Author: TIRABOSCHI (Girolamo):
Title: Histoire de la Littérature d'Italie, Tirée de l'Italien de Mr. Tiraboschi, et abrégée par Antoine Landi, Conseiller & Poëte de cour de Prusse, & Académicien Florentin.
Description: Berne: [n. p.], 1784. 5 volumes. 8vo, pp. viii, 373 [374 blank]; 365 [366 blank]; 428; 536; 351 [352 blank], including half-title in each volume, original wrappers, uncut, spine worn, three wrappers detached, but a good example of a set as issued. Tiraboschi (1731 - 1794) produced 13 volumes of his Storia della letterature italiana, covering the origin and development of literature and the sciences from Etruscan times to 1700, between 1772 and 1782; an erudite and learned scholar, he was a bit long-winded, and Landi's abridgment has much to recommend it.
