GHERARDI (Evariste). LE THEATRE ITALIEN ou recueil général de toutes les comédies et scènes françoises jouées par les comédiens italiens du Roi.
Paris, Briasson, 1741. 6 volumes in-12 of 22-[4]-[2]-588-4 (music) ; [6]-510 ; [6]-560-4 (music) ; [6]-557-3bl.-16 (music) ; [6]-518-[2]-16 (music) ; [6]-647-1bl-32 (music) pages, calf, spine ribbed and ornamented (period binding).
A very amusing collection of the Italian Theatre of Gherardi, the Master of Goldoni. These comedies, based on the repertoire of the "Comedia dell'Arte", had been translated into French for the Parisian audience of the Théatre des Italiens.
New edition enriched with 6 frontispieces including a portrait of the author and 55 beautiful engraved plates evoking the stagings with the costumes of the time. The liminaries and pages 1 to 15 are misplaced in the first volume, but conform to the copy of the NL. Some foxing but not serious. The spines of 2 volumes are blackened with split spines.
