From the Tome VIII, a set of 25 plates concerning “Uses and Costumes, Religious Rites of Asian 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. Italian Version: Carnovale degli'Indiani Chaimato Huly, la Festa delle acque dei Peguani Acquaforte acquerellata a mano. Tom. VIII- Tav. XXIX Imag. Dim: cm 25.5 x 18; Foglio Dim: cm 37.5 x 23.8; Passepartout Dim: cm 49 x 34 Meravigliose acqueforti, acquerellate a mano (due rappresentazioni sulla stessa matrice) che mostrano un tipico funerale reale e un monastero dei talapini, antica popolazione della Birmania. Dal Nuovo Dizionario Scientifico e Curioso Sacro e Profano di Gianfrancesco Pivani. Dal Tomo VIII, una collezione di 25 tavole riguardante "Usi e Costumi, Riti religiosi dei popoli d'Asia". Venezia, Benedetto Milocco Ed., 1746-1751. In Perfetto stato, incluso passepartout. Pivati Gianfrancesco Il Nuovo Dizionario di Pivati rappresenta un coraggioso contributo al dibattito culturale nell’Italia di metà Settecento. Il suo ricco e interessante studio sugli usi e costumi, sempre di ampio respiro e presentato in stile semplice, attinge al mondo ebraico, greco, latino, francese, spagnolo, inglese e italiano. La posizione liberale di Pivati è di sicuro fuori dal coro e si colloca in un contesto di rigido Conformismo predominante nella penisola italiana. “Sembra affidarsi alla ragione e alla scienza e opporsi alla semplice fede, ma allo stesso tempo cerca di evitare un’aperta sfida agli insegnamenti dogmatici della Chiesa”. Ref: Silvano Garafalo, in: Frank Kafker, Notable Encyclopedias, Oxford 1981.
