Riguardo questo articolo

A very scarce collection of Virgil's works. Being the Eclogues, Georgics and his epic, Aeneid. With extensive notes in the vernacular Tuscan language and the original text presented in Vulgar Latin. A very scarce edition of Virgil's poems, particularly in such a well preserved condition. Virgil was an ancient Roman poet of Mantua. His Eclogues, Georgics and Aeneid are three of the most famous poems in Latin literature and his reputation holds him as one of the greatest poets that came from Rome's literary prowess. This work is a useful example of Vulgar Latin or colloquial Latin. With commentary and editorial notes by Giovanni Francesco Fabrini, Carlo Malatesta and Filippo Venuti. All were Italian grammarians and linguists. Fabrini began his studies in Florence before moving to Rome. He wrote a work on the Latin language called 'The Treaty of Interpretation of the Latin Language by way of Tuscany'. Venuti was known for his compilation of a Vulgar Latin dictionary. He met Fabrini in Tuscany and they formed a partnership whereby they vulgarized classical texts. Their translations of the Aeneid was first published in 1575 and their Bucolics and Georgics were also issued separately before being compiled together for this work, which features Carlo Malatesta's commentary. With occasional woodcuts to pages. Leaf Z1 is mispaginated at 184 when it is actually 177. A fascinating Vulgar Latin translation of Virgil's works with an extensive commentary, and well preserved in a seventeenth century binding. In a contemporary limp vellum binding. Externally, sound with several marks and spots to the boards. Small loss to the extremities and to the head and tail of spine due to rubbing. Slightly heavier spots and marks to the rear board. Internally, firmly bound. Contemporary inscriptions to the title page. Scorch mark to pages 17-20 to the top margin from a candle burn, with a small loss to text. A few light chips to the extremities. Evidence of worming to the top of the gutter to a large portion of the work, not affecting text. Further worming to the top outer corner of pages 32-53 not affecting the text. Worming to the gutter of pages 69-92 affecting the text in places, no more than ten words per page. Pages are slightly age toned, particularly at the centre of the work. Scattered spots and occasional tidemarks to pages. Tidemarks are mostly limited to the top and bottom of pages. Good.
