Renouard, Bibliographie des impressions et des œuvres de Josse Badius Ascensius, II, pp. 353-354, no. 6.
New edition of the works of Pietro Crinito (1465-1504), a famous Italian literary figure of the 15th century, disciple of Politan and friend of Pico della Mirandola and Paolo Giovio. He earned his living as a tutor to the children of the leading Florentine families, but died before the age of forty.
This edition brings together his three main works. The first, De Honesta Disciplina, is his most famous work, in which he discusses education, laws and institutions in the classical era. The second, De Poetis, was the first work to recount the lives of ancient Latin poets, from Livius Andronicus to Sidonius Apollinaire, and was first published in 1505. The third text, Poematon, contains his own neo-Latin poetry.
This superbly printed edition was published by Josse Bade and includes those he issued successively from 1508 onwards. It bears his fine mark on the title, surrounded by a wood-engraved historiated decoration of several blocks. The text includes numerous beautiful lettering with a sifted background.
A copy in a modern binding with the original boards decorated with cold-stamped roulettes.
Most of the decoration on the boards has been removed. Very good condition inside, with a few old reading marks in the margins. Small marginal wetnesses on the edges of the last leaves.
