M.L. Vitrvuio Pollione De architectura

Book cover
Place and printer from colophon, 2C6r Second ed. in Italian. The text was edited by Francesco Lucio Durantino from the 1521 Como ed.; see Fowler. However, Mortimer notes that the 1521 text has been thoroughly reviewed (Mortimer, R. Italian 16th cent., 543-545) Title in red and black, within ornamental border with foliated dolphins. Initials (some historiated). The ill. are close copies of those in the Venice ed. of 1511 printed by Giovanni Tacuino, the two sacks in the ill. of the mill on N5v retaining Tacuino's device and initials ZT. The layout of text and ill. is generally close as well; cf. Mortimer Signatures: 2A-2B 2C A-N O Index, 2A2v-2C5v Errata, 2C6r Fowler Binding: later decorated paper, half vellum. Author, place and date written on spine. Centered on front pastedown is bookplate of Giovanni Muzio. Inscriptions on t.p. have been effaced
