NOTES USTC: 827618, Adams: D-825, Brunet: II:811, Mortimer: Italian 166; “Anton Francesco Doni is credited as being the first Italian bibliographer for his two collections, La libraria (1550) and La seconda libraria (1551)…His most relevant works are I Marmi and I Mondi in which (in witty, malicious, and sometimes melancholic tones) he laments the corruption of his age and the decay of civil and religious sentiments.” [Encyclopedia of Renaissance Philosophy]; I Mondi is a novel inspired by Thomas More’s Utopia, and is considered to be one of the utopian Renaissance works, precursors of Italian fantastic-science fiction literature. I Mondi had more 16th century Italian printings than Utopia. Doni participated in the bringing of Utopia to Italy, with him writing the dedicatory letter for the 1548 Italian translation, praising it for having “…excellent customs, good arrangements, wise rules, holy admonishments, sincere government, and royal men.” I Mondi shows Doni’s social criticism, with him condemning the power to exploit the poor that the division of wealth gives the wealthy merchants and the nobility. Doni wished that “everyone would eat bread earned by his own sweat.” In a satirical dialogue, Jove mixed souls and bodies, so that the soul of a loutish peasant was placed in the body of a signore, and no one could detect the change. His ideal city removed most parts of society, since he viewed man as weak and believed they should “live in primitive simplicity. In the New World, men had no loyalty to spouse, family, city, or next world. The people of Doni’s star city had all their wants satisfied and avoided vice, but it was a life without aspiration.” [Grendler, 1965]; “Doni’s text is concerned with members of the Accademia dei Pellegrini. Marcolini was a member, [and Doni a founder,] and the special title-pages have Accademia imprints” (Mortimer).; Seller ID: 1335118 Subject: Dupont Circle, European History, Literature, Philosophy, Politics, Government, and Law Welcome to the eBay store of Second Story Books!
