VENTURINI, Venturino. Narratio duplicis duelli ytalorum ac hispanorum edita a Venturino Pisaurensi . [Milan?, after September 1508]. 4° (204 x 143 mm). Collation: [1] 4 (1/1r title, 1/1v verse dedication to Prince Francesco Gonzaga of Mantua, address to the reader, 1/2r text, incipit: Siena a te Roma gloriosa scrive E mandati di lauro due corone ). 4 leaves. Title in large rotunda type, text in roman type, double column. 5-line woodcut initial S (the block worn), two 2-line printed Lombard initials. Formerly part of a Sammelband , with MS foliation, 105-108. (Minor soiling to lower margins.) Modern dark orange morocco, covers and backstrip blind-panelled. Provenance : Cavalieri [Ferrara], booklabel on front pastedown; Giuseppe Martini; Tammaro de Marinis (1878-1969). FIRST EDITION, OF THE GREATEST RARITY. This short popular ballad in terza rima recounts an apparently true incident that occurred in Siena on 29 September 1508. Accosted by two Spanish soldiers, two natives of Siena, Giuliano di Roma and Tiracossa di Castello, challenged the ruffians to a duel, which they won after long and hard fighting. The narrator dwells on the magnanimity of the Italians, who set their rivals free after the victory, demanding only that they relinquish their swords and daggers, not in order to humiliate them but "in sign of victory". NO OTHER COPIES ARE RECORDED of this anonymously printed plaquette . Three other works by Venturini, recorded in one copy each at the British Library or at Harvard, were all printed at Milan by Milanese printers. These are: Farsa satyra morale , Giovanni da Castiglione, [1510?]; Renovatione del mondo , Vulpino da Caponago, 1511; and El cavaliero , Gerardo da Ponte, 1530. One can therefore conjecture that the present work was printed in the same city.
