TRISSINO, Giovanni Giorgio. La Italia Liberata dai Gotthi. Vol.I: Rome: Valerio & Luigi Dorico for Antonio Marco Vincentino, May 1547; vols.II & III: Venice: Tolomeo Janicolo, October 1548.
3 volumes, 8° (154 x 94mm). With final blank in vol.III. Volume I with woodcut border to title, vols.II and III with woodcut golden fleece and dragon device at end, one folding woodcut plan of Belisario's camp (torn and repaired), one folding plan of Rome. (Volumes I and II lack final blanks, vol.I: G7 with repaired tear in lower blank margin, vol.III: rrr8 with repair to outer lower corner.) 18th-century French red morocco gilt, g.e. (spines of vol.I and II faded, joints weak), the three vols. within a single slip-case.
FIRST EDITION of a major epic poem which took 20 years to compose. A later issue with anti-clerical verses removed from vol.II with the result that Ss4 verso is blank. The work is printed using the new letters proposed by Trissino, of which the differentiation of u and v is the only remaining legacy. Gamba 1713; cf. Adams T-954 (vol.II dated November).
