    Condition: Fine. [Venezia; Venice; Venise; Venedig; Venecia] Venetiis, [Manuzio; Aldus Manutius; Alde Manuce; Aldo Manucio] «in aedibus Aldi», [1502 (gennaio)] «mense ianuario MDII», legatura in piena pelle marrone; titolo in tassello rosso in oro al dorso; lavorazioni in oro al dorso a quattro nervi; tagli spruzzati sui toni del rosso; fogli di guardia muti, in ottavo, pagine: [304]. Prima edizione aldina. Ottimo esemplare (fisiologici segni del tempo, concentrati in prevalenza alle prime alle ultime carte, come normale). Firma di possesso di antico proprietario al frontespizio. Terzo «libellum portatile» stampato da Manuzio, che segue gli «Opera» di Virgilio e quelli di Orazio stampati meno di un anno prima. Dedicato all'umanista veneziano Marino Sanudo (amico di lunga data di Manuzio e importante collezionista di testi antichi), il volume raccoglie i tre poeti elegiaci latini per eccellenza, accorpati già nell'antichità e stampati spesso insieme dagli albori della stampa. Venice, «in aedibus Aldi», [1502 (January)] «mense ianuario MDII», full brown calf binding; title lettered gilt to red label to spine; gilt patterns and four raised bands to spine, mottled edges; endpapers blank, octavo, pages: [304]. First Aldine edition. A fine copy (slight age-wear, especially to the pastedowns and to the first and last leaves, as is normal). Private ownership inscription to the title page. First edition, first issue, with the title page reading «Propetivs» [Propetius], later corrected to «Propertivs» [Propertius]. Manutius's third «libellum portatile» follows Virgil's «Opera» and Horace's «Opera», printed less than a year earlier. Dedicated to the Venetian humanist Marino Sanudo (a longtime friend of Manutius and an important collector of ancient texts), the volume presents the three preeminent Latin elegiac poets, whose works had already been grouped together since antiquity and have often been printed together since the dawn of printing. Sulpicia's poems (which appear, as they had traditionally, embedded within the third book of Tibullus' works) are the only surviving poems in Latin written by an Ancient Roman woman.…
