and is followed by a poem to him by Guarini and an address A
benigni lettori by the printer. The text is followed by two indexes and (f. (140)r°) by

Before this collected edition, a large number of Guarini‟s poems had been published
in a variety of publications, beginning with the Rime de gli Academici Eterei, which
contained 37 (see 1567/1). Later anthologies, which included the largest number of
his verses, have been listed here; see 1587/4, 1590/6, 1592/4, 1593/3 and 4, and

The imprimatur is signed „I. de Ang. Archiep. Urb. Vicesg.‟, which dates the edition
to the years 1660-1667, when Jacobo de Angelis was Archbishop of Urbino (BNF
catalogue on-line, quoting Conrad Eubel‟s Hierarchia catholica medii aevi IV 353).
With engraved title and 6 plates for the Pastor fido and 5 plates for Tasso‟s Aminta,
which, with his Amore fuggitivo, occupies the second part. The third part consists of
Guarini‟s Rime. The composition of the copies examined is complex. The setting of
the Aminta, for example, differs in the two Oxford copies. There are a few small
differences in sig. C and the whole of sig. D (pp. 73-84) exists in a different setting in
each copy, the ornament on the final page being different in each case: in Bodley‟s
copy the ornament is a design featuring leaves and a flower emerging from a circlet,
which is present also on p. 138 of the Pastor fido, while in the Taylorian copy it is a
single rose-type flower, with two berries pointing upwards. In the first BL copy the
Aminta does not follow exclusively either the pattern of the Bodleian or of the
Taylorian copy. The Rime are the same as in the Taylorian copy except for the last
two leaves of the Tavola (sig. G1-2), which are in a different setting, with the final
ornament being a basket of fruit. The second BL copy, for its part, lacks the Aminta,
while the Rime are of the same setting as the Bodleian copy except for the final two
leaves of the Tavola, which are in yet another setting, with the final ornament being
the same rose-type flower as in the Taylorian copy but printed the other way up, with
the two berries hanging down.

The authorisation for printing (printed on verso of title-page) is dated 4 May 1601. In

the *BNFRichelieu copy.) This I shall call Type A. A reprint of the text of the

lettori and here p. 64 begins „mai, di maniera‟ (Type B). This version is found with
one or other of the 4° editions of the Pastor fido of 1602, sometimes with a title-page
dated 1601 (see, for example, 1602/4 and 1602/6) but more frequently with a titlepage

The definitive version of the Pastor fido, with Guarini‟s own annotations, this edition
has an engraved portrait of the author by Lukas Kilian (1579-1637). The title-page is
partly engraved and there are 6 full-page engravings by Francesco Val[l]egio or
Valesio, only one of which, however, that to Act II, is actually signed. It has been
argued that the costumes and scenery depicted were based on the staging of Giovanni
Battista Aleotti, detto „l‟Argenta‟, for the 1598 production of the play at the court of
Mantua. See Adriano Cavicchi, „La scenografia dell‟Aminta nella tradizione
scenografica pastorale ferrarese del sec. XVI‟, in Studi sul teatro Veneto fra
Rinascimento ed età barocca, a cura di Maria Teresa Muraro (Firenze, Leo S.
Olschki, 1971), 53-72, especially pp. 63-68. But see also Lisa Sampson‟s article „The
Mantuan performance of Guarini‟s Pastor fido and representations of courtly
identity‟, Modern Language Review 98/1 (January 2003), 65-83, especially p. 80 and
n. 53. The BL copy, on large and thick paper, was a presentation copy to the Doge of
Venice, Marin Grimani.
The pagination of the volume is somewhat erratic, running 1-52, 55-63, 62-63, 66-78,
77-124, 124-126, 128-488, with a large number of individual errors which do not
affect the general sequence. The pagination in the BL copy runs somewhat
differently, however: 1-52, 55-63, 62-63, 66-78, 77-136, 139-140, 139, 142-143, 142,
145-193, 196, 193, 196-488. Unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying
Compendio in the copies examined is Type A of 1602, as identified above.
In Act II, scene ii, at the bottom of p. 96, there is a printed slip bearing the words of a
missing line of text („E tal‟hor non ti bacia. Sil. nè mi bacia,‟) pasted in over the
catchword „E talhor‟. This correction will be repeated in the paginated „XXVII.
impressione‟ (see next entry) but the error will be rectified in the foliated version of
the „XXVII. impressione‟ (see 1602/6), in which the line is set as part of the text and
appears at the top of f. 65.
The reason for this edition being designated as Ciotti‟s „XX. impressione‟ is unclear
and the designation of the following editions as „XXVII. impressione‟ even more so.
Was it simply a publisher‟s ploy? The popularity of the 4° editions of 1602 may have
demanded extra printings but perhaps not as many as Ciotti seems to claim. And why
was the 1625 edition (1625/1) also dubbed „XXVII. impressione‟, when Ciotti had
already issued a „xxx impressione‟ in 1606 (1606/5) and again in 1609 (1609/3)?

been suggested that this edition therefore dates from that year. It is a 1603 edition
which accompanies the other copies listed. It should be noted that the BL copy of the
Pastor fido is a very peculiar mixture of the foliated and the paginated editions,
mainly in fact the latter, made up as follows: ff. (1)-16, pp. 1-66 (or rather, as is
normal, 1-52, 55-63, 62-63, 66), ff. 49-88, pp. 145-488. There are, in addition, two
copies of the portrait, an extra proof, if it were needed, that this copy was made up
from two separate editions. The plates of this bastard copy are, in addition, somewhat
crudely coloured by hand. As noted above (see 1602/4), the line omitted in the other
4º editions of 1602 has been restored.

Entered in the Stationers‟ Register on 16 September 1601. First English translation,
in verse, dedicated by Waterson to Sir Edward Dymoke. Long attributed to Sir John
Dymoke, this anonymous translation has recently been ascribed, with more
conviction, to Sir Edward‟s younger brother, Tailboys (see 1993/1). The Prologo and
the Argomento are not translated and there are two prefatory sonnet, one by Samuel
Daniel and one by the translator.

*Paris, Bibliothèque Mazarine: 8º 44886 („la date est douteuse‟).
In theory a new edition of 1610/4, the date on the engraved title-page being clumsily
altered from 1610. But if the date was intended to be 1612, there would have been no
need to alter the second „1‟ and it is the ambiguity of the alteration which has given
rise to the date being read as both 1612 and 1622. Listed by Whitfield and by Michel
(„la date est douteuse; certains lisent: 1622‟) but disputed by Strauch Ngatoum, who
points out that Matthieu [I] Guillemot died in 1610; she assigns it rather to Matthieu
[II] Guillemot with the date 1622 (see 1622/2). The Mazarine‟s on-line catalogue is
itself muddled, adding, in a confused echo of Michel, but non-sensically, „certains

This 3-act adaptation by Antonio Solís de Rivadeneira (1610-86), Antonio Coello
(1611-52) and Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600-81) is the sixth of twelve comedias
in the volume and occupies ff. 106-133. Of the preliminary pieces the earliest, an
aprovación, is dated 16 October 1656 and the latest, the suma de la tassa, is dated 1
February 1657. There is also a short list of errata. The play will be reprinted in 1751,
1850, etc. (Reichenberger 1595 records also an edition without a colophon.)
Calderón will later write an auto sacramental entitled El pastor Fido, which is too far
removed from Guarini to figure in this list. (See Reichenberger 2359 et seqq.) It was
edited for the first time by Fernando Plata Parga (Pamplona, Universidad de Navarra;
Kassel, Edition Reichenberger, 2003).

adds a madrigal which he dedicates to Guarini. The translation ends on p. 421, the
remaining 11 unnumbered pages, „ces cinq feuilléts qui fussent demürés en blanc‟,
being occupied by 11 poems of Guarini and his contemporaries and by a list of errata.
The engraved titlepage and 6 plates are by Georg Christoph Eimmart (1638-1704).

42 vignettes by Melchior Küsell, engraved and numbered, with accompanying
German verses. The volume is described by Beare, pp. 635-637. Allacci described
the work as being „in lingua, ed in versi Tedeschi, tradotto da Gio. Guglielmo Baur,
ed illustrato con figure da Melchiorre Kusell‟ and Rossi also listed it as a translation
by Baur. In addition, Rossi invented an „Augusta‟ 1671 edition of a Greek translation
by misreading Graesse, who wrote, following details of the 1658 Summaco
translation, among others: „On y joint 42 pl. grav. par M. Kysell. Augsb. 1671, in-8º‟.

According to Bérard (p. 231) there are „deux editions du Pastor fido sous la même
date de 1678 entre lesquelles je n‟ai remarqué aucune différence sensible‟, while
Rahir 1678 and 1679 (also 3456) show that the plates may be numbered or
unnumbered. In all the copies I have seen the frontispiece and the plates are
numbered 1 to 7. There are, however, two distinct patterns discernible when it comes
to the spacing and alignment of catchwords and page numbers, which may be what
Bérard had in mind, the following errors and corrections being the simplest way to
differentiate between the two issues: the catchword on p. 17 can be „Sa‟ or „Se‟ and
on p. 119 „O` qua‟ or „O` qual‟. The blank leaf following p. 134 is not present in all
the copies examined.

BL: 11517.a.27(5). *BNF: Z.34417.
First, unauthorised, edition of the verse translation made in the early 1650s by
Christian Hofmann von Hofmannswaldau (1617-1679), added, in the copy examined,
to his Sinnreichen Heldenbriefe, auch andere herrliche Gedichte of 1680 to give a
collected edition (see Beare, p. 645). The preface (Vorrede) is found only in the two
editions which have the title and the pagination as described in the entry above and
with the date 1678. The printer would appear to have been Christian Weidmann of
Leipzig (Beare, p. 637). Pp. 177-180 are wrongly numbered 167-170.
There are two distinct title-pages bearing the date 1678; both are reproduced by
Möller, „Die Fingerabdruck-Methode‟, p, 39. In this first edition, with Möller‟s
Titelblatt 1678-A, the „B‟ of „BAPTISTÆ‟ is set squarely over the „A‟ of „PASTOR‟
and the work ends with an ornament representing a simple basket of flowers. The
patterns of ornaments which precede the Vorrede and Act I are also reproduced by
Möller, p. 48. In the later edition (Möller‟s 1678-B) the title-page and text have been
reset. The wording of the title is exactly the same but the spacing is different; it can
be seen, for example, that the „B‟ of „BAPTISTÆ‟ is now set slightly to the right of
the „A‟ of „PASTOR‟ and, of course, the whole text having been reset, the patterns of
ornaments preceding the Vorrede and Act I are different (Möller, p. 49). The second
edition was dated by Beare (p. 638) to 1680, a date which is tentatively accepted by
Möller, but Beare produced no evidence to back his claim, merely that it was attached
to the 1680 Sinnreichen Heldenbriefe. (It should be noted that his transcription of the
title-page is incorrect in a number of places.) Beare realised that the two editions
could be differentiated in part by the fact that the later one, rather than ending in an
ornament representing a simple basket of flowers, ended in a more elaborate ornament
incorporating two birds. However, Möller has shown that the later edition can end in
either (he calls them 1678-B and 1678-B‟), the *Weimar copy (14,4:74 d) bearing the
former and the *Wrocław copy (301998e) the latter (p. 50). We could also note that,
if the evidence of the copies used for the Bibliothek der deutschen Literatur (fiche
19552) and for the 1993 reprint in the second part of Hofmannswaldau‟s Gesammelte
Werke (see 1993/2) is taken into account, the two title-pages would seem to have been
used indiscriminately. Möller (p. 62, n. 36) says of the reprint simply that it is
misleading („irrefürend‟); indeed, it appears to have the text and ornaments of 1678-A
but the title of 1678-B. In the BDL version the reverse is the case. The situation is
obviously somewhat fluid. Perhaps the two editions were more contemporaneous
than either Beare or Möller cared to admit, perhaps both indeed dating from 1678.

The complications inherent in the bibliographical description of editions of Hoffmann
von Hoffmannswaldau‟s Deutsche Übersetzungen und Gedichte, which are made up
of a bewildering variety of separate parts in different printings and of which the
translation of the Pastor fido, in a slightly modified version, will, from 1679, form an
integral part, are well documented by Beare and by Heiduk, though against 12
editions of the collection published up to 1730 Dünnhaupt inexplicably lists only 6
editions of the Getreue Schäfer, ignoring some of what his predecessors had to say on
the subject.. He does not, for example, list any copies of a 1679 edition with
„Gedichte‟ in the title, listing only copies with „Getichte‟ and giving „Gedichte‟ as a
possibility only from 1704. (It is true that Beare, somewhat disarmingly, does not
attach any great significance to the alternative spelling but this is too simplistic.) Nor
does Dünnhaupt list any copies of the Getreue Schäfer after 1710. He does, however,
distinguish between two distinct title-pages of 1679 with „Getichte‟, one with a
pattern of type ornaments before the imprint, the other, later, one with a woodcut
ornament. As a further complication the Imperial privilege, granted at the end of
1679, may be present, printed on one or on two leaves or as a double-page spread
tipped in, as may the Saxon privilege, granted in 1681. Copies of the Getreue Schäfer
were printed with and without the vignettes (again somewhat surprisingly Dünnhaupt
does not list an edition without vignettes before 1689) and in some later copies, still
with the date 1679, five full-page plates, one for each Act, were added. It is obvious,
therefore, that these and other complications make a definitive description of all the
likely variations impossible within the constraints of this list and, generally, I shall
comment in detail only on those editions of the Deutsche Übersetzungen und
Gedichte that I have seen. Further details may be gleaned from Beare‟s and from
Heiduk‟s articles and from Dunnhaupt‟s bibliography. The most recent and most
documented pronouncement on the problem, that of Klaus-Peter Möller in his article
on „Die Fingerabdruckmethode‟, uses reproductions of patterns of ornaments to
separate out the various printings of the text but I have not included these intermediate
printings in my list. It is possible that some of the remaining conundrums were

88
resolved in Möller‟s ill-fated Potsdam thesis of 1995 (Der getreue Schäfer: ein
Beitrag zur Hoffmannswaldau-Bibliographie).
In the Taylorian copy of the 1679 edition, the general title-page has „Gedichte‟ and a
pattern of ornaments before the imprint. Here Der getreue Schäfer is bound with Der
sterbende Socrates (pp. 151), one of the normal constituent parts of the collected
edition which were offered for sale separately. Both parts have section titles and the
volume has a double-page engraving, often, as here, used as a frontispiece for the
whole volume, by Joachim von Sandrart, the central medallion bearing the legend Der
getreue Schäffer. C.H.V.H. This is the earliest state of the engraving, not recorded by
Heiduk or Dünnhaupt though attested by Beare, as the medallion bears no reference to
the Imperial privilege. After its granting the abbreviations „c. GRAT. & PRIV.:
SCM‟ were added to the medallion, while later still the Saxon privilege was added at
the bottom of the plate, though the general title-page still bore the date 1679. There is
one further, emblematic plate, which should perhaps be considered the true
frontispiece of the volume, and 41 of the 42 Baur-Küsell vignettes, numbered 2-42
and first published in 1671, illustrate the text, which is preceded by a new general
preface entitled An der geneigten Leser. The Prologo is not translated, an omission
which will not be rectified until 1684.
It is probable that the Taylorian‟s copy represents the earliest issue of these parts of
the Deutsche Übersetzungen und Gedichte. A comparison of the prelims with those
of the facsimile reprint of a 1679 Deutsche Übersetzungen und Getichte (with a „t‟)
used by Franz Heiduk for his 1984 edition (see 1984/1) show that in the latter, apart
from the title-page, the last two leaves of the prelims, i.e. sig. )( )( )(, are reset and
that there are textual differences not only in the second of these leaves, giving the list
of Personen, but also, and more importantly, in the first, which contains the end of the
preface itself. As the text of the reprint is closer to that of later editions that I have
seen (in, for example, the 1700 and 1707 editions), it seems reasonable to infer that
the edition with „Getichte‟ is in fact later than that with „Gedichte‟ described above.

Early 18 th century, with engraved title and 6 plates by Antonio Luciani, based on
those of Le Clerc. The setting of the text is identical to that of Jolly‟s Paris edition of
1706, though Hertz‟s edition must be the earlier, as the engraved title was altered for
Jolly‟s edition (see 1706/1 for arguments relating to the titlepage). Giovanni Gabriel
Hertz seems to have begun publishing around 1701 and in 1705 he brought out an
edition of Tasso‟s Aminta. An identical or very similar date would certainly give
added credence to the reading of the date of Jolly‟s edition as 1706. Around the same
time Hertz also published an undated edition of that other popular pastoral,
Bonarelli‟s Filli di Sciro, which is given the date [1703] by ICCU.

Edited, with an introduction, by Paolo Antonio Rolli and dedicated „All‟Eccellenza di
My Lord Riccardo Conte di Burlington, &c.‟ (i.e. Richard Boyle, 3 rd Earl of
Burlington). In his dedication Rolli refers to his edition as „la nobil‟ Edizione de
questa Tragicomedia‟ and calls it „veramente magnifica e corretta‟. The pagination
actually runs 1-296, 295-401. The Pastor fido ends on p. 389, the rest of the volume
being occupied by Rime scelte (5 sonnets and 10 madrigals), which have their own
divisional title. With an engraved frontispiece by Nicolas Chasteau after Giuseppe
Grisoni (Pierre-Joseph Grison), a portrait of Guarini and 6 plates by Vincenzo
Franceschini after Pietro Leone Ghezzi, and, at the end of the volume, a plate by
Bernard Baron after Grisoni, which will later be used as the frontispiece of Rolli‟s
1725 edition of Boccaccio‟s Decameron. There are, in addition, on the title-page,
throughout the text and on the section-title of the Rime scelte, a total of 18 engraved
vignettes, mostly by Chasteau. Virtually all the engravings will be used again in
1735/1, 1736/2, 1737/1 and, to a lesser extent, in Alberto Tumermani‟s great 4-
volume edition of Guarini‟s works of 1737-38. In a prospectus for the latter,
Tumermani (or Timermani as he calls himself therein) refers to what would seem to
be Rolli‟s edition as the „Edizione dell‟Alamanni fatte dal Comino da Padoa 1718‟.
The prelims include a Vita dell‟autore e ragionamento sull‟opera, a short list of
errata, and a list of subscribers, one of whom is the Countess of Burlington.

*Liverpool, University Library: SPEC J8.2.
The title-page vignette of two actors wrestling is by Francesco Zucchi and is based on
a drawing by Tiepolo of a fragmentary Greek marble bas-relief in the collection of the
Marchese Maffei. The lower limbs of the figure on the right and the extension of the
plinth on which the two figures stand are absent, as is the right-hand figure‟s left foot.
Although they have their own title-page, pagination and signatures, printings of the
text having the above imprint and pagination and the vignette as described above
almost invariably accompany an edition of the Pastor fido (see below, 1735/1, 1736/2
amd 1737/1, where they are listed, the final unnumbered page, indeed, having a list of
errata for both the Pastor fido and the Idropica. The copy in Liverpool was formerly
in the possession of Richard Warner, who bequeathed his library to Wadham College,

114
Oxford in 1775, and, bearing his signature and the date of acquisition (1737), is a rare
instance of the text being found in isolation. The vignette was later redrawn with the
missing parts restored in outline. In this form it appears on the title-page of that
printing of the Idropica which forms the second part of the second volume of
Timermani‟s edition of Guarini‟s Opere (see 1737/4.2) and which is paged XII, 394.

(lacking the Burlington portrait and pp. 133-134). BL: 11715.f.58 (lacking
frontispiece and all the plates).
Edited by Antonio Rolli and dedicated „All‟Eccellenza di Dorotea Savile Contessa di
Burlington‟. The first part is a line-by-line reprint, with the same pagination error (i.e.
numbering the pages (1)-296, 295-401) of Rolli‟s 1718 edition (1718/1), which had
been dedicated to the Countess‟s husband, the 3 rd Earl of Burlington. The
frontispiece, the portrait of Guarini, the 6 plates illustrating the Pastor fido and the
majority of the vignettes are used as in the original edition, though where the names
of the artists and engravers fall below the frame of the illustrations themselves they
are omitted, as is the final plate, which was not illustrative of the text. Rolli‟s
dedication refers to the earlier „bella Edizione‟ and calls the new edition „ancor più
vaga della prima, si per accresciuti Ornamenti, e si per la dilettevola compagnia d‟una
perfetta Commedia dello stesso Autore, con alcune mie forsevi necessarie Note.‟ The
portrait of the Countess of Burlington is by Francesco Zucchi after William Kent.
The Pastor fido occupies the first 389 pages, the rest of the first part being occupied
as before by Rime scelte. The second part consists of a printing of the „perfetta
Commedia‟, La idropica, which has its own title-page (with the imprint In Verona,
per Giovanni Tumermani librajo, MDCCXXXIV), pagination and signatures. The
vignette on the title-page of the Idropica is after a design by Tiepolo and the final
unnumbered page has a list of errata for both parts. For further details see 1734/1.
As stated, Tay‟s copy lacks pp. 133-134 of the first part. It is perhaps significant that
the catchword on p. 132 of this copy is „Girare‟, when it should have been „La‟.

After publishing a revised version of Fanshawe‟s English translation in 1735 (see

around 1736: this dated edition of the Italian text, an undated one, two parallel text
editions (one dated and one undated) employing the revised translation, and a dated
edition of the English text alone. It seems sensible to group these five editions

Edited by Giovanni Barotti and Apostolo Zeno and dedicated to the Marquese Ercole
Bevilacqua and to eight other worthies of the city of Ferrara, this is the most complete
edition of the works of Guarini and of „le molte Critiche e Apologie intorno al celebre
Pastorfido composte‟ ever published. Four volumes were originally projected, then
eight, but in spite of the growing list of subscribers, the gradual lowering of the price
and the publisher‟s increasingly desperate exhortations to the „Signori Associati‟, the
project finally ran out of steam and only four volumes were published. Nevertheless,
with its „particolare splendidezza di carta, di caratteri, e rami‟, it has, as its publisher
intended, „tutte quelle grazie e beltà che mai edizione alcuna possa avere‟.
Vol. 1 of most of the sets examined contains, at the end, a 4-page prospectus
(„manifesto‟) from which these last words are taken. Here, „Alberto Timermani
Stampatore in Verona‟ addresses „tutti gli Amatori delle buone Lettere e
singolarmente della Toscana Poesia‟, giving, on the first page, details of the contents
of his new edition, the type to be used, the price of subscription and so on, and, on the
remaining three pages, a „Spiegazione ed Allegoria de‟ Rami posti nella Pastorale con
li nomi de‟ Signori Disegnatori e Intagliatori‟, being full details of the plates and other
engravings used in the first volume, fuller indeed than those given in the body of the
volume itself. (A fuller list is, however, given in the second volume of the engravings
which appear therein.) The addition of these „molti e bellissimi rami‟ was intended to
give „un lustro e ornamento a quest‟ opere non solo di Poesia ma di Pittura‟. As in
1735/1 only the portrait of Guarini and the plate for Act V of the Pastor fido retain the
names of their creators, though, as befits this deluxe edition, all the full-page plate in
vol. 1 are printed within elaborate engraved frames designed by Bernard Picart.
These frames, which, according to Tumermani, „alludono alle cose amorose e
Poetiche‟, were executed by Francesco Zucchi and include flowers or foliage or
musical instruments or a pierced heart. They appear to be used indiscriminately. The
great majority of the smaller engravings used throughout the edition, mainly in the
first volume and increasingly sparingly in the others, are also by Zucchi, based on
designs by a dozen or so artists but principally by Bernard Picart and Francesco
Zugni, while about half a dozen of Chasteau‟s engravings, familiar from the earlier
London and Verona editions, put in an appearance.
The frontispiece of vol. 2 is by Zucchi after Gianbettino Zignaroli (or Cignaroli),
while that to vol. 3 is by Antionio Balestra, who designed the allegorical figure of

122
Verona holding a copy of the Pastor fido which appears on the title-page of each
volume. Both these frontispieces are again printed within elaborate frames. The
portrait of Guarini, which, according to the prospectus, was destined for vol. 1, is not
in fact listed in that volume and is sometimes used as a frontispiece in vol. 4.
The first volume, containing the Pastor fido and the Annotazioni, was, after the
closure of the initial subscription, to be available separately („Chi volesse poi il Pastor
fido solo, lo avrà sborsando lire Trentasei‟, the cost of two volumes by subscription),
which is perhaps why it is sometimes found alone. (Alternatively, Tumermani could
have been referring to the issue described in 1737/3). The Taylorian‟s second copy,
which has a Veronese provenance (a round stamp on the titlepage reads „DOM.
PROF. CC. RR. MIN. INFIR .VERONA‟), lacks the portrait of Guarini and also lacks
the engraved vignettes on pp. 340 and (341). Indeed, these two pages and the
preceding one (sigg. XX2-3) are in a different setting from the normal one. The
volume perhaps represents an early, maybe even involuntary, issue, for in his
prospectus Tumermani bemoans the fact that „il primo Tomo, e tutto il secondo sono
già stampati, come si può vedere, a riserva di pochi Rami. E appunto i Rami e i
Disegni sono stati la cagione, che non si è ancor dato fuori lo stampato fin quì, benchè
sia piu di un‟ anno, che la stampa del Pastor fido è finita e l‟Idropica ancora; dovendo
in ciò come si sa dipendere dal comodo degli Dissegnatori e Incisori‟. Another
variation is the frame which surrounds the frontispiece and the plates, being here a
design of scrolls and foliage which otherwise is almost exclusively found with the
Balestra/Zucchi frontispiece in vol. 3. In all the copies of vol. 1 examined, D4 (pp.
23-24) and E3 (pp. 29-30) are cancels. The original state of this leaf, with the reading
„piegndo‟ in line 2 on p. 30, is represented in 1737/3. Both copies of vol. 1 in the
Brotherton Library in Leeds (Special Collections Italian E-9 GUA and Brotherton
Collection For C17/18 GUA) unaccountably have an additional leaf numbered 24
(verso blank), which contains 22 lines of text from Act I, scene ii (pp. 23-24 of the
normal volume): „Odo una voce mormorar … e dirmi: muori.‟, with the catchword
„Vorrei,‟.
The text of the Pastor fido ends on p. 341 and the rest of the first part of vol. 1 is
occupied by Rime scelte. The second part is occupied by the Annotazioni. The
second part of vol. 2 is a reprinting of the „Verona, 1734‟ edition of La idropica, as
edited by Rolli in 1718 and with its own title-page, pagination (now XII, 394 as
opposed to the earlier 169) and signatures. The vignette on the title-page is a
redrawing, with restored lower limbs and plinth, of that found in the earlier London
and Verona editions (see 1734/1 for fuller details). Lists of subscribers are to be
found in the first three volumes and a full list of the works which would have been
published had the edition proceeded is given in vol. 4, the pagination of which runs
(1)-576, 579-643.

1. Il pastor fido. Dramma tragicomico per musica in quattro atti da rappresentarsi
nel Teatro di Corte l‟anno 1789. La poesia è dell‟Abate da Ponte, Poeta del Teatro
Imperiale. La musica è del signore Antonio Salieri, primo Maestro di Cappella
all‟attual servigio di S. Maestà Cesarea. In Vienna, nella Imper. Stamperia dei Sordi,
& Muti, (1789). Pp. 74.
*Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek: 641432-A. 10,8 Mus.
Da Ponte‟s libretto for the February 1789 performances of Salieri‟s opera will be
reprinted in Lorenzo della Chà‟s edition of the Libretti viennesi (see 1999/3). The
text „preserves hundreds of Guarini‟s words and phrases, many lines, and several
passages of some length‟ (John A Rice, Antonio Salieri and Viennese opera (1998), p.
431). In Da Ponte‟s own words: „ho cercato di lasciare, quand‟ho potuto, i versi stessi
dell‟Autore, per non defraudare il pubblico di tutte quelle grazie e squisitezze ond‟è
ripiena quell‟opera‟ (ed. della Chà, p. 877). The libretto, which Rice calls libretto A,

139
has 490 lines and was revised in 3 acts and 338 lines for the autumn revival (see next
entry). Eleven years later, Da Ponte will be associated with Dulau‟s London edition
of Guarini‟s play (see 1800/1).
2. Il pastor fido. Dramma tragicomico per musica in tre atti. Da rappresentarsi nel
Teatro di Corte l‟anno 1789. Vienna, (1789).
*Roma, Conservatorio di musica Santa Cecilia.
Da Ponte revised the libretto in 3 acts for the October-November revival of the opera.
„Libretto B […] was produced cheaply by cutting up libretto A, removing some of its
pages, rearranging what was left, and adding, where necessary, a few newly printed
pages. Most of the cuts were in the original acts 1 and 2, which were combined into a
single act. […] The pages preserved from the earlier version contain the original
page numbers and the original scene and act numbers, resulting in much confusion‟
(Rice, op. cit., p. 429, n. 25). This version also is reprinted in 1999/3.

copies sold be returned. After the abolition of the Meza in 1794, the copies went to
the Biblioteca Publica in Lisbon and were eventually acquired by Gonzaga‟s heirs in
1838 and sold through a Lisbon bookseller. See Innocêncio Francisco da Silva,

Among the selection of documenti published by Rossi (pp. (271)-313) are 19 letters
by Guarini, a scene from the Pastor fido found in the Marciana manuscript (see
1962/3) but suppressed from the printed text, two sets of intermezzi written for
performances of the play, and a Lista di attrezzi per una rappresentazione del „Pastor
fido‟. A third set of intermezzi was published by Achille Neri two years later („Gli
“intermezzi” del “Pastor fido”‟, Giornale storico della letteratura italiana XI (1888),
405-415). The volume concludes with a Saggio di una bibliografia del „Pastor fido‟
(pp. 314-323), the only attempt made hitherto to establish a list of editions and
translations. A short article by Rossi, entitled „Bricciche guariniane‟, which appeared
in La biblioteca delle scuole italiane, anno VIII, ser. 2, no. 1 (1 ottobre 1898), pp. 1-5,
gives further useful references to letters and other documents published in the
intervening period and the full text of a letter of 1589 to Giambattista Strozzi, only the
first part of which had appeared in the Lettere.

donated to the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice in 1739. It forms a counterpart to her
other tesi di laurea of the same year, L‟elaborazione del Pastor fido e il linguaggio
tragicomico del Guarini, of which the Taylorian also possesses a photocopy (MS 8º

Vol. 46 in the series Classici italiani: collezione fondata da Ferdinando Neri, diretta
da Mario Fubini. Title-page in green and black. The statement on the verso of the
titlepage, „Prima edizione: 1955. Seconda edizione accresciuta: 1971‟, obscures the
fact that this is a revised and greatly enlarged edition, by a different editor, of the texts
first edited for UTET by Luigi Fassò in 1950 (not 1955), though a note concerning „la
presente edizione‟ (p. 78) does in fact make this clear, at the same time correcting the
date. The volume presents the largest number of texts by Guarini published together
since the Tumermani edition of 1737-38, containing, as it does, 50 letters, 19 of them
previously unpublished, most of the Rime from the 1598 edition, the Idropica, the
Pastor fido (together with a scene suppressed by Guarini from the printed text of the
play but found in manuscript and published by Rossi in 1886, the two sets of
Intermezzi and the Lista di attrezzi), the first Verrato, and extracts from the Segretario
and the Trattato della politica libertà. Seven of the plates which were used in the
1950 edition are retained, even that reproducing the first page of Marino‟s Prologo,
the text of which however is omitted, and to them are added two more, making nine in
all.

translation of Tasso‟s Aminta and Samuel Daniel‟s The Queenes Arcadia. Part of

identification was in fact suggested, as Donno acknowledges, in Burke‟s … Landed
Gentry, 18 th ed. (1965), I, 220-1.) Dymoke‟s translation occupies pp. (55)-172 and
the notes pp. (173)-182, while at the end of the volume there is a collation of the texts
