Catalogue Note
This anonymously printed edition of the classic Roman love poets seems closest bibliographically to that printed by de Colines in 1534 (it has the same foliation, title and preliminaries) but is without the printer's device and imprint usually found on the title-page. It is possible that the title-page is a replacement or facsimile from a different (possibly a Giunta) edition.
