About this Item
FIRST EDITION, first issue with Propertius spelled incorrectly "Propetius" on t-p. Corrected t-p bound as the final leaf. 8vo (15,3x9,1cm), A-E8 F4 A-D8 E4 a-i8; not foliated. Italics, sporadic Roman letter, text in verses, small guide-letters. Title printed on centre of initial and final page. Imprint on recto of secondto-last leaf. Early ms. notes on t-p and colophon, of difficult interpretation (the second one looks like a cryptic autograph). Excellent condition: crisp and clean throughout, just a light water stain affecting partially the head of the first two gatherings. C18th speckled brown leather (French?), original endpapers; gilt spine with morocco title-piece, restored at caps. All edges marbled. An excellent copy. A nice copy of the first issue of the first Aldine edition, with the incorrect spelling "Propetius" on title-page. The work is dedicated to the book collector and scholar Marin Sanudo. Aldus's preface indicates a print run of 3,000 volumes for this work. BM STC, Italian, 160; Renouard 39:16; Brunet I, 1677: "Édition dont les beaux exemplaires sont rares et recherchés".
