Alessandro Manzoni – Tragedies, The Count of Carmagnola and Adelchi (Florence, 1825)
​Splendid and exemplary contemporary edition of the prestigious Florentine edition of the Tragedies and Poems of Alessandro Manzoni, printed in 1825, when the Writer was still active, by Giuseppe Molini under the Dante imprint. The edition brings together the theatrical masterpieces by Manzoni (The Count of Carmagnola and Adelchi), complete with their respective prefaces, historical notes and the famous Discourse on some points of Lombard history in Italy. It also includes the section dedicated to Varied Poems (including On the Death of Carlo Imbonati and The Fifth of May) and to the Sacred Hymns, enriched in the appendix by critical texts and studies translated from German and French (including Goethe’s writings and Claude Fauriel).
​Valued contemporary binding in full leather, with raised spine cords enriched by rich friezes, inlays and gold-lettering impressed in hot gold. Solid and compact structure, with signs of time consistent with the era.
​Fresh and well-preserved inner pages, printed on high-quality paper with generous margins. The copy retains the endpaper with a manuscript-era dedication, "To Mr. Carlo Claudio Fauriel as an attestation of cordial and reverent friendship, the author." Text perfectly legible and complete with all plates and sections provided by the index, including the final page of Errors and Corrections.
