One of the great texts of the Enlightenment presented in spectacular style by the Milanese printer Luigi Mussi, who had apprenticed with Bodoni and absorbed his design sensibilities. Mussi appears to have been one of the earliest exponents of the "limited edition" a marketing incentive that became more common in the late 19th- and early 20th-century. This grand folio was produced in a numbered edition of 50 copies on "velino reale" paper (out of a total run of 60), numbered and signed by Mussi.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
