See Sander, I, 899 - Essling 2141 - Brunet, I, p. 773: “Edition peu commune, encore assez recherchée” - Gamba, 1068 (in note): “The publisher Biagio Bonaccorsi writes that in the previous printings there were some of these compositions imperfect and filled with many errors. They were reprinted twice in Venice, Zoppino, 1522 and de' Gregorii, 1524. They are Eclogues, Songs, Sonnets, spiritual Laudi, Frottole and translations of Mosco's Bucolics, of an Elegy of Propertius, of some Psalms of David, of the " Dies irae", etc.” Full brown leather binding, cords, calligraphic title, embossed frame on the plates. Adams, I, p. 112. “Girolamo Benivieni, Florentine poet (1453-1542). A follower of Ficino, he composed a Latinised allegorical poem entitled "Amore" and expounded the master's theory of divine love in a song to which Pico della Mirandola added an extensive comment. Having become a fervent follower of Savonarola, he repudiated the past, turned his Platonic-Petrarchan love poems to a religious meaning, and wrote lauds and songs of lively religious and ascetic inspiration ("Opere", 1519)". Dict. Treccani, II, p. 203.
