Description

This is Valgrisi's first quarto edition, the first edition to contain Ruscelli's interpretative apparatus, following his editions of the Decameron (1552) and Petrarca (1554). Ruscelli's aim was to aid understanding of the text with plot summaries, interpretative notes and a glossary of less common words, as well as a verse argomento of each canto in a decorative cartouche (written by Scipione Ammirato). With regard to Ariosto's text, Ruscelli standardised his spelling and corrected any perceived grammatical errors. Agnelli-Ravegnani, p. 98-100: "E' questa la prima edizione valgrisiana, di notevole rarità". Mortimer, Harvard Italian 29 (ediz. successiva).
