| Popis: | In 1584 John Wolfe printed in London an edition of Pietro Aretino’s Sei giornate, also known as Ragionamenti; a second edition with the same imprint was published by John Windet for John Wolfe around 1597. Four counterfeit books based on these two editions were published in the first half of the Seventeenth Century. A wrong understanding of the bibliographic sources widely regarded as reference books for these editions often led to mistake the Sixteenth Century editions for their counterfeits, and the counterfeits among them. The essay proposes a comparison among those bibliographic sources generally used to identify this group of editions, with the aim of establishing a hierarchy among them; in addition it aspires to complete the task by showing data collected through the analysis of some copies held by the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Part of the essay concerns a series of studies relating to the identification of Barbagrigia and L’Herede di Barbagrigia whose signatures appear in the John Wolfe’s edition of Ragionamenti, which also includes the Commento di Ser Agresto composed by Annibal Caro. |
