CAVICEO, Jacopo (1443-1511). Libro del Peregrino . Venice: Bernardino de Lisona Vercellese, March 1520. A scarce early edition of Caviceo’s tale of star-crossed Italian lovers, inspired by the ancient novel . Caviceo hailed from Parma, where he worked as a court historian and diplomat before he seduced a nun and was consequently banished. The story of Peregrino and Genevera, first published in 1508, was one of the most popular books of its time, appearing in numerous Italian, French, and Spanish editions. ABPC records only four copies in as many decades, three of a 1538 edition and one in 1976 for the 1516 edition. STC Italy I:389. Quarto (207 x 148mm). Woodcut title border (lacking final blank; some browning; worming throughout with neat repairs, mostly marginal save for last few leaves). 18th-century vellum (minor scuffing and wear). Provenance : Caroline Rutz-Rees (1865-1954, educator; bookplate).
