[MICHIEL<br />
– PISANI.] CARO, Annibale. Lettere di<br />
L. Annéo Seneca recate in italiano dal Commendatore<br />
Annibal Caro e per la prima volta pubblicate nelle nozze<br />
Michiel e Pisani. Venezia, Tipografia Palesiana, 1802.<br />
4to (246 x 175mm), pp. [xxiv], 72, engraved title vignette<br />
with arms; original yellow paper boards, with large Michiel<br />
– Pisani arms to both sides; a fine copy.<br />
First edition, with a preface by Angelo Dalmistro, giving details<br />
of the Annibal Caro, the translator. The classicist Annibal<br />
Caro (1507–1566), is famous for his very successful translation of<br />
the Aeneid. He is praised for replacing the concision of the<br />
Latin text with a more fluent version, which gives complete<br />
clarity to Virgil’s thought. ‘The wealth and purity of the language<br />
are, to Italians, a delights; and the blank verse is handled<br />
with an artistic freedom that has never been excelled’<br />
(Wilkins, p. 249).
