Gioiello della corona per le nobili e virtuose donne. Libro quarto. Nel
quale si dimostra altri nuovi bellissimi Dissegni di tutte le sorte di
Mostre di Punti in Aria, Punti tagliati & Punti à Reticello; così per
Freggi, come per Merli, & Rosette, che con l' Aco si usano hoggidì per
tutta l' Europa. Et molte delle quali mostre possono servire anchora per
opere à Mazzette Nuovament posto in luce con molte bellissime inventioni
non mai più usate, nè vedute. Con privilegio. In Venetia, Appresso Cesare

Same impresa of the stork and serpent.
Dedicated to the Sign. Isabella Palavicina Lupi Marchesa di Soragana,
dated "Venetia alli 20 Novembrio 1592." Cesare Vecellio. 30
plates.[1334]
{487}Vecellio, author of the _Corona_ and _Gioiello_, also published a
work on costume styled _Degli Habiti Antichi et Moderni_. _In Venezia_,
1590. _Presso Damian Zenero._ In the frontispiece is a salamander; on
the last leaf a figure of Vesta. It has been reproduced by F. Didot,
Paris.
He was not, as is often incorrectly stated, a relation, or even of the
same family as Titian.
These are the earliest impressions we have had an opportunity of
examining of Vecellio's works, which appear to have been widely
circulated. The Bib. de l'Arsenal possesses two copies of the _Corona_
(No. 11,955), from which we have described. In the other (No. 11,155
_bis_), Book 1 "ultima," Book 2 "quarta," are both dated 1593; and Book
3 "nuovamente ristampata la quarta volta," 1592. The plates all the
same.
The Library of Rouen (No. 1,315) has a volume containing the _Corona_
and _Gioiello_. Book 1 "quarta Imp.," Book 2 "ultima," both dated 1594;
and Book 3 "quinta," 1593. The _Gioiello_, 1593.
In the Bodleian is a copy of the three books, date 1592; and another,
date 1561, was in the possession of the late Mrs. Dennistoun of
Dennistoun.
At Venice, in the Doge's Library, is a volume containing the three
books of the _Corona_ and the _Gioiello_, dated 1593.
Mrs. Stisted, Bagni di Lucca, also possesses the three books of the
Corona, dated 1597, and the Gioiello, 1592.
At Bologna the Library has one volume, containing the first and second
books only, evidently the original impressions. The titles are the same
as the above, only to each is affixed, "Opera nuova e non più data in
luce," and "Stampata per gli Hered' della Regina. 1591. An instantia di
Cesare Vecellio, Stà in Frezzaria."
The same Library also possesses a volume, with the three books of the
_Corona_, the first and third "ottava," the second "quarta," and the
_Gioiello_, "nuovamente posto in luce." All "In Venetia appresso gli
heredi di Cesare Vecellio, in Frezzaria. 1608."
At Vienna, in the new Museum for Art and Industry, is a copy of the
five books, dated 1601.[1335]
