Notes
Ill. by Girolamo Muziano and by Raphael and his students Giulio Romano and Giovanni Polidoro.
First edition.
T.p. exists in two states, one of which includes this bookseller statement: Si vendono in Piazza Nauona da Gio. Battista Rossi milanese.
Adams also identifies another edition (C1628) published by the same printers in the same year. In this edition (Adams C1627) the decorated initial in the dedication occupies 6 lines; in the other edition it occupies 11. In this edition the final page is numbered correctly; in the other it is misnumbered 34.
Printer's device with anchor and dolphin on t.p.
Signatures: A-F⁴.
Possibly sometimes issued with "Historia ceu verissima a calumniis multorum vindicata", 22 further pages following the index (cf. OCLC). 320 individual scenes are numbered in the plates, presumably corresponding to explanations in Chacón's text.
Woodcuts in text: device, ornamental initials, tail-piece.
Includes index.
Purchase supported by the Elise and Wesley Wright, Jr. '51 Marquand Book Fund.
