Basilea, Nikolaus Episcopius, 1560. In 2°. Marca tipografica al frontespizio e in fine, al verso del frontespizio veduta della città di Padova incisa in legno, qualche antica nota marginale, sulle prime carte aloni di umidità e pochi piccoli strappi marginali, lievi fioriture, legatura del secolo XVII in pergamena rigida, dorso liscio, titolo manoscritto, tagli a spruzzo. Ex libris cartaceo al contropiatto Giacomo Manzoni (politico, 1816-1889)
Rara prima edizione. "Scardeone's history of Padua is particularly important for its transcriptions of epigraphs, descriptions of monuments, and chapter on artists such as Mantegna and Squarcione. Its woodcut of the city is 'the first accurate compilation of visual data on the city's buildings'". (Oxford Art on-line). Adams S 612
