Pronostico e p[ro]fecia d[el]le cose d[eb]be[n]o succere giiralme[n]te maxime d[el]le guere come[n]tiate per magni potentati [con]tra Venetiani. adi.xx.d[i] zenaro. M.v.x. [Ferrara: 1510].
Small 4° (195 x 138mm). Large woodcut on title, one woodcut initial. Brown Janseniste morocco by Trautz-Bauzonnet. Provenance: the Maglione-Essling copy (pencil inscription on endpaper).
EXTREMELY RARE, apparently the only other recorded copy being in the Trivulziana. This anti-Venetian propaganda, in the form of a rhyming prognostication, was printed nearly two years after Julius II had combined the forces of Europe at Cambrai against Venice and some months before his crushing victory at the battle of Agnadello when, for a short time, the frontiers of continental Venice were pushed back to the lagoon. The woodcut on the title-page reflects the political situation where all the main protagonists can be seen: Julius II at the head of the page, the Emperor Maximilian at the foot, Louis XII on the left and Ferdinand of Aragon on the right. In the middle, crowded round Venice in her lagoon, are all the Italian city members of the League. Snader 5923.
