VITRUVIUS Pollio, Marcus. de Architectura Libri Dece traducti de latino in Vulgare affigurati. Commentary and Italian translation by Cesare Cesariano. Como: Gottardo da Ponte, 15 July 1521.
2° (430 x 270mm). Woodcut printer's device on title and penultimate leaf, numerous large historiated and foliated initials, 117 woodcut illustrations, 9 full-page. (Old staining throughout, generally to the blank margins only, but towards the beginning and end also affecting the text, light worming, marginal in the main, but with occasional loss of characters on leaves Q1-Z8.) Old vellum (covers painted yellow, two small splits in spine).
FIRST CESARIANO EDITION, THE FIRST PRINTING OF VITRUVIUS IN ITALIAN and the first into any vernacular language, with 'tuta lopera' heading on final leaf. The translation was completed by Benedetto Jovio da Comasco and Bono Mauro da Bergamo, with Augustino Gallo and Aloisio Pirovano as general editors. An address to the reader on Z8r states that Cesare di Lorenzo Cesariano (1483-1543) left the work uncorrected and that it was completed by Jovio and Mauro. Many of the plates are by Cesariano and the three plates showing plans and elevations of Milan cathedral are apparently the first measured representation of Gothic architecture in a printed book. Adams V-904; Fowler 395; Mortimer, Harvard Italian 544.
