Author: Tomasz Treter Title: Theatrum virtutum D[omini] Stanislai Hosii Editio princeps: Rome 1588 in a publishing house of Giovanni de Cavallieri Project of copperplate engravings: Tomasz Treter Printmaker: Tomasz Treter Access: manuscript Short description: Theatrum virtutum D[omini] Stanislai Hosii was printed for the first time in Giovanni de Cavallieri's workshop in Rome in 1588. The collection consists of one hundred of copperplate engravings projected and prepared by Tomasz Treter, together with eponymous inscriptions. Treter, a hardworking secretary of cardinal Hozjusz, wrote also Horatian, Latin odes in various meters ascribed to particular engravings; all those elements were ment to create an emblematic unity. Poems appeared thanks to Franciszek Cezary only in 1685 and 1686, however these two editions disregarded engravings. The original Tomasz Treter's manuscript comprising one hundred five original illustrations was preserved with the odes written to some of the illustrations. The reproduction is taken from that manuscript. The collection of engravings and odes composes an apologetic vita of cardinal Hozjusz as a hero of Counter-Reformation. In this narration precious biografic data interweaves with conventional, allegorical representations of virtues that mirror a mature iconological imagination. A Polish translation made by Wiktor Steffen and titled Rewia cnót Stanisława Hozjusza [Stanisław Hozjusz's Virtues' Parade]came out in 2004. TR |
