Description

Tavola tratta da " Itinerario overo nova descrittione de' viaggi principali d'Italia […] di Andrea Scoto." edito tra Vicenza e Padova da Francesco Bolzetta tra il 1615 e il 1649.

Francesco Bolzetta, libraio ed editore padovano attivo per più di mezzo secolo, ripropose la prima guida per il viaggio in Italia nel 1615, avvalendosi della stamperia di Domenico Amadio. Sul frontespizio si legge Itinerario overo nova descrittione de' viaggi principali d'Italia […] di Andrea Scoto. [con errore di attribuzione ad Andrea Scoto, fratello di Francesco].

Altre edizioni seguirono a Vicenza (1622 e 1638) e anche a Padova (1629, 1642, 1649), questa volta però stampate principalmente a Padova, lo sbaglio persistette.

Incisione in rame, strappo di carta in basso, per il resto in buone condizioni.

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.
