Catalogue Note
Première édition, dite "à la testina", d'après le portrait éponyme qui se trouve gravé et répété six fois sur les titres de chaque partie.
On connaît cinq éditions à la Testina, toutes parues sous la date fictive de 1550 et hors d'Italie, du fait que les œuvres complètes du Florentin étaient proscrites. Selon Nicole Bingen, la première pourrait provenir d'une officine parisienne ; les quatre autres étant genevoises et postérieures à 1620.
Bel exemplaire en vélin de l'époque. Mouillure, deux galeries de ver.
