Firenze, Libreria Luigi Gonnelli e figli 1949 72pp., 25cm., printed on luxury paper, publisher's hardcover (corners slightly bumped), in cart. slipcase, limited edition of only 300 copies, very good condition, [This is a critical and diplomatic edition of an encomiastic work dedicated to the Medici family. The central text (the Egkomion) is a panegyric written by the Florentine physician and humanist Antonio Benivieni (14431502). The work is a praise of Cosimo de' Medici the Elder, addressed to his grandson Lorenzo the Magnificent. The volume contains a facsimile reproduction (26pp.) of Benivieni's original autograph manuscript, allowing for the analysis of his humanistic cursive script. Benivieni, primarily known as a pioneer of pathological anatomy, composed this work to celebrate the virtues of the Medici, highlighting the link between medicine, humanistic culture, and the political patronage of the Florentine Renaissance. Renato Piattoli provides a historical introduction (proemio) that identifies the author through paleographic comparisons, along with a faithful transcription of the Latin text], G120575
