description: FONTES 58 is a supplement to three previous numbers of FONTES (52, 53, 54), which treated William Hogarth’s "Analysis of Beauty". Number 58 examines the almost completely unstudied Italian translation of Hogarth’s "Analysis" published in Livorno in 1761, three years before Hogarth’s death. The name of the translator is unknown, and the identity of the "dama inglese", Diana Molineux (Molyneux), to whom the book is dedicated, remains a mystery, as do the reasons why the book was dedicated to her. She apparently did not live in Livorno, or even in Tuscany, and the publisher, Giovanni Paolo Fantechi, who writes the dedication, had never met her. Information about the printer Fantechi is assembled, and his relationship with the poet, librettist, and publisher, Marco Coltellini is examined. Full texts of the dedication and the table of contents of the "Analisi" (1761) are published. FONTES 58 also asks if an untraced Italian translation of 1754, first cited in the nineteenth century, ever actually existed and concludes that this work is most likely a bibliographical phantom. An Addendum (Nachtrag) to FONTES 58 contains a complete digital facsimile of the text of the 1761 Italian edition of Hogarth’s 'Analysis.
