  • Venizia: Presso Antonio Savioli, 1775
By Bravetti, Jacopo
Venizia: Presso Antonio Savioli, 1775. 8vo.  200 x 140 mm., [7 ¾ x 5 ¼ inches].  107 [1] pp.  Contemporary paste-paper boards; binding soiled, title in ink on spine, text block lightly foxed throughout.


First edition, followed by a Verona edition, with addition, printed in 1798.  A select bibliography, listing over 300 titles, by authors, editors, and commentators who were represented in the Vocabulario Della Crusca and were recognized for their contributions to the standardization of the Italian language.   The best editions of both classical and contemporary authors are described by Bravetti, who annotates his list with notes on previous edition and comments on the quality of the language used by the original authors and their editors.  This is one of the earliest bibliographical studies of Italian literature and follows the work of Giuseppe Baretti and Alessandro Pompeo Berti and Domenico Giorgi and their catalogue of the Capponi collection published in 1747.


Bravetti's work was based on the collection of Giuseppe Gradenigo, to whom the book is dedicated. The Gradenigo collection was subsequently sold enbloc to the bookseller Adolfo Cesare.
