Specialist Notes
Numbered copy no. 126 to “Mr. Innocenzo Domenico Giusti”, Author's signature in the half-title and publisher's stamp embossed on the title page and on each plate. A famous and sought-after work for its rich iconography, which first saw the light in Milan between 1817 and 1824 and was simultaneously translated into French, it immediately attracted the attention of the Florentine publisher Batelli. Giulio Ferrario (1767-1847), founder of the Società Tipografica de' Classici Italiani, together with Giovanni Angelo Borsa and Innocenzo Domenico Giusti, was director of the Braidense Library, to which he donated all his printed works and his manuscripts. Colas 1051.
