From“New Scientific and Curious Dictionnary concerning the Sacred and the Profane, by Gianfrancesco Pivani, Venice, Benedetto Milocco, 1746-1751. From the Tome VIII, a set of 31 plates concerning “Uses and Costumes, Religious Rites of American people". In Perfect condition, including passepartout. Pivati Gianfrancesco Pivati's Nuovo dizionario is a bold contribution to Italian cultural debate in the middle of XVIII 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 predominated troughout 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”. Ref: Silvano Garafalo, in: Frank Kafker, Notable Encyclopedias, Oxford 1981.
