SACRED SAYINGS OF THE SEA KNIGHT

Subjects: Astronomy, Music, Religion, Italian Literature
Place of publication: Vicenza
In 12°, 13 cm, contemporary parchment binding, handwritten title on the spine. Beautiful engraved title page, animated with allegorical figures, with the Meietti brand at the bottom. Also contains: "Music, second dictation. On the seven words spoken by Christ on the cross" and: "Heaven, third dictation, on the religion of Saints Maurice and Lazarus."
The Sacred Dicerie were first published in Turin in 1614. They are dedicated to Pope Paul V and contain three prose works, each with the following titles: 1) Painting. First Sayings on the Holy Shroud. 2) Music. Sayings on the Seven Words Spoken by Christ on the Cross. 3) Heaven. Third Sayings. A highly original work, it blends sacred oratory, hinted at in the title and supported by a long series of scriptural citations, with artistic treatises (painting, music), astronomy, erudition, and poetry. In the Dicerie, Marino creates a kaleidoscopic, iridescent, labyrinthine prose, rich in allegories, symmetries, syntactic variations, and lexical refinements. A striking example of prose between Mannerist and Baroque.
