ARISTOTLE. L'ethica ... ridotta in compendio da Ser Brunetto Latini. Et altre traduttioni, & scritti di quei tempi, Lyon: Giovanni de Tornes, 1568. 4, woodcut initials and headpieces (slightly browned throughout), 18th-century limp paper-covered boards (covers with a few wormholes, rubbed); Noel Pinelli, bookplate.

Bound in at the end is a 24-page manuscript of an Aristotelian commentary dealing principally with the problems of the transcription of the original manuscript. This appears to be a copy of a manuscript once belonging to Giovanni Vincenzo Pinelli (1535-1600), whose collection was already by his contemporaries considered to be unique. Adams A1842; BM STC Italian, p. 46; Cartier 526; Index Aureliensis 108.542.
