INCUNABULA
PRINTED AT SANT’ORSO.
1 AENEAS SYLVIUS PICCOLOMINI (PIUS II). Historia de duobus
amantibus (Euryalo and Lucretia). N. p. d. (Sant’ Orso, Giovanni di
Reno, 1475).
4to. Roman type, 25 lines, 34 numb. leaves with sign. Rubri-
cated, initials supplied in red. Old MS.-vellum. Frs. 2500.—
Hain-Cop.* 218. Proctor 7146.
An extremeiy rare edition of this romance, printed in a very curious,
small Roman type, attributed by Proctor to Giovanni di Reno at Vicenza. This
printer worked there from the year 1475*
Pellediet no. 150 describes a copy of this edition at Ste.-Genevieve bound
together with another incunable (Hain 12894) which has the full colophon of
Johannes de Reno at Sant’Orso, dated 1475. This book has the same types
as our incunabulum and therefore it is certain that this has been printed at
Sant’ Orso by Johannes de Reno. It is possible that he continued printing at Vi-
cenza already during the last months of 1475« We know at first a product of
him printed at Vicenza with the date 1476.
Aprecious edition of this romance, very populär in the 15th Century
written in the style of Boccaccio.
Excellently preserved copy, very large and clean.
No copy in U. S. A. acc. to Census.

humetem. Treviso, (Gerardus Lisa), 1475-
4to. Gothic type with Roman capitals, 25 lines, 56 numb.
leaves without sign. Rubricated, with an initial supplied in red and
blue with pen drawn Ornaments. Old MS-vellum. Frs. 750.—
Hain* 177=176. Proctor 6464. Cat. Hawkins 311.
First dated edition, of some typographical interest, as the minus-
cula of the type (3*) used here are Gothic and the capitals are Roman.
This letter by Pius II addressed to the sultan of Turkey MahommedH,
is of the greatest historical interest. The letter is dated: Siena I46O and is
written beiore the council at Mantua.

books at Treviso. He is the first printer of this town and began printing
there in 1471.
