Venice: [Geronimo Scotto], 1555. Oblong 8 o (142 x 206 mm). Woodcut title vignette, 85 woodcut calligraphic plates, historiated initials, ornamental headpieces. (Some light spotting, short marginal wormtrack in 7 leaves touching border.) 19th-century red half morocco by Boulier (light rubbing to joints and corners). Provenance : Giuseppe Marini (collation note); F.A.W. (gilt lettered on upper cover); "BB" (bookplate); acquired from Goodspeed's Book Shop, 1970. Re-issue of the enlarged 1554 edition of one of the most popular writing books of its time, printed in over 16 editions in the 16th-century.
