COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor, his copy]. SAVIERO, Piccolo Diego. Descrizione delle pestilenza, Stata in Messina l’Anno del Signore 1743 . Messina: Officina della Società, per D. Michele de’ Chiaramonti, 1745.
COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor, his copy]. SAVIERO, Piccolo Diego. Descrizione delle pestilenza, Stata in Messina l’Anno del Signore 1743 . Messina: Officina della Società, per D. Michele de’ Chiaramonti, 1745. 8° (275 x 190 mm). Woodcut tail-pieces and devices. (Some light spotting or staining.) 19th-century tan half calf, marbled boards (hinges and spines repaired, some light wear). Provenance : notes in an Italian 18th-century hand; Samuel Taylor Coleridge (his initials on title-page); the library of William Wordsworth Rydal Mount (see Chester and Alice Shaver, Wordsworth’s Library A Catalog , 1979); Joseph Henry Green M.D. (1791-1863) Coleridge’s literary executor (his sale Sotheby, Wilkinson and Hodge, 27 July 1880, lot 577); sold C.A. Stonehill (pencil note on pastedown). A REMARKABLE ASSOCIATION COPY SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE’S COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION, SIGNED BY COLERIDGE AND LAMB . Coleridge’s initials appear on the title-page along with an inscription by Lamb: “’Why? Perhaps once, & that I call often.’ C. Lamb – Sept. 1 1804”. “Charles Lamb engaged Coleridge in a lifelong conversation ‘both by letter and with the dead in their books.’” (Coffman, p.xi). During the early years of his friendship with Coleridge, Lamb’s sister Mary Ann stabbed their mother in a fit of insanity, and Lamb was forced to commit her to an asylum. Shortly after, “he begged Coleridge , then twenty-four, to ‘write as religious a letter as possible’ to help soothe his grief…Books exchanged by Lamb and Coleridge were themselves a confessional. For instance…[some of those books] dealt with Mary Ann’s ostensible crime…[while others] offered hope for Mary Ann, as did Piccolo’s treatise” (Coffman, p.xi). This volume describes the plague as it befell Messina in 1743; manuscript notes in an unidentified hand describe history of Messina after the publication of this work, and include comments on another plague, a new Duke, and two earthquakes. Coffman, Ralph J. Coleridge’s Library A Bibliography of Books Owned or Read by Samuel Taylor Coleridge , P66 (who also notes that this book was once in the collection of Bertram Dobell (1842-1914) bookseller and literary scholar).
