Sobre este artículo
Giovanni Battista Gherado d'Arco (1739-1791), was born and educated in the north of Italy in the territory known as the Southern Tyrol, near the city of Trento. He moved to Mantua following his cousin Carlo Firmian, a minister of state for the city. D'Arco continued to study economics there and became an important member of the civil service and contributor to the literary life of his adopted home. He was a member of the enlightened class, writing plays and satires in addition to his scholarly work on the economy and government.
In Della influenza del ghetto nello stato, D'Arco studies the impact of the Jewish community on the economy of the city, especially as it relates to lending money to support agricultural production. He outlines the limits of the Ghetto participation in general economy and following the theories of colleagues Giovanni Battista Vasco and Pietro Verri, suggest that the expanded participation in the general economy would open trade and finance opportunities for both Jewish community and the burgeoning commercial classes in Italy. He also investigates the prevailing opinions and prejudices toward the Ghetto and suggests that greater integration of the of Jews and Italians would help better manage both the economy and the social cohesion of the ducal states of Northern Italy.
This copy is bound in full contemporary decorated leather, with remnants of gold or silver painting on the upper board. Both boards are embossed with an outer panel in a leaf and vine motif, enclosing two vertical panels with an urn at the base at its base and leafy vines blooming into a flower at the top. There is a shadow on the leaves and flowers where the gold or silver was applied but now almost completely lost. Each board has two slits where ties or ribbons once were used to secure the boards. The binding is slightly rubbed, and the endpapers are split showing the cords of the text block, but otherwise in very good condition.
According to Federico Macchi, an expert in Italian bindings and author of a book on Piedmontesi and Tirolian bindings, this is a wonderful example of an 18th century binding from the territory encompassing Southern Germany, Tirol, and Trentino Alto Adige. Referring to this copy Macchi writes, "the kind of decoration, of the post fanfare style, showing central leafy vertical bands within head and foot borders, usually appearing in eighteenth-century binding produced in the southern German area or the Tirol."
Pasted to the front pastedown is an award citation for achievement in grammar dated 1798. It includes a four-line poem offering words of congratulations and the best of luck in the future. Given the content of the essay, this is an unusual gift book and one only wonders to whom it was awarded. A phase in the citation suggest someone from the family Benuzzi.
Not in Kress, Einaudi or the Biblioteca Mattioli. DBI II (1961) pp. 798-793. Laterza I, p. 170. NUC cites copies at Harvard, NYPL, and Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. OCLC cites two copies, BL and Harvard; ICCU cites one copy in Milan.

Sobre De Simone Company, Booksellers
De Simone Company Booksellers specializes in early Italian books and manuscripts, mostly in the fields of social science, history, antiquarian bibliography and illustrated books. The owner, Daniel De Simone, has a particular interest in books, manuscripts, and ephemera printed in, or about, the history of Ferrara, Italy. The business also deals in 19th-century Americana and fine books in all fields and languages.
De Simone Company Booksellers enjoyed its second opening as a book company in 2018 after a seventeen-year hiatus. Originally established in 1978, De Simone Company bought, sold, and evaluated rare books, manuscripts, and prints for twenty-two years before closing, when De Simone accepted the position as Curator of the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection at the Library of Congress.
De Simone held this position for fourteen years before moving to the Folger Shakespeare Library as the Eric Weinmann Librarian. In this position, he managed seven departments, including acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation, research services, and the Library's book, manuscript, and art collections. He held this position for three years before retiring in 2017 and reopening De Simone Company Booksellers.
Because of his experience in both the book trade and rare book librarianship, De Simone consults with institutions about the development and evaluation of their library collections. He is the author and editor of a number of books and articles on the history of book illustration and early bibliography.
He is a member of the ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America), the ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), the Print Council of America, the Grolier Club, the Association Internationale de Bibliophilie, the American Printing History Association, the Bibliographical Society of America. He is also the Treasurer of the Antiquarian Book Seminar Foundation, a 501c3, which support the Colorado Antiquarian Books Seminar (CABS). Recently he has been appointed Secretary of Breslauer Prize for Bibliography by the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.
