About this Item

Only copy of this finely produced publication of the Comino Press in Padua, founded by the brothers Volpi.

For many years he was a professor of rhetoric and philosophy at Padua, and author of Latin poems and other works. From this celebrated press he issued excellent editions of the classics in very small editions. Seller Inventory # 1229
