A PRECEDENT IN THE CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE IDEA OF AN ARTIFICIAL ARCHITECTURE OF KNOWLEDGE WITH A TWO-COLOUR TYPOGRAPHICAL DIAGRAM, MATERIALLY EMBODYING THE SPATIAL ORGANIZATION OF RHETORICAL ARTIFICE 4to (199x148 mm). 48 leaves. Collation: A-M4. Farri's woodcut device on the title page. Colophon on l. M4r. Errata printed in italics on l. M4r-v. Diagram printed in red and black on l. C4r. Rebound in old cardboards, spine reinforced in vellum with inked title. Copy skilfully and lightly washed, inner and lower margins of the title page and corresponding leaf carefully repaired without affecting the text. First edition, first issue featuring Farri's device on the title page (a subsequent issue or variant is known with the device of the publisher Paolo Gherardo, the crowned eagle above a book), of the two treatises, published posthumously in the very year of Giulio Camillo's death. The book belongs to the earliest phase in which Camillo's thought passed from manuscript and oral circulation into print, and it predates by six years the first edition of the Idea del theatro, published in Florence by Lorenzo Torrentino in 1550. At Camillo's death in Milan on 15 May 1544, a substantial portion of his intellectual production still circulated in manuscript, dictation, lectures, and courtly or humanistic networks. The Due trattati therefore belong to the earliest stage in the posthumous construction of Camillo as a printed author. In 1552, Lodovico Dolce republished the two works in Di M. Giulio Camillo tutte le opere, issued at Venice by Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari and Brothers, together with the Discorso in materia del suo theatro, the Lettera del rivolgimento dell'huomo a Dio, the Idea, two orations, and the poems. Further printings followed in 1554 and 1555. In 1560 Giolito produced a substantially enlarged two-volume collection, followed by later editions in 1566-67, 1568, 1579, 1580, and 1584. The 1544 Due trattati therefore predates the editorial consolidation of Camil
