LIVIO, Tito (59 BC-17 A.D.). T. Livius Patavinus Historicus duobus libris auctus cum L. Flori Epitome. Mainz: Johann Schöffer, 1518-1519. First edition of the monumental history of Rome by Tito Livio complete of the book XXXIII here for the first time printed; Johann Schöffer, based on a manuscript found in a monastery of Mainz, reinterpreted the missing text and also recovered the last chapters of the book XL, making this edition the actual "editio princeps" complete of the production of Liviana. Erasmo's foreword from Rotterdam (1466-1536) also attributes to Johann Fust (ca. 1400-1466), a partner of the father of the printer Peter Schöffer, a decisive role in the invention of mobile printing, giving the edition a further interest in the history of printing. The numerous xylographic initials are traditionally attributed to the circle of Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543). The copy is also enriched by numerous ancient marginal notes. Folio (325 × 210 mm). Frontespizio within rich storied xylographic frame, repeated to the second title that precedes the text; xylogram frame with dedicatory coat of arms, Cardinal Albert of Brandenburg, on the dedicate card, numerous initials xylographs, at large margins and clean (shorter Pp case, probably coming from other volume, file Aa erroneously linked after the file c (after This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
