Catalogue Note
RARE. This is a copy of the Aldine editions of 1503 and October 1512. Filippo Giunta brought out two editions, one with the colophon dated November 1515 but without the introduction to Hebrew, and one without a colophon but with the introduction to Hebrew (in 4 leaves at the end). The dating to not before September 1515 comes from the mention of the September 1515 edition of Aristophanes in the preface by Bernardo Giunta.
