Description from the seller

18th-century binding in full rigid parchment, mute.

2 white cards, 107, [1], 2 white cards

A very rare and valuable edition of the well-known printing house of Toscolano, which produced only a few works by Latin and Italian classical authors, all dated between 1520 and 1525.

Dedication by Gaetano Tizzone to the noblewoman Dorotea Gonzaga, Marchioness of Bitonto. Text in small, very clear italics. Rectangular browning on pages 6-7, otherwise an example in good condition. Complete and usable.
