• Giovanni_Giacomo_Penni abstract "Giovanni Giacomo Penni (fl. 16th century) was an Italian physician, born in Florence.There is not much biographical information regarding the origin, life and work of Penni. There are some works attributed to Penni, and the analysis of those same works seems to picture a man that was in touch with the royal court house and the high society circles of the time.The frontispiece of his work writes \"Forma & Natura & Costumi de lo Rinocerothe stato condutto importogallo dal Capitanio de larmata del Re & altre belle cose condutte dalle insule nouamente trouate\"\" (English: The Shape, the Nature and the Way of the Rhinoceros brought by the Captain of the Portuguese King's Armada and other beautiful things brought from the new insulars). This work was published on July 13, 1515 (about 10 cm × 9,5 cm) and depicts the oldest representation of the rhinoceros (Dürer's rhinoceros) since Roman times, of a specimen known by its Gujarati name of Ganda, presented to King Manuel I of Portugal, by Afonso de Albuquerque in May 1515.This manuscript is written in Gothic and the text displayed is in columns with eight sets per page in the first five pages and only three sets in the last one. There is only an identified surviving copy of this work and it is held at the Bibliotheca Colombina in Seville, Spain, under the library code signatura: 6.3.29(32)).This surviving copy is absolutely marvellous because, along with being one of the kind, it contains the handwriting and signature of Fernando Colón. Apparently he had purchased the book and, on the bottom of the last page of the text, he took note of the date and the place of his acquisition: \"Este libro costó en Roma medio quatrain por nouiembre de 1515 / Esta registrado 2260\" followed by his signature. (English: This book cost, in Rome, a half a quarter in November of 1515 / It’s registered 2260). The last page prints \"Impresso in Roma in casa de maestro Stephano Guilireti a di tredici de Lu ion el mille e cinquento e quindici. Jo. Ja. De Pennis faciebant Rimas\".Stephano Guilireti was the printer of the Penni’s work about the Portuguese rhinoceros or \"Ganda\" like it was called at the time.As a physician we do not know the talents of Penni, but as a writer or poet we can say that he wasn't very gifted. The lack of talent is so notorious that Penni, himself, mentions it at the last poem (the XXI poem) on the Rhinoceros pamphlet (at left the original text and at the right the English translation): Dirá qualcun che questi versi a caso Someone will say that these verses casually si sieno stati fatti e senza ingegnio have been done and without any genius e ch'io vituperi le muse e l'pegaso and that I insult the great Muses and Pegasus mostrando vile et inetto il mi' egegnio showing my vile and ineptitude ingenious (....)continua (...) continuesOne can also notice that the poem was published only two months after the arrival of the rhinoceros at Lisbon. Since the European communications in 1515 were very precarious this is extremely strange. This strange fact is more dubious when we discovered another pamphlet (with 8 pages), published in Rome at the same time, entitled The Form, Nature and Habits of The Elephant, probably published regarding Hanno, Pope Leo X's elephant, a gift of King Manuel I of Portugal on the Pope's coronation, a couple of years before.This pamphlet also has a rudimentary woodcut of an elephant. And, like in the Rhinoceros pamphlet, there is only one surviving copy of the Elephant pamphlet.One can also see, when reading Penni's poemmeto, that there are some fundamental historical inaccuracies. These three factors may lead some investigators to conclude that Penni somehow copied the work regarding the Elephant pamphlet, by an unknown artist, and adjusted it to the rumours, not all correct, that were spreading in Rome regarding the Portuguese \"Ganda\".".
