At the end of the volume Milan, Giovanni Angelo Scinzenzeler, 1520. In 2°. Title page within an elaborate architectural frame, numerous and valuable woodcuts in the text, decorated drop caps, text surrounded by the comment, woodworm hole for about 20 leaves affecting the printed part, reddening on the first and last leaves, cut on the external side margin from XLVII to LX, parchment binding of the century. XVIII, on the spine smooth leather label with author and title in gold, blue edges, small defects.
It contains the Georgics, the Bucolics, the Aeneid. The edition is due to the da Legnano brothers, whose family of booksellers commissioned and sold the works in their shop "under the sign of the Angel". For printing, they used different typographers depending on the type of text: for those that required particular attention to the illustrations, as in the present case, they turned almost exclusively to the Scinzenzeler. Sanders 7663.
