[412]. De Cultura Ingeniorum.
[413]. Lib. xvi., 150 folio pp.
[414]. “De Poesi et Pictura” is the title to which he calls attention, but to which he does not fully work up.
[415]. 4to, Venice, 1646. There are earlier and later editions. Tassoni, who published this first, I believe, at Rome [Carpi?] in 1620, had preluded it (Modena, 1608) with a smaller volume of Quisiti.
[416]. He meddled boldly with politics, and I have a little modern edition of his Filippiche contra gli Spagnuoli, &c. (Ferrara: Le Monnier, n.d.)
[417]. Modena, 1609. I have not yet met with this.
[418]. Attention was first recalled to Tassoni in recent times by M. Hippolyte Rigault in his Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes. But I was not myself introduced to the Pensieri by that excellent book, and the things in them which seem to me most interesting are not quite those which struck M. Rigault.
[419]. This is referred to, in the extract from Leone Allacci prefixed to the 1646 ed. of Tassoni, as libellus Patavii editus. Tassoni seems to have replied under a pseudonym and pretty savagely (magis aculeatis dentibus).
[420]. Eight volumes, in 16 parts, of a not small quarto (Venice, 1643). This is one of the many books for the opportunity of studying which, without burdening shelves and lightening purse, I am indebted to the Library of the Faculty of Advocates.
[421]. Venice, 1612-13.
