A CRISP COPY of the first complete edition of Poliziano's works, containing the first use of Hebrew type by Aldus on H8. Poliziano (1454-1494) was tutor to the sons of Lorenzo de' Medici before becoming chair of Latin and Greek at the Florentine Studio, and was renowned for his mastery of the Greek language. He had begun preparing his letters for publication himself, with the assistance of the Bolognese humanist Alessandro Sarti, but not published in Bologna at that time as the printer, Platon Benedetti, died in 1496; Aldus stepped in and completed the project.
