Third edition of this fine Italian translation of Virgil s works, beautifully illustrated, by the three sixteenth-century maximum experts of the Latin poet: Giovanni Fabrini, Carlo Malatesta, and Filippo Venuti; also provided with their commentaries. In this beautiful work were used the woodblocks of the 1519 edition, which were modelled on the illustrations of the celebrated Strasbourg version printed by Gruninger (1502).
