Taylorian: AIY 60 A.6.
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previously unpublished, most of the Rime from the 1598 edition, the Idropica, the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.
