[Opera] S.l., Aldus, s.d. in colophon: Venice, Aldus Manutius and Andrea Soceri, January 1515. In-8, fawn half-basan with corners, spine decorated, green title coin, speckled edges (Bound in mid-19th century ). Renouard, Aldus, pp. 74-75. Last work printed by Aldus Manuce, who died in February 1515. Renouard believes that this second Aldine edition is far superior to the very rare first in-4 edition of 1500. The copy belonged to a sixteenth-century humanist and bears his handwritten ex-libris at the foot of the title: Jean de Boysson (Boyssoné or Boyssoneus), born about 1505 and died about 1559, jurisconsult, poet and maintainer of the Floral Games of Toulouse; the latter, linked with the principal scholars of his time, especially Etienne Dolet, Rabelais and Clément Marot, was condemned for his Lutheran tendencies by the parliament of Toulouse. Light-coloured moulding on the lower edge of several notebooks, worm gallery at the bottom of the first notebook (sometimes filled in) with loss of letters and words. Rubbing at the binding.
