MACHIAVEL (Nicolas de).
Do the operation. S.l., 1550 [Switzerland?, between 1609 and 1619]. 5 parts in large volume in-4, soft vellum (17th century binding). Gamba, n°623-5. First of the five editions known as dellà testina because of the small woodcut portrait of the author on each title page. A double-page woodcut plate for the seven books of the Arte della guerra. There are five different editions of this famous collective edition, all dated 1550 but actually published between 1609 and 1660 approximately. Only the first of them, which is rare, seems not to have been printed in Geneva. A large margin copy, placed in an antique vellum binding. The first two leaves are missing, the first one containing the general title (Tutte le opere) and the second one containing the privilege and the table. Marginal moulding on a few leaves, some scorched notebooks.
