LIVIUS, Titus (59 B.C. - 17 A.D.). El Compendio de las catorze decadas, translated from the Latin by Francisco d'Enzinas. [?Antwerp: ca. 1550]. 8° (298 x 205mm). 84 leaves (?of 85, perhaps lacking \Kp\k1). Woodcut initials. (Some repairs to margins, a few reaching into text and affecting a few letters.) Crushed crimson morocco gilt by Brugalla. A rare edition of Livy. Worldcat locates just two copies: Biblioteca Nacional de España, and National Library of Sweden -- apparently both, as here, issued without a title page, although the collation of the BNE copy lists a preliminary leaf not in this copy. Palau 139132, citing this copy.
