PALLADIO, Andrea (1508-1580)]. Delli cinque Ordini di Architettura di Andrea Palladio Vicentino . Venice: Angiolo Pasinelli, 1746.
PALLADIO, Andrea (1508-1580)]. Delli cinque Ordini di Architettura di Andrea Palladio Vicentino . Venice: Angiolo Pasinelli, 1746. 4 o (233 x 158 mm). Elaborately engraved title page and 23 full-page engravings by Giovanni Francesco Costa (1711-1772); woodcut head- and tail-pieces, and initials. Contemporary Italian sprinkled boards, uncut (rebacked to match). Provenance : armorial bookplate; acquired from Martayan Lan, 1992. This elegant quarto work on Palladio's five orders was published by Pasinelli simultaneously with his monumental 8-volume folio edition of Palladio's I Quattro Libri di Architettura . The title-page engraving is signed by Costa who was presumably responsible for the full-page architectural engravings that accompany the text. Costa was an architect, painter of architectural perspectives and professor of Civil and Military architecture at the Academy of Venice as well as an active set designer. He is most known for his Le delicie del fiume Brenta , published in Venice, 1750-56. A LARGE UNCUT COPY. See Fowler 233 (later reworked 1784 edition). Not in Cicognara, Fowler nor Berlin Katalog.
