VIVALDI, Agostino, s. j. - Meditationi sopra li Evangelii che tutto l'anno si leggono nella mesa, & principale misterii della vita, & passioni di Nostro Signore. Respondenti alle imagini del padre Girolamo Natale. Rome, Luigi Zanetti, 1599. In-folio, title-front, 153 num. ff. including title and texts of the Meditations on verso, accompanying 153 num. h. t. plates in Arabic and Roman numerals, (3) ff. (errata, notice to the reader, table of figs.), pl. havana morocco, ribbed spine, int. dent, gilt tr. (TRAUTZ-BAUZONNET). SOMMERVOGEL VIII, 866. FUNCK 367. ADAMS N-54. First edition of Agostino Vivaldi's meditations on the Gospels. They are accompanied by a suite of interleaved plates. This suite first appeared alone in 1593, under the title Evangelicae Historiae Imagines, and was subsequently appended to Jerome Nadal's (Hieronymus Natalis) Adnotationes et Meditationes in Evangelia (Antwerp, Nuntius, 1594) with numbers added in Roman numerals to correspond to his text. The burin engravings are signed by Hieronymus Wierix (65), Anton II Wierix (58), Johannes Wierix (9), Adriaen Collaert (11), Jan Collaert (1), Karel van Mallery (8) and one with an N initial, after drawings by Bernardino Passeri and Maarten de Vos. This monumental engraving work was begun through Christophe Plantin, who was in charge of finding engravers and was in contact with Father Diego Jimenez (1530-1596), secretary to the Jesuits in Rome and Nadal's publisher.
