description: FONTES 80, "Three Notable Later Editions of Antonio Zantani and Enea Vico’s Le imagini con tutti i riversi trovati et le vite de gli Imperatori tratte dalle medaglie et dalle historie de gli antichi [1548]". Hier werden drei spätere Ausgaben der Imagini unter bibliographischen und bibliophilen Gesichtspunkten identifiziert und untersucht. Die erste dieser späteren Editionen ist eine kaum bekannte, in der modernen Literatur vernachlässigte italienische Ausgabe. Sie wurde im Jahre 1552 gedruckt. Das einzige noch bekannte Exemplar dieser Auflage befindet sich in der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek in München (nicht im elektronischen Katalog [OPAC] aufgeführt). Die zweite Ausgabe ist eine lateinische Übersetzung des Buches von Zantani und Vico aus dem Jahr 1553, eine spezielle Redaktion mit einer Widmung an Papst Julius III. Die dritte ist die vollständige Ausgabe von 1553, neu gedruckt im Jahre 1554. Das Werk – ohne Widmung an den Papst – enthält zum ersten Mal zwei von Vico verfassten Register. Das erste weist auf Verbesserungen, Änderungen und Ergänzungen zu der 1548 veröffentlichen Ausgabe hin. Das zweite stellt ein ausführliches Register aller denkwürdigen Dinge dar, die auf den gestochenen Münzreversen zu sehen sind.     (1) Antonio Zantani und Enea Vico, Le imagini (...), [Venezia] 1552 (München, Staatsbibliothek, Res/4, Num. ant. 206k).   In dieser Ausgabe wurde die Titelseite nach dem Muster der noch nicht erschienen lateinischen Ausgabe von 1553 gestaltet. Es gibt mehrere Abweichungen von der ersten Ausgabe (1548): Einige der kurzen, "inschriftartigen" Viten wurden neu zusammengestellt und typographisch neu gesetzt; es gibt auch einige Verbesserungen. Gelegentlich ist die Reihenfolge der Abbildungsseiten (recto und verso) nicht eingehalten. Auch in den längeren Viten gibt es kleine Änderungen. Der Zweck dieser Neuauflage (für die hier eine ausführliche Darstellung der Abweichungen gegeben wird) ist nicht ganz klar; sie spiegelt sich jedoch in der lateinischen Ausgabe von 1553 wider. Das Exemplar in der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek zeigt, dass die Imagini von 1548 auf genügend Interesse bei den Lesern stießen, um die Autoren und Verleger zu einer neuen italienischen Ausgabe zu motivieren.     (2) Antonio Zantani und Enea Vico, Omnium Caesarum verissimae vorstellt ex antiquis numismatis desumptae, [Venezia] 1553 (München, Staatsbibliothek: Res/4, Num.ant. 200). Das Münchner Exemplar dieses Werks ist ein Sonderfall: Anders als die meisten Exemplare des Buches enthält es einen Widmungsbrief an Papst Julius III. Die Existenz einer Version des Werkes, die dem Papst gewidmet wurde, war der bibliographischen Tradition bereits bekannt – doch die Sache selbst, der historische Kontext und die spezifischen Merkmale des Drucks wurden bisher nicht gänzlich verstanden. Der lateinische Volltext des Briefes wird im Münchner Exemplar durch eine deutsche Übersetzung von Gregor Maurach ergänzt. Nach 1548 erhielt Zantani von Julius III. (Papst 1550–1555) Titel und Benefizien verliehen. Die Vorworte zur Ausgabe von 1553 nennen Zantani zum ersten Mal „Comes, et Eques“, also mit den neu erworbenen Titeln. Vicos Widmungsbrief stellt nicht nur diese Titel Zantanis heraus; der Text bildet, zusammen mit Vicos Versprechen, bald ein von ihm gestochenes Porträt des Papstes zu veröffentlichen, möglicherweise einen Versuch, die Unterstützung des Papstes zu gewinnen. Dies war naheliegend: Vico hatte zahlreiche illustrierte und erläuternde numismatische Werke in Vorbereitung, die höchst arbeitsaufwendig und kostspielig waren.     (3) Antonio Zantani and Enea Vico, Omnium Caesarum verissimae imagines ex antiquis numismatis desumptae, [Venezia] 1553, reprint 1554. Die lateinische Ausgabe der Imagini enthält viele Münzen, die in der ersten italienischen Ausgabe von 1548 nicht vorkamen. Etwa 95 Exemplare wurden in der Zwischenzeit identifiziert und hinzugefügt. Vico hat sich sichtlich angestrengt, die Rückseiten aller Abgebildeten zu erläutern. So ist das Werk mit zwei Indizes erschienen. Der erste identifiziert die neu aufgenommenen Münzen und weist auf Verbesserungen gegenüber der ersten Ausgabe (1548) hin. Der zweite, sehr ausführliche Index („Numismatum et rerum omnium memorabilium, quae in hoc libro sculptae visuntur Aeneae Vici Parmensis Index“) widmet sich der bemerkenswerten Dinge – Objekte, Personen, Allegorien und Ereignisse – die auf den Münzreversen dargestellt sind. Im Fontes-Beitrag wurden als Beispiel diejenigen Eintragungen aus dem zweiten Index ausgesondert, die sich auf die Münzen des Kaisers Claudius beziehen. Diese sind im Volltext wiedergegeben, zusammen mit Vicos nummerierten Abbildungen der entsprechenden Reverse. Der vollständiger Index bildet zum ersten Mal das große Universum von Inschriften auf den Reversen römischer Kaisermünzen ab. Er wird als Ganzes im Addendum zu Fontes 80 reproduziert.

title: Il rovescio della medaglia, No. 1: Two letters by Annibale Caro: Numismatic methods and ancient coin reverses in: Annibale Caro, De le lettere familiari del Commendatore Annibal Caro, Volume Secondo. Venezia: Aldo Manuzio, 1575 (FONTES 72)

description: FONTES 72, the first of a series of numbers treating Renaissance numismatic literature, considers two letters written by Annibale Caro (1507-1566). The first letter, from around 1557-1559, is addressed to a former student of Caro, Silvio Antoniano, in Ferrara. In this letter Caro describes his scientific methods of describing, analysing, documenting, classifying and interpreting numismatic material, and, in particular, his treatment of the reverses of ancient coins. This method is illustrated in Caro’s second letter, addressed to the Roman humanist antiquarian and collector of antiquities Fulvio Orsini, on 15 September 1562. It provides, at Orsini’s request, information about some sixty-five coins and their reverse images that was retrieved from coins in his collection as well as from his well-organized indices and notes, which he had described in his letter to Antoniano. Caro’s descriptions of the allegorical figues on the coin reverses was very likely to serve Orsini in the elaboration of a program for artists. Caro’s study of ancient coins and their reverses dates back to his studies in the 1530s in the ambience of the Accademia vitruviana and in the company of Caudio Tolomei, Marcello Cervini and Bernardino Maffei, all of whom sought to interpret the reverse images on coins on the basis of the ancient writings ("per via d’historie"). For Caro, the images on the coin and the relevant written sources were complementary: "E cosi si verrebbono a far di belli interpretamenti tanto ne le medaglie quanto ne’ libri". The difficulties that numismatists faced in this task can be traced in the literature on ancient coins from the 1530s up until the time of Francesco Angeloni and Giovan Pietro Bellori (1685), and beyond.

description: FONTES 66 presents the exploration of the ruins of Persepolis in 1621 by the Roman traveller Pietro Della Valle (1586-1652). During his years of travel (1614-1626) Della Valle recorded his experiences in fifty-four letters, published in  three parts – La Turchia, La Persia and L’India – between 1650 and 1663 under the title Viaggi di Pietro della Valle il Pellegrino. Recently studied by archaeologists and literary historians, Della Valle’s travels have received little if any attention by historians of art. While Della Valle’s letters follow in a tradition of earlier Italian travellers, his methods of recording ancient monuments, art and artefacts were guided by up-to-date archaeological and antiquarian methods, first established in Italy in the first half of the sixteenth century. It was his intention from the beginning not only to describe the monuments and works of art, inscriptions, landscapes and people but to record these also graphically. This documentation was planned for the last volume which never appeared: "le figure di molte cose memorabili, sparse per tutta l’opera, la  loro esplicatione". His exact observation and verbal documentation together with an extensive graphic record served his hermeneutic intentions.

These letters are considered in the context of Vasari’s literary remains, and, in particular, in the context of the historical reassembly of his "carteggio" (Briefverkehr; correspondence), first in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, and then with the rediscovery of the Vasari Archive by Giovanni Poggi in 1908, and its subsequent  publication by Karl Frey in 1923-1930, and finally in the context of more recent developments. Ernst Steinmann’s report (1910), "Zur Publikation des Vasari-Archivs", is included as a full text.

description: FONTES 49 makes widely available a full text version of a rare, little-known, and seldom consulted work, Antonio Martellini’s La Solenne entrata dello Illustrissimo, et Eccellentissimo Signore il Signor Duca di Fiorenza et Siena, fatta a XXVIII. d’Ottobre, MDLX, in Siena (Firenze, Lorenzo Torrentino, 1560), a description of the Triumphal Entry into Siena of Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici on 28 October 1560. Antonio Martellini was a sixteenth-century letterato of Siena, about whom almost nothing is known, with the exception of the work published here. Martellini was a member of the equally mysterious Accademia dei Travagliati in Siena (founded 1550-1555). The description of the entry contained in Martellini’s book is, in some respects, more extensive and exact than that in Cirni’s (Fontes 48). Martellini’s festival description is dated the day of Cosimo’s entry into Siena. It is notable for its Sienese perspective, its accurate description, its developed architectural vocabulary, its clarity of structure, its vivid picture of Sienese society and the ducal court, and its detailed description of costume and dress. The large rôle that inscriptions played in the entry is also documented by Martellini, who includes a few inscriptions not found in Cirni, and he offers variant readings for some inscriptions. As is Anton Francesco Cirni’s description of the same entry, Martellini’s book is an important document of political iconography. The Siena Entry of 1560 has been treated in Fontes 46 and 48, and, with the publication of the full text version of Martellini, the primary sources for this entry are accessible online, providing a basis for a more penetrating study of this important occasion, a study which remains to be made. The text is indexed by inscriptions, places, persons, images, and attributes.

description: "Two Early Statements about Michelangelo not in Steinmann-Wittkower" presents two extracts from Niccolò Franco’s "Pistole vulgari" (Venice 1539). FONTES 42 is No. 6 in a series of early "Sources and Documents for Michelangelo Buonarroti"; see: FONTES 12 (Paolo Giovio), FONTES 20 (Giorgio Vasari), FONTES 23 (Benedetto Varchi), FONTES 34 (Ascanio Condivi), and FONTES 35 (Anonymous, in: Giacomo Filippo Forresti). Franco’s "Pistole" of 1539 is one of the first published collections of Italian letters. Franco’s text constitutes an early example of Venetian art criticism that places Venetian artists alongside Michelangelo in the first rank of artists. Franco proposes a new triumvirate of first artists including Michelangelo, Titian, and Jacopo Sansovino.

subject: Architekturtheorie
description: A Brief Discourse concerning the three chief Principles of Magnificent  Building (1662) is the first of the two architectural treatises by Balthazar Gerbier which he printed soon after his return to England in 1660. The second treatise, Counsel and Advise to all Builders, followed one year later in 1663. Both works are still in the tradition of Alvise Cornaro and Henry Wotton, and others who followed them, pragmatic and empirical in orientation, and witten more for patrons, for men of the ordinary kind, and for executing supervisors, builders, and workmen than for elevated architects.

description: Der hier vorgestellte Text, die 'Descrizione dell’apparato fatto nel Tempio di S. Giovanni di Fiorenza per lo battesimo della Signora prima figliuola dell’Illustrissimo, et Eccellentissimo S. Principe di Fiorenza, et Siena Don Francesco Medici, e della Serenissima Reina Giovanna D’Austria' (Florenz: Giunti 1568), ist die gedruckte Beschreibung einer Festdekoration; er wurde von Vasari gleichzeitig mit den Feierlichkeiten am 29. Februar 1568 (nach Florentiner Zeitrechnung noch 1567) veröffentlicht. Die 'Descrizione' beschreibt minutiös die Festdekoration Vasaris für die Taufe des erstgeborenen Kindes von Francesco I. de’ Medici und Giovanna d’Austria, seiner Gemahlin. Die Feier fand in San Giovanni, dem Baptisterium von Florenz, unter Anwesenheit zahlreicher Prominenz und eines großen allgemeinen Publikums statt. Die malerische Ausstattung des Innenraumes des Baptisterium folgt einer für die Zeit typischen ikonografischen Erfindung (‚invenzione’), entwickelt ein gängiges  Programm. Es stammt von einem engen Freund und Berater Vasaris, Don Vincenzo Borghini.
