Dedicated to Antonio Mocenigo. Francesco D'Asola's preface includes a wonderful praise of Pontano's poetry. The man of letters was very much appreciated by the dedicatee, who kept Pontano's portrait in his private library. D'Asola also tells that the dedicatee's father, Aloisio, who served the Republic as ambassador, brought an old manuscript of Pliny's letters from France to Venice, where the editor and his kin Aldus amended and curated the text for publication. The present book includes also some works by earlier authors which were edited by Pontanus. Renouard, p. 85 - 1518 (no. 10): "sans dérangement dans les signatures. Les deux derniers feuillets non chiffrés contiennent la souscription et l'ancre"; EDIT16 CNCE 37595. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1627922824266
