Collation : [2 blank leaves; xl; 1044 pages; xiv; ii (publishers catalogue for Gaspar Schott); 1 blank leaf] This copy lacks: a usual half-title; pages 939 942; pages 945 946; pages 983 - 984; pages 987 990; pages1003 1006; pages 1009 - 1016 .

In Part I, there are 45 plates: 42 illustrating plates plus an engraved title-page, a portrait, a coat of arms, and the one plate from Part II bound in at p. 521. In Part II there are 20 illustrating plates, for a total of 65 plates. Title-page printed in red and black letter. This copy is still bound in what is presumed to be its contemporary full vellum binding. There is a small crack at the foot of the spine, otherwise the binding is very secure.

His name is stamped a second time in the margin of the engraved title page. Several of the plates have been mended and trimmed. Plate III of Part I lacks the left-hand fold-over.

In half vellum over 17th- or 18th-century woodblock printed paste paper, titled in manuscript on spine. Lower board ruptured near corner, subsequently rebuilt. Some leaves toned brown. Early ownership inscriptions and later bibliographical notes on front free endpaper and on rear pastedown. References: Adams F-182; Olschki, Choix de livres anciens, VI, 5817 This essay extolling marriage is an early artifact of modern ethnography, in that it poses as a survey of marriage customs through history and around the world. In true humanist fashion, Fausto mines the ancient historians for most of his material. So we find out that in Lacedaemonia (or, Atlantis), men who refused to marry were forced to run naked through the forum in the dead of winter, and that in Assyria, husbands were bound by law to obey… Read More

BASILEAE: APUD NIC. EPISCOPIUM IUN., 1558. In 16. Dim. 17x12 cm. Pp. 32 (n.n.)+350+2 (n.n.). Rara edizione del 1558 di quest'opera scritta da Cristophe Longueil (1488-1522) umanista francescano. Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità. Nella prima parte la sua vita, poi l'epistolario. Numerose note manoscritte all'interno. Marca editoriale all'ultima carta. Titolo manoscritto al taglio inferiore.
