  • Florence: Niccolò Conti, 1819
By Filicaia, Vincenzo da (1642-1707).
Florence: Niccolò Conti, 1819. Good. 16 cm; 2 volumes. 279; 318 pages. Engraved title page in volume one, with portrait of Filicaia. Original publisher's wraps, printed with ads, curled at corners and perishing from spine. Unopened, untrimmed. Early ownership inscription on front blank of volume 1 and on title page of volume 2. Sewing weak but holding.

As baroque tendencies waned in the second half of the 17th century, a rational and classicist trend grew. Filicaia was one of the most influential voices in this trend. One of the first members of the Arcadian Academy, he was a favorite of Queen Christina of Sweden. This collection was first published in 1707, the year of FIlicaia's death.
