De viris illustribus. Florence: Dominican convent of nuns at S. Jacopo di Ripoli, 1478.
Chancery 4° (211 x 140 mm). Collation: a-d8 (a1r text, d8v colophon). 32 leaves. 27 lines. Type 4:105R. 2- to 4-line initial spaces with guide letters. (A few discreet marginal paper repairs.) Modern blue morocco janséniste, marbled endpapers, gilt edges.
De viris illustribus is known in two versions; all 15th-century editions print the independent, shorter version consisting of 77 chapters, which is commonly attributed, as here, to Pliny the Younger. The shorter version was known from the 14th century, and over 150 manuscripts, primarily Italian, survive from the 14th and 15th centuries (L.D. Reynolds, Texts and Transmission, pp. 149-53). The end of chapter 77 (from ...ad Ptolomaeum Alexandriae, here d8r, line 19) is a later interpolation. The text has also been attributed to Suetonius and Aurelius Victor (see M.M. Sage, "The De Viris Illustribus: authorship and date", Hermes 108, 1980, pp. 83-100).
This edition was printed at the press established within the Dominican convent of nuns of S. Jacopo di Ripoli. The sisters acted as compositors, assisted in press-work by Johannes Petri, Nicolaus Laurentii and others. The day-book of the the press, kept by Fra Domenico da Pistoia, the procurator who was responsible for the founding of the press, still exists.
