  • The technical lexicon of the Pratica di Fabricare le Scene e Machine ne' Teatri di Nicola Sabbattini da Pesaro, Ravenna 1638 In 1638 a smart architect from Pesaro, Nicolò Sabbatini, wrote and published in Ravenna the first and complete handbook on stagecraft, light technics and scenography ever seen before: the Pratica di fabbricare le Scene . In this book all the stage knowledge, including the designing perspective and the construction of the machines to lift or lower heavy stuff for the representation, are illustrated and displayed very clearly. The aim of the author, as declared in the first pages named Lo stampatore al lettore, was to collect and transfer for every architect or stage maker, the art techniques and the skills of building and of organizing a stage form the very beginning of finding the adequate site for its setting, to the most complex mechanical devices produced to arouse marvel ad astonishment among the public. The book is completed with ninety figures and drawings to better explain the construction and setting process. In this talk the attention will be focused on the content of the handbook itself: on the way in which the author transfers his -and his coevals'- experience and competence on this practice, analysing in particular the language used and the terminology that has become -with the publication of this book- the elected , or better, the specialized terminology of stagecraft. The first results of the lexicological analysis will be illustrated herein. (literal)
