PEGOLOTTI, ALESSANDRO. Ditirambo di Alessandro Pegolotti fra gli Arcadi Orialo Miniejano con alcuni sonnetti del medesimo ai nominato in esso. Engraved device of the Accademia dell'Arcadia on title. [16], 112 pages. 4to, early 20th-century navy morocco lavishly gilt-tooled by Sir Edward Sullivan, stamp-signed "E. S. Aurifex" on front, with lobed floral border on covers enclosing large oval centerpiece of massed small tools on front and small one on rear, spine faded to green; contents clean.

scarce first edition of a volume of neo-classical verse by Pegolotti (aka Orialo Minieiano) of the Arcadian Academy, and superb example of sullivan's decorative work. Though he did not bind books himself, Sullivan (1852-1928) was skilled at gold-tooling. Cf. Nixon, Oldaker Collection 71.
