    Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Folio (280 x 200 mm), 18th century brown half calf with title in gold on spine, boards covered with purple paper. Light marginal stains, the title-page mounted (slightly affecting the border at top), leaf 9 from a shorter copy, but generally in clean condition, with contemporary manuscript annotations on several leaves. Elaborate woodcut title-page (incorporating a portrait of Caporali and the date of publication), portrait of Conte Iano Bigazini on second unnumbered leaf, and 80 woodcuts in the text (derived from the 1521 edn), several full page; ff (iii) + 131. First edition of the noted translation of the first five books of Vitruvius work, executed by Giambattista Caporali. Characterized by a splendid iconographic apparatus, it was printed in the private typography founded by Count Bigazzini in 1535 in Perugia and which had a very short life. In the commentary on Vitruvius, the translation of Caporali occupies a prominent place both for the conceptual framework aimed at transferring the Vitruvian theory into contemporary reality and for the illustrations, partly derived from the Cesariano edition of 1521. Only the first five chapters of the Vitruvius' work were here translated, and the work wasn t completed. Fowler, 400; Cicognara, 706; Berlin Katalog, 1805; Mortimer Italian, 546; Sander, 7700.
