Venice, Evangelista Deuchino and Giovanni Battista Pulciani, 1609. In 4th. Intaglio brand on the title page, copper engraved illustrations in the text, stains, some tears and stains, rear parchment binding.
The first illustrated edition, after the princeps of 1556, dates back to 1571. The manual created by Vincenzo Cartari represents the arrival point of a long mythographic tradition: its contribution to the emblematic and figurative culture of the 16th century it's basic. The images, based on a design by Bolognino Zaltieri, depict the gods according to a literary tradition that ignores the relationship with the ancient works of art actually visible in the sixteenth century.
