Catalogue Note
A close copy of the Aldine 1501 edition (see lot 210), but with some additional prefatory material. Tucci was probably more of a corrector than an editor, seeing as the text was copied straight from the Aldine edition.
Aldus and Filippo Giunta had been in conflict regarding privileges before; in 1502 Alexander VI confirmed Aldus's Venetian privilege as being valid throughout Italy, though in 1503 Giunta produced his first book with his imitation of the Aldine italic. Leo X, the Florentine who became pope early in 1513, seemingly confirmed Aldus's privilege but was petitioned by the Giunta to make a concession for them.
