Description

Plate taken from Itinerario, overo nova descrittione de' viaggi principali d'Italia [...] di Francesco Scoto, published in Venice by Pietro Brigonci in 1665.

The plates published by Brigonci are recognizable by the square format of the prints.

His first edition of the Itinerary of Italy was in 1665 with the text taken from the publication of Cadorin in 1659, which expanded the story to Friuli, Sicily, Malta, Lazio and the Holy Land: in a reprint of the same year he also inserted tables of these territories.

In 1670, 1673, 1676 and 1679 there were other editions of Brigonci, all Venetian, with the unchanged title, Itinerario, overo nova descrittione de' viaggi principali d'Italia [...] di Francesco Scoto, enriched by just under forty antique prints with views of cities.

 

Copperplate, 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.
