well the work of Folengo.The latter signs himself as Merlin Cocai, born in Cipada,the village facing the Virgilian Pietole. Nourished by ablackbird, he draws inspiration from the wine and the dishes of‘gnocchi’. Baldus was revised by author and published also in1539-40 and 1552, so that four versions are known, the best andmost original remaining that of 1521 (cf. M. Zaggia, Breve percorsoattraverso le quattro redazioni delle Macaronee folenghiane, in:“Teofilo Folengo nel quinto centenario della nascita, 1491-1991”,Florence, 1993, pp. 85-101).“L’edizione del 1521 si segnala, già sul piano meramenteeditoriale, come la gemma delle edizioni folenghiane, ein assoluto come una gemma delle edizioni cinquecentine: ilgeniale editore Alessandro Paganino, che quattro anni primaaveva sagacemente lanciato l’esordiente Folengo del Liber macaronices,ora non solo ricompone con sontuosa cura l’operaprofondamente riveduta e accresciuta – quasi un’opera nuova– ma non esita a dotarla anche d’un prezioso corredo di tavolexilografiche, destinato a giocare un ruolo non secondarionella fortuna ulteriore di Merlin Cocai… Ma la Toscolanese èimportante anche e soprattutto perché ci consegna la fase piùbrillante, più sbrigliata del macaronico folenghiano, una fase giàconsiderevolmente matura e non ancora frenata dalle inibizioni,ideologiche o classiciste, che provocheranno la vera e propriamutazione del Cipadense” (T. Folengo, Opus Merlini Cocaii, poetemantuani macaronicorum, A. Nuovo, G. Bernardi Perini & R.Signorini, eds., Volta Mantovana, 1994, pp. I-II).Teofilo Folengo, born Girolamo, was a native of Mantuaand entered the Benedictine order in 1509. In 1525 he wasdispensed from his vows and, along with one of his brothers, heled a wandering life, before deciding to return to the church. Hewas re-admitted to the order around 1534, after four years of penance in which he lived as a hermit.In 1526 Folengo published in Venice two profane works, the Orlandino and the Chaos of Triperuno. In 1533he wrote the religious poem, L’umanità del figlio di Dio, with the intention to redeem his past secular publications.In 1538 he was sent to Sicily near Palermo, like many others monks from Mantua, eg Benedetto da Mantova, whobetween 1537 and 1539 composed the famous Beneficio di Cristo. Folengo wrote also a sacred representation, the Attodella Pinta, which was repeatedly staged. In 1542 he returned to the Veneto region. He died on December 9, 1544 (cf.R. Dall’Ara, Folengo macaronico poeta. Girolamo, Teofilo e Merlin Cocai: il romanzo di una vita, Mantua, 2004, passim).At the end of the volume is a gathering of eight leaves (MM), which has no pagination and in some copiesis missing. Two different issues of it are known. The first issue, which is the one present in our copy, contains a briefexchange of letters between Folengo and Paganino, the ‘errata’, the Tabula facetiarum, and a sonnet (cf. A. Nuovo,Alessandro Paganino (1509-1538), Padua, 1990, pp. 78-82).Sander, 2832; Edit 16, CNCE19359; Adams, F-687; A.

Title-page printed in red andblack within an elaborated woodcut border (signed GB). Printer’s device on last leaf. A nice copy.RARE EDITION of Sannazaro’s canzoniere, which remained unpublished until 1530, when the original manuscript,entrusted to the poet’s lover Cassandra Marchese, was used for the first edition, that appeared in Naplesunder the title Sonetti e canzoni. Responsible for the edition was Cassandra Marchese herself.After the first edition, the work was reprinted several times; seven reprints appeared only in the first twoyears. The present edition, like that issued by Zoppino in 1531, bears at the end (from p. 48) an added third partcontaining 14 new poems. Considering that the first part contains 32 poems and the second, by far the largest andmost homogeneous section, 69, the volume contains overall 115 compositions, mainly sonnets.“Il Sannazaro preparò anche due raccolte di versi. Egli lavorò probabilmente per anni, sino al 1494-95circa, a un canzoniere organico di tipo petrarchesco, che poi abbandonò. Tramontata la corte aragonese, Sannazaroconsiderò finita l’epoca della poesia volgare: negli ultimi trent’anni della vita si dedicò soltanto alla produzionelatina e dedicò la sua attenzione soprattutto all’Accademia Pontaniana… Le sue poesie volgari, mai pubblicate astampa, restarono affidate manoscritte alla donna amata, di amore corrisposto, Cassandra Marchese, che ne curòl’edizione postuma, nel 1530… Costituita da due parti diverse e slegate fra loro, questa raccolta è stata impropriamenteconsiderata dall’editore moderno come prima e seconda parte di un unico canzoniere. Nelle due parti in cuisono raggruppate le 101 composizioni, Carlo Dionisotti (Appunti sul rime del Sannazaro, in: “Giornale Storico della- 12 -
Letteratura Italiana”, CXL, 1963, pp. 161-211) ha invece identificatodue diverse raccolte: nella seconda parte la raccolta abbastanzaomogenea, messa insieme nel 1495-96, dedicata a CassandraMarchese e ordinata secondo raggruppamenti tematicie costituita da 66 liriche, di cui 52 sonetti, 7 canzoni, 3 sestine e4 madrigali, cui sono aggiunti, in fondo, portando il numero a69, 3 ternari, l’uno dedicato alla Passione di Cristo, gli altri duedi argomento storico-politico; nella prima parte una raccoltapiù eterogenea, comprendente rime giovanili di tema amoroso,rime spirituali o di tema politico o encomiastico, rime piùtarde, costituita da 32 componimenti. Fuori dalle raccolte sonorimaste altre rime, oggi costituenti le cosidette Rime sparse,aderenti a moduli metrici e stilistici più chiaramente legati allatradizione quattrocentesca e per questo rifiutati” (G. Da Pozzo,Storia letteraria d’Italia, Il Cinquecento, Milan, 2007, I, p. 679).Born in Naples from a noble family, Sannazaro spenthis childhood in San Cipriano Piacentino. In 1475 he returnedto Naples and was admitted shortly after into the famous AccademiaPontaniana with the name of ‘Actius Syncerus’. In1481 he entered at the service of Alfonso, Duke of Calabria, andthen of Federico. After the final expulsion of the Aragonese in1501, Sannazaro followed his king into exile to France, only toreturn to Naples in 1505 after the death of the latter. For therest of his life he lived retired to a villa near Mergellina, wherehe died in 1530. Sannazaro together with his friend Pontanowas the greatest exponent of Neapolitan humanism. Amongother things, he wrote a poem in Latin, De partu Virginis (1526)and five Eglogae piscatoriae. But his fame is largely linked to theArcadia, a famous pastoral romance in prose and verse that waspublished for the first time in Naples in 1504.Edit 16, CNCE 41125; L.

It is debated which of the two is the true firstedition. Although the edition issued in Venice is generallyregarded as the editio princeps, considering that Sadoleto inthose years lived in Carpentras and published all his worksin Lyons, it is more likely that the work was first publishedin that city. Further confirmation seems to come from thefact that the work is dedicated to Guillaume du Bellay, humanist,historian, patron of the arts (and of François Rabelais)and able diplomatist at the service of Francis I, as wellas intimate correspondent of Sadoleto, and contains a praiseof King Francis I.The treatise, written in the form of a dialogue betweenJacopo and his nephew (the son of his brother PaoloSadoleto), had a great success and was reprinted severaltimes and translated into all major European languages.“Soon after Erasmus completed his own pedagogical treatise,Sadoleto began a dialogue on liberal education whichwas the most frequently published of all his works… Itis primarily a discourse on curriculum than a manual for- 13 -
