VITRUVIUS POLLO, Marcus. Vitruvius iterum et Frontinus à Iocundo revisi. Florence: Philip Giunta, 1513.
2 parts in one volume, 8° (154 x 90mm). Italic type. Title with woodcut historiated border, 139 woodcut illustrations, decorative initials, Giunta device at end. (Small hole in title slightly affecting border, some waterstains.) Late 19th-century morocco-backed mottled boards, red speckled edges. Provenance: College of St. Peter's, Montfort; marginal annotations in Latin in a 17th-century hand; short Latin/Italian glossary on verso of final leaf.
Joannes Tacuinus published the fourth, and first illustrated edition of Vitruvius, in 1511. The illustrations in this edition are reduced copies of those in his Venice edition, and both editions are by the same editor, Fra Giocondo. Cicognara considers this later edition the more correct. Adams V-903; Berlin Kat. 1799; Brunet V, 1327; Cicognara 697; Fowler 394; Sander 7695.
