Vite de’ piu eccellenti pittori, scultori et architettori (book; author: Vasari, Giorgio, (1511-1574) ; published by i Guint...; published 1568; Getty Research Institute, Special Collections (Los Angeles, ...; 85-B23279; LC Call No.: N6922 .V32 1568)

Note: Revised, expanded version of the 1st ed. (Florence : Lorenzo Torrentino, 1550), including the addition of portraits. Vol. 1 contains pts. 1 and 2. Pt. 3 is divided into "Primo volume" and "Secondo volume," contained respectively in physical vols. 2 and 3; both have added t.p.'s. Inner woodcut t.p. border incorporates Medici arms; the work is dedicated to Cosimo de' Medici (dedication from 1st ed. is reprinted along with the new one for this ed.). Woodcut port. of Vasari appears on [superscript pi]B4v, v. 1, over a repetition of the t.p. view of Florence; it is repeated at the beginning of his own life on 6D1v, v. 3. On leaf 2Q4r, v. 2, Vasari writes that he designed the 144 artists' ports. that illustrate most of the lives, while the blocks were cut by "Maestro Christofano." Gathering 4R, v. 3, has 2 leaves rather than 4, though it is not so described in the register. Mortimer suggests that the gathering was shortened in order to begin the immediately following life of Michelangelo on the first leaf of a gathering, as it was intended that the life should also appear as a separately published offprint.
