APPIANUS (ca. 100-ca. 170). Historia Romana (Pars I). Translated from Greek into Latin by Petrus Candidus Decembrius. Scandiano: Peregrinus de Pasqualibus, Bononiensis, 10 January "M.CCCCLCXV" [1495]. Chancery 2 o (296 x 200 mm). Collation: A-M 6 N 8 (A1r letter from the editor to Pope Nicholas V, A1v proem, A3v text, N7v colophon, register and printer's device, N8 blank). 79 leaves (of 80, without the final blank). 42 lines and headline, printed side-notes. Type: 23:110R. 4- to 7-line initial spaces, some with printed guide letters. Woodcut device (Kristeller 253). C1r blank except for the marginal note, indicating a gap in the manuscripts. (Last leaf dampstained and soiled and with 2 or 3 short marginal tears, occasional light marginal foxing, paper flaw to K3 affecting a few letters.) 18th-century French quarter mottled sheep and green-mottled vellum boards, smooth spine gilt, edges speckled blue and red (covers slightly bowed, bookplate removed from front pastedown). Provenance : Parma, Bibliotheca Regia (engraved circular bookplate on last leaf, largely removed typographic book label on first leaf) -- Count Giacomo Manzoni (1816-1889) (booklabel on front pastedown, pasted down over ?Parma shelf-mark label). Third edition, the first of Part I printed separately, and THE FIRST BOOK FROM THE ONLY 15TH-CENTURY PRESS AT SCANDIANO. Peregrino Pasquale worked at Treviso in 1482, and then at Venice from 1484 until August 1494. He is recorded as living near Scandiano in December 1494, and may at that time have been employed by Franciscus de Mazalibus at Reggio Emilia, who had printed an edition of Part II of the Historia Romana in October of that year (see lot 153). The two editions, often found bound together, share the same type, which appears in no other editions, and the same paper with flower-in-circle watermark. Pasquale's edition is uneven in its press-work; he may have been forced to use inexperienced local workmen. Only two other books printed by Pasquale at Scandiano survive, from 1499 and 1500 (with Gasparo Crivello), both texts of Count Matteo Maria Boiardo, Count of Scandiano and author of the Orlando innamorato , who had died in December 1494. Records survive of an edition of the latter by Pasquale, commissioned by the Count's widow and completed by September 1495, but no copies survive. Variants are known of sheets D1.6, D3.4 and E1.6; this copy corresponds to BMC main entry (IB. 36201a). HC(+Add) 1310; BMC VII, 1118 (IB. 36201a and b); BSB-Ink. A-653; CIBN A-484; GW 2292; Harvard/Walsh 3585-86; IGI 765; Pr 7325; Goff A-930.
