Description
Venice Pietro di Nicolini da Sabbio, 1538. 8vo. (6 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches), late 17th or early 18th century vellum over stiff boards with a red morocco title label; edges stained yellow. A few early marginal notes in brown ink; a very nice copy.Title-page with a large woodcut historiated border, the books 191 foliated leaves are nicely printed in italic type by Paolo Manuzio, whose name is absent from the volume. The Aldine Press had closed in 1529, upon the death of Andrea Torresano, and was subsequently reopened by Paolo Manuzio in 1533 who managed it for the heirs of Aldus and Torresano until 1540, when the heirs of Torresano began printing on their own, and the Aldine shop resumed printing under their own imprint: Aldi Filli. During the period 1533-1540 editions were issued using the imprint: Heirs of Also Manuzio & Andrea Torresano. In addition, they occasionally printed books, sometimes unsigned, for other printers and publishers, as here.The text of Delle Guerre Esterne was translated into Italian by Alessandro Braccio. Appian of Alexandria lived during the reigns of Trajan, Hadrian and Antonius Pius. He had an active political career and in retirement he turned to writing history, completing a history of Rome in 24 volumes (of which nine volumes survive complete, seven others in fragments). He is best known for his observations of military matters. An uncommon Aldine edition anonymously printed during the interregnum of the great house.See: Renouard. p. 116 no. 3.
