Descripción

A fair copy of the unauthorised 2nd edition of Manili's Astronomicon with Scaligeri's commentary. This edition was completed with an additional section of notes by Francisco Ivni Biturigis and was issued without Scaligeri's approval (he issued his own 2nd edition shortly afterwards). The work is in 3 parts: the original Astronomicon in 5 books; Scaligeri's commentary; and the additional Biturigis notes bound at the end. This copy is bound in an old card binding with an added spine of some tape-like material and a largely unreadable paper label. The binding is sound but very worn. The front endpaper has some old ink scribbling, a crossed out signature and some numbers. The stitching is splitting between the front endpaper and the title page, which a couple of pasted over areas and some old writing. Contents: title with decorative printer's device; dedication 3pp; poems 4pp (all present but some loose); blank; index 4pp; text pp 1-136 in 5 books; finis; corrige; index 5pp finis; 3 x blank; title to Scaligeri's Commentary with blank verso; text pp 3- 415 with in text and full page diagrams and tables; finis; blank verso; index 11pp finis; 2nd index 2pp finis; 3 blank pp; half title with blank verso; preface pp 3-7; text pp 8-131 with blank verso; index 3pp. The contents are clean but generally toned and some sections are very browned although the paper is not degraded and the text is legible. In Scaligeri's commentary p 13 and 385 have lost a corner tip. There is a small hole in the final index leaf. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
