VERY RARE POST-INCUNABLE EDITION of this poem by Cleophilus, an Italian historian and poet who died in 1490, with comments by the humanist Josse Bade. It includes a preface by Josse Bade dated 7 October 1503.
Nice typographical mark of Denis Roce on the title (cf. Renouard, n°1005).
A copy rubricated in yellow, containing some handwritten notes of the time.
Charming unsigned binding but characteristic of the artist Marie-Françoise Dumur.
Light staining on the first two leaves.
