About the Item

The Sacrifice of Savage in Quitchi - Manitù is a fine etching, hand-watercolored, realized by the engraver Gianfrancesco Pivati . This original print, representing an important rite of American indigenous: a sacrifice of the savages in Quitchi-Manitù , is from the series New Scientific and Curious Dictionary concerning the Sacred and the Profane , Tome VIII, Plate L, published by Benedetto Milocco in Venice in 1746-1751, concerning the Uses and Costumes, Religious Rites of American people . Perfect conditions, including passepartout (49 x 34 cm). Gianfrancesco Pivati Pivati's New Dictionary is a bold contribution to Italian cultural debate in the mid-18th century. The wide, useful, and interesting knowledge it contains is often taken from Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Spanish and English, as well as Italian. “ The subjects treated are well researched and generally presented in a simple, direct style (…) ”. Pivati’s liberal voice was out of the chorus in the context of the rigid conformity predominating throughout the Italian peninsula. “ He appears to be committed to Reason and Science as opposed to simple Faith, but he tries to avoid any direct challenge to the dogmatic teachings of the Church ”. Reference : Silvano Garafalo, in: Frank Kafker, Notable Encyclopedias, Oxford 1981.
