RARE FIRST ITALIAN VERNACULAR TRANSLATION OF VEGETIUS'S DE RE MILITARI
FIRST EDITION. Small 8vo, ff. [100], with a few little woodcuts in the text. Imprint from colophon. Woodcut historiated initials and capital spaces with guide-letters. Errata: p. [197]-[198]. Ms. annotation at foot of final leaf. Some initial and final light foxing. Generally clean and crisp. Contemporary limp vellum with ties. Early title handwritten at head of spine. Bookseller's label on upper pastedown (Libreria Antiquaria Mediolanum, Milan). An excellent copy.
First edition of the Italian translation, unknown to Cockle, who records the 1525 edition only. Dedication to Federigo Gonzaga di Bozzolo by the translator Tizzone Gaetano di Pofi. Few secular works of Antiquity were as popular in the Middle Ages as Vegetius' De re militari, or Epitoma rei militaris, the broadest ancient manual of Roman warfare.
