POLYBIUM. Polybius the Greek historian translated for M. Lodovico Domenichi. Vinegia, Giolito De Ferrari, 1545 8vo; 152x95 mm. Binding in full stiff vellum. Gold title on gusset to spine. Blue cuts. Typographic mark to title page and last page. Pp. [12], 322, [2]. Xyl initials. Fine copy. First Italian edition of the Renaissance vulgarization of Polybius done by Lodovico Domenichi (1514-1564) famous polygraph of Piacenza origin to whom we owe many other translations of classics, dedicated to Gerolamo Pallavicino marquis of Corte Maggiore. Of the Polybian work, perhaps the pinnacle of the historiography of antiquity for rigor in sifting sources and for reconstructive vigor, only the first 5 books have come down to us, as well as Byzantine excerpts from Books 1-16 and 18. The work narrates events from 220, the beginning of the Second Punic War, to 146 B.C., the year of the fall of Corinth and Carthage. 8vo; 152x95 mm. Full stiff vellum binding. Gilt title on spine. Blue edges. Printer's mark on the title page and last page. Pp. [12], 322, [2]. Woodcut initials. Nice specimen. First Italian edition of the Renaissance vulgarization of Polybius carried out by Lodovico Domenichi (1514-1564), a famous polygrapher of Piacenza origin who was responsible for numerous other translations of classics, dedicated to Gerolamo Pallavicino, marquis of Corte Maggiore. Polybian's work, perhaps the pinnacle of ancient historiography for rigor in the scrutiny of sources and reconstructive vigor, only the first 5 books have survived, as well as Byzantine extracts from books 1-16 and 18. The work already narrates events from 220, the beginning of the Second Punic War, to 146 BC, the year of the fall of Corinth and Carthage.
