Description

(1502). LUCAIN. LUCANUS. Venice, Aldus, April 1502. In-8 of 140 unnumbered leaves, brown calf, cold-stamped boards, gilt and chased edges with the motto PATIENS TERIT OMNIA VIRTUS. (period binding). First Aldine edition of Lucan's Pharsalus after the incunabulum of 1493, based on the commentaries of J. Sulpicius with the corrections Aldus was able to collect from the manuscript, and in his preface he announces having received them from Antoine Mauroceno, to whom this volume is dedicated. The last leaves contain the life of Lucan, followed by a passage from Tacitus. The motto inscribed and chiselled on the edges seems to belong to the Protestant humanist and theologian Thomas Venatorius (1488-1551). Spine rebound, small erosion in margin of first few leaves, copy ruled in red ink, some handwritten annotations. (Renouard, p. 33) (USTC, 762306).
