DIOGÈNE LAËRCE (Pseudo-).

Libro della vita dei filosofi e delle loro elegantissime sentenzie. Florence, Jacopo di Carlo and Piero Onofri de Bonaccorsi, 1489. In-4 of [50] ff, fawn calf, triple framed with fillets bordering a large cold roulette, gilt fleurons at the corners, title and hollow medallion gilt in the centre, spine decorated with gilt fleurons, smooth edges (Modern binding). Very rare Florentine incunabulum printed in round letters. This Life of the Philosophers, wrongly attributed to Diogenes Laërce, is thought to be largely an Italian translation of Walter Burley's De vita et moribus philosophorum. Copy incomplete of the first blank leaf (a1) and the last one of the table (g6); leaves g3 and g4 repeated; repair to f. a2, affecting the text, and in the margin of a few leaves, without affecting the print; spotting and foxing.
