Notes |
Federico Macchi states; A typically Venetian bookbinding of so called “cuoridoro” (gilt leather). These gilt and painted leather panels were used for wall decoration, (as in the old La Fenice theatre or the Cuori d’Oro room, located in Ca’ Vendramin Calergi house, Grand Canal) but also for covering chairs. This technique (see Cuoridoro: tecnica e decorazione di cuoi dorati veneziani e italiani con influssi islamici", in Venezia e L'Oriente Vicino , ed. by E.J. Grube, Venice, Edizioni l'Altra Riva, 1989, pp. 231-251, Pls. 20-23 and Figs. 1-14B) is rare on bookbindings, as the few other known examples show: 1) Oxford, Bodleian Library (no further data unfortunately to me available); 2) Pierre Berès, Livres rares. Six siècles de reliure. Catalogue 93, 2004, n. 76, Regiomontanus Johannes, Epitoma in almagestum Ptolomaei, Venice, Caspar Grossch & Stephan Römer, 1495, seventeenth century binding. 3) Bergamo (north Italy), city Library, Antiphonarium secundum morem Sancte Romane Ecclesie, Augusta Taurinorum, per Petrum Paulum Porrum chalcographum, MDXX, 306x225x62 mm., shelfmark Cinq. 5 591, unpublished. BL example is probably a “remboîtage”, as binding of this type tend to be late 16 th or even early 17 th century productions. |
