FORESTI BERGOMENSE, Giacomo Filippo (1434-1520) - Nouissime hystoriarum omnium
FORESTI BERGOMENSE, Giacomo Filippo (1434-1520) - Nouissime hystoriarum omnium repercussiones. Venezia: Albertino Da Lessona, 1503.
Celebre edizione del Foresti, la prima a contenere a pp. 441-442 la descrizione del primo viaggio di Cristoforo Colombo. Sabin 25083: "earliest considerable recognition of that important discoverer by any general author". Nell'opera è inclusa anche la verosimilmente più antica veduta di Roma. Mortimer, I, 195: "Most of the small blocks used here by Albertino, the Tower of Babel, and the large views except for Milan are in the 1490 edition. The large view of Milan is new [..] Lipmann believes the view of Rome to be the oldest known [..] The invention of printing is recorded by Foresti under the year 1458 with a note that some believe the inventor to be Gutenberg, others Johann Fust or Nicolas Jenson. New to this edition is an account of the discovery of America under the year 1493".
Folio (300 x 210mm). (Alcuni fogli in facsimile fra cui a1-a2, a7-a8 e b2). Numerosissime vedute di città (senza ultima bianca, alcune pagine riparate e rinforzate ai margini con alcune piccole perdite al margine interno come anche le pagine seguenti fra cui a3 e meno gravemente i fogli seguenti dello stesso quaderno, b8, R3 tracce di umido al margine superiore, alcune minori riparazioni e tarli). Pergamena coeva, titolo manoscritto al dorso (alcune perdite riparate, lacci moderni, dorso con tarli). Provenienza: alcune annotazioni antiche.

The large view of Milan is new [..] Lipmann believes the view of Rome to be the oldest known [..] The invention of printing is recorded by Foresti under the year 1458 with a note that some believe the inventor to be Gutenberg, others Johann Fust or Nicolas Jenson. New to this edition is an account of the discovery of America under the year 1493".
