About this Item

There were a number of illustrated editions of Caesar in the sixteenth century, beginning with the Aldine edition of 1513 Mortimer, 96) and the Giunta edition of 1514. These illustrations clearly draw on those from earlier editions, though they are not identical to any that we have located. The present edition is said to have been owned by Queen Victoria.

Contemporary limp vellum, soiled and with a few wormholes. Edges stained blue. Minor marginal worming, text with minor old soiling. Contemporary ownership inscription at foot of title-page, old small ink drawing on a blank between the text and the index. A very good copy. A scarce edition of the esteemed Italian translation by Agostino Ortica Della Porta (active 1512, exact dates unknown). OCLC notes four copies in America: Berkeley, Duke, Columbia, and Yale. Not in Adams or the BL Italian STC. Seller Inventory # 16664
