Beschreibung

Octavo, text in two columns, A-Z8 2A-2F8 2G6, collating complete. Hardcover, bound in later speckled calf, the spine gilt-tooled. The binding has some old repairs, the joints cracked but holding. The text-block is generally bright and unmarked, but a dampstain affects the last few leaves, which have some corner repairs; the title has a few small stains. Retains the bookplate of Italian literature scholar Arthur John Butler. Francesco Berni Was an Italian comic poet (c. 1497 - 1535). This, his most extensive work, is a refashioning of Matteo Maria Boiardo's chivalric poem, L'Orlando innamorato. It was first published at Milan in 1542. This is a second edition, issued by Giunta, with the first 80 octaves revised. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers C-1B-E
