A. Castellesi. - De sermone Latino, et modis Latine loquendi - 1568

From Latin sermons, and the ways of speaking Latin. Recently purified from many defects, and restored to its original brightness. Lastly, Horace Tuscanella polished some passages; and in an orderly manner, the Italian-style expressions illustrated these Latin modes of speech, as Cardinal Hadrian of the Holy Roman Church explained. In Venice: at the heirs of Melchior Sessa, 1568. Card (7), 156; size 16 x 9.5 cm. The binding is in light variegated cardboard; a hole strikes the frontispiece and the following sheet; the rest of the pages are in order. On the frontispiece, a woodcut mark with, in a frame, a winged horse (Pegasus); in the background, a city. The author is Cardinal Adriano Castellesi (1461–1521), nuncio in England, who in this didactic work reports Latin classical terms and expressions, highlighting his culture and his solid knowledge of Cicero's language.
