747Ambitions as a Publisher Serlio’s Settimo Libro (nr i.), both of which would actually be printed in 1575, the privilege mentions five other works.52 Nr ii. is Serlio’s reconstruction of the Roman Castra as described by Polybius and an adaptation ‘ridotta in una cittadella murata’, and complemented by a treatise on warfare by the French general Guillaume du Bellay.53 Nr iv. is a corpus of ancient inscriptions ‘col- lected from all over the world, in Latin, Etruscan, Greek, Arabic, Chaldean’ re- produced and explained in seven volumes.54 Nr v. is a book which masks as an album of ancient Roman equestrian statues, ‘both male and female’.55 This might indeed have included images directly derived from the Marcus Aurelius on Capitol Hill and from Roman relief sculpture, but the description rather sug- gests that it consisted largely of prints after contemporary designs for festival costumes in the antique manner, such as designed by Strada and his colleagues at the Imperial court. That this was indeed the case is confirmed by the recent identification of a volume of festival designs from Strada’s workshop in the Kupferstich-Kabinett in Dresden, the title of which is identical to this item.56 52 Doc. 1574-04-30. The Serlio and Caesar volumes are described as follows: ‘i. ii settimo libro d’architectura di Sebastiano Serglio Bolognese, nel qual si tratta di molti accidenti, che possono occorrer al architetto in diversi luoghi et istrane forme de siti e nelli restau- ramenti o restitutioni di case, e come habbiamo a far per servirci degli altri edifici e simili cose, come nella sequente pagina si lege. Nel fine vi sonno agiunti sei palazzi con le sue piante et fazzate in diversi modi fatte per fabricar in villa per gran prencipi del sudetto authore, italiano et latino’; ‘iii. Cai Julii Caesaris commentariorum libri viii, quibus adi- ecimus loca precipua delineata, in quibus ipse Caesar castrametatus est adversus varias gentes, ex antiquissimo codice manuscripto, quos nunc primum in lucem damus cum doctissimis Henrici Glareani annotationibus, tam latino quam italice’. 53 Ibid.: ‘ii. Castrametatione dei Romani prima nel modo, che essi accampavano per tende et padiglioni, dimostrata et dipoi ridotta in una cittadella murata per Sebastiano Serglio Bo- lognese, designata fuora del sexto libro di Polybio historico, italiana et latina, nel cui fine ne habbiamo gionto l’instrutione sopra Ii fatti della guerra, descritta dal signor Gulielmo de Bellai, signor de Lange, francese e latina’. 54 Ibid.: ‘iv. Antiquarum inscriptionum, quae toto fere orbe Latinae, Hetruscae, Graecae, Arabicae, Caldeae in marmoribus aut aereis monumentis sculptae caelateve fuerint et Hieroglyphicis notis signatae, tomi Septem’. 55 Ibid.: ‘v. Equestrium statuarum tam virorum quam mulierum formae elegantissimae una cum vestimentis ipsorum ac artificiosissime pictis et arte Phrygionica ingeniöse elabora- tis, quibus olim induebantur, item cataphractorum equorum cum eorum phaleris orna- tissimis, quemadmodum olim Romani et Graeci in bellis atque etiam pompis publicis et ludis curulibus circensibusque usi sunt, iuxtaque ipsos satellitum precedentium quoque eiusmodi vestibus indutorum formae; his quoque larvarum atque vestimentorum histri- onicorum, quibus antiquitus in tripudiis et saltationibus noctu utebantur, varia genera adiuncta sunt’. 56 Discussed above, Ch. 4.3.5.
