GERLI (Carlo Giuseppe). DISEGNI DI LEONARDO DA VINCI. Milan, Gerli, 1784. (Presso Giuseppe Galeazzi Regio Stampatore). In-folio of [2]-16 pages and 61 plates, half red chagrin with corners, spine with richly decorated nerves (19th century binding). First attempt to popularize the work of Leonardo da Vinci. This collection of drawings was the most complete that was published with a very faithful reproduction. The illustration consists of an engraved title and 2 series of 45 and 16 engraved plates. The first series was taken from the Ambrosian library and Leonardo's manuscripts, the last 16 from the cabinet of Councillor Pagave, who collected with great care everything belonging to Vinci. The Italian explanations of the drawings, placed at the beginning of the volume, are by Amoretti. 2 tears without missing on the 1st plate of the second series, from another copy. Very rare. FROM THE LIBRARY OF ARMAND ALBERT RATEAU, architect and decorator (1882-1938) (Ex libris n° C 1bis).
