Leonardo da Vinci's "Treatise on Painting" is a collection of his notes and reflections on painting, organized by his student Francesco Melzi and published posthumously in 1651, and later in versions accompanied by illustrations. The work is based on Leonardo's idea of painting as a natural science, founded on direct observation and geometry, and has influenced academic art teaching for centuries. This edition is prefaced by a long essay by Carlo Aromatic (1741-1816) who was an Encyclopedist whose mind encompassed theology, physics, geology, paleography, geography, and art history. He translated scientific works, published or republished many rare books and manuscripts, including Antonio Pigafetta's relation of the first circumnavigation of the world by Ferdinand Magellan's fleet.

Bibliothecæ Alexandrinæ icones symbolicæ / elogiis illustratæ, by C. Giarda
Located in Middletown, NY
DISTINGUISHED PEDIGREE: from the libraries of Robert Hoe and John Barrymore.
Elegantly illustrated and bound copy with a famed pedigree that spans from Robert Hoe—the businessman, collector, and founding member of the Grolier Club in 1884— to "The Lamberts" (probably purchased in the epic Hoe library auction of 1911-1912), who gifted it to the colorful and famous actor John Barrymore. Their bookplates adorn the inside covers, will your bookplate be next?
