About This Item
THE MOST COMPLETE EDITION
8vo, pp. [8], 596 [i.e. 604], [2], lacking last blank. Roman letter, little Italic. Printer's device on t-p, woodcut initials, capital spaces with small guide letters, and few headpieces. Wide-margined copy in 18th-c. stiff vellum, green morocco label with gilt title to spine. Sporadic very light marginal foxing. Excellent copy.
Edited by Daniele Barbaro, the first edition was printed by the heirs of Aldus in 1542 without the consent of the author. It was reprinted 5 times by them in '43, '44, '46, '50 and '52. Giolito also issued it in 1558. According to Brunet, the present Meietti edition is the best and most complete. Speroni's "Dialogues" contain philosophical discussions on various humanist topics, which are expounded through the method of unplanned and unmoderated dialogical speech.
Brunet, V, p. 488; Edit16 CNCE 30949 (Var. A).
