Description

View taken from Itinerario d'Italia di Francesco Scoto, published by Matteo Cadorin, whose name appears at the bottom right: “In Padova per Matteo Cadorin”.

 

Matteo Cadorin, known as 'Bolzetta', being related to Francesco Bolzetta's family, published several editions of the Itinerario starting in 1654.

He continued, still printing in Padua, in 1659 with at least two separate editions, and then in 1669 and 1670, the latter publication having a richer iconographic apparatus than the others, and “In Padova per Matteo Cadorin” was added to the plates.

Edition printed in Padua by Raffaello Savonarola, in 1713.

 

Etching, trace of the editorial fold at the centre, sporadic flowering, generally in good condition.

Francesco SCOTO (1548 - 1622)

Franz Schott, Italianate as Francis Scot, was a native of Antwerp. Jurist and a great traveler, brother of the famous Andreas, a Jesuit philologist and antiquarian, wrote "Itinerario overo decrittione de' viaggi principali in Italia". The work appeared for the first time, written in Latin, in Antwerp in 1600 (Itinerarium Italiae), on the occasion of the Jubilee, to be used by pilgrims on their way to Italy. The work was subsequently published in numerous editions in Latin, Italian, French and English. The Itinerary of Italy Schott is the expression of a particular form of travel writing that, in the multiplicity and diversity of its manifestations, embraces all those texts that take on the character guide for the trip and offer as a tool aimed at guiding the traveler in its path.
