ANCIENT CLASSICS. [Fenice ; 1476.
HISTORIA NATVRALE DI. C. PLINIO SECONDO
TRADOCTA DI LINGVA LATINA IN FIORENTINA
PER CHRISTOPHORO LANDINO FIORENTINO
AL SERENISSIMO FERDINANDO RE DI NAPOLI.
PROHEMIO.
This proheme occupies 3 leaves and a half. It is followed by the
usual preliminary matter, described in the account of the preceding
impressions; which introductory pieces occupy 16 leaves. On the
recto of the following leaf, being the 21st from the beginning of the
volume, we read the commencement of Landino’s version of the
Naturalist, thus:
L MONDO ET QYESTO ELQVALE PER
altro nome Anoi piacie chiamare Cielo: elquale
intorno gjrando tutte lechose chuopre : E giusta
chosa credere che sia deita etherna 8c infinita: Ne
mai generata : Ne mai da douere perire. Ricerchar
8cc. 8cc. 8cc.
A full page has 50 lines. The titles to the chapters, as in the pre-
vious edition by the same printer, are uniformly printed in capital
letters. On the reverse of fol. 412 and last, of the text, we read this
imprint:
OPVS NICOLAI IANSONIS GALLICI
IMPRESSVM
ANNO SALVTIS. M. CCCCLXXVI.
VENETIIS.
Sardini, Storia Critica di Nicolao Jenson, &c. lib. iii. p. 40, notices
several copies of this edition xipon paper, and one upon vellum ;
which latter was in the Valliere collection—obtained from the library
of Gaignat. See Cat. de Gaignat, vol. i. n°. 1001. Cat. de la Valliere,
vol. i. n°. 1460, 1461. In the Valliere collection there were two
vellum copies, but one of them was imperfect: the imperfect one
selling for 360, and the perfect one for 780 livres ; the latter sum
being 10 livres less than the Gaignat copy was sold for. In the
M'Carthy collection, there is also a copy upon vellum; and a similar
one, of extraordinary size and beauty, is in the curious library of
Mr. Coke at Holkham. The present copy is upon paper, but in fine
condition. It is in russia binding.
