List of Books with Ownership Marks of Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este Just three of the six known volumes relate to entries in these book lists. Approximately 165 volumes are summarily mentioned in a post-mortem list of the Cardinal’s property in one of his Roman palaces. Around 98 were listed when an inventory was made in 1550, and between 150–200 volumes when one was taken at Tivoli in 1555. When the Guardaroba maggiore recorded the Cardinal’s property in 1548, prior to his return to Italy after fifteen years at the French court, one hundred books and manuscripts were counted. The ongoing investigation of his “Libri di Guardaroba” which has uncovered so far three book lists and deepened our knowledge of the Cardinal’s bibliophile interests, does not yet allow an estimate of the total number of books in his possession. A list of these volumes is given below.Īs one of the wealthiest cardinals of the time, a voracious collector of antiquities and works of art of all kinds, and from a family with a strong tradition of bibliophily, Ippolito presumably collected a large library. Fumagalli’s L’arte della legatura alla corte degli Estensi, a Ferrara e a Modena (Florence, 1913) could trace none, and only six volumes have since been recognized: three bear his armorial insignia, and three have presentation inscriptions lettered on their bindings. Yet books with any distinguishing mark of Ippolito’s ownership are very rare. His arms appear on some bindings, impressed in gold from one or the other of two stamps. The library of Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este has largely disappeared from surviving book lists and inventories we learn that he kept in his Roman palaces and at the Villa d’Este books and manuscripts luxuriously bound in silk and velvet of various colors, some with silver, gold, or enamel ornaments, and housed in purple silk or white leather bags, as well as bindings in diverse leathers and materials ( capretto, turchino, corame, carta pecora, cartone bianco), colored red, brown, and black. In the centers of the covers are the quartered arms of Ippolito II d’Este (1509–1572), the second-born son of Duke Alfonso I of Ferrara and Lucrezia Borgia, appointed Archbishop of Milan in 1519, aged 10, and in 1538, elevated to Cardinal (Tre gigli d’oro, aquila imperiale bicipite nera). It is decorated to a panel design, with the outer border impressed by solid tools and inner border filled with a chain pattern. This copy is in a deluxe goatskin binding by Niccolò Franzese (Nicolas Fery), a Roman binder who served four popes, binding volumes for their private libraries as well as for the Vatican Library. His preface addressed to Pope Paul III is dated: Idibus Ianuarii MDXXXV. Bembo’s holograph and corrected manuscript of the Epistolae Leonis Decimi is Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vat. Romam missi.
