About This Item
Padova: Carlo Conzatti, 1795. Original edition. Very Good. Octavo (16 cm); 29, [3 blank] pages, in one gathering (A\16). Woodcut device on title page, two woodcut headpieces showing putti in architectural setting. Bound in unusual red and orange mottled pastepaper. Slight blemishes to lower edge of wraps. No references found, no other copies located. Author's name from dedicatory letter.
All of the information we have about the two cantatas collected here comes from internal evidence. We find no external records except for the presence of a manuscript in library in Rome of a symphony and an opera by one "Paresi," no first name given. The texts here were ostensibly performed for the "podestà" (effectively, the mayor) of Padua, Girolamo Giustiniani, who must have attended graduation festivities for young Niccolò Sant'agnese, of one of Padua's prominent families. The verse (in my judgement) is unmemorable, but we cannot tell how it sounded when set to music (now lost). Carlo Conzatti's page design and printing is, as usual, skilled work, very pleasing to the eye, bound in decorated paper.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
