About This Item
In Venetia Aperesso Gabriel Gigleo de AFerrrari, 1572. Small 4to, 195 x 142 mms., pp. [xvi], 231 [232 register], with separate title-page for La Creatione del Mondo, pp. [56], with printer's device on title-page, other woodcut illustrations, historiated initials, Dutch paste-down end-papers, contemporary vellum with ink title on spine; binding a trifle soiled, but a very good copy. OCLC notes that this work is a "Classical statement of the history of the world, arranged by its ages. This sort of work was of great importance in the developing philosophy of history and systems of the calculation of time in the last half of the century. The Creatione del mondo is one of a large number of treatises that comprise Philo's compendious commentary on the Book of Genesis. The Ferentelli translation first appeared in a Giolito edition of 1570, and was followed by numerous other editions of 1572, 1573, 1574, and 1575, which, according to Hoffmann, differ primarily in the addition of shoulder notes." In Creatione del Mondo, Ferentilli predicted that the world would end in 2021. Back to the drawing board, I guess. Bongi, S. Annali di Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari,; II:350-351; EDIT 16,; CNCE 18744.
