Specialist Notes
RARE AND VALUABLE EDITION OF A ILLUSTROUS ORIGIN: FROM THE LIBRARY OF THE BOLOGNESE POET AND HISTORIAN ANNIBALE MARESCOTTI.
Paganini, active in both Venice and Toscolano in the 1920s of the sixteenth century, had already published a series of small-format editions of the classics (Horace, Pomponio Mela, Ovid, Petrarch) in 1521, and in 1526-27 continued the program by adopting the quarto, still using its elegant semi-cursive font. The woodcuts are copied from previous Venetian editions. The frame block to the title page is in eight pieces, the corner separated from the sides, and was first used by him in 1526 for an edition of Ovid's Metamorphoses.
Italian BM/STC, p. 481; Sander 5307; see Italian Mortimer 340.
