JUVENAL. Satyrae XVI. -PERSIUS. Satyrae VI. Aldine 8° (160 x 97mm). Collation: A-G8 H10 (A1r title Iuvenalis. Persius, A1v printer's dedication to Scipione Forteguerri (1466-1515), A2r-H10r Juvenal's satires, H10r colophon Venetiis apud Aldum, H10v blank); a8 b4 (Persius's satires, b4r colophon Venetiis in aedibus Aldi Mense Augusto MDI, corrigendum and a note on the spelling and Greek derivation of melos, b4v blank). Italic type 1:180. 30 lines and headline, initial-spaces with guide-letters, no foliation. (Two small round wormholes in the text.)
PREFACE: In his dedicatory letter to Scipio Carteromachus of Pistoia, first secretary of the Aldine New Academy, whose statutes he would draw up in Greek a year later, Aldus offers him these satires in small format, so that they can be carried around more easily, learnt by heart, and read by all. The vices they condemn are no less prevalent now than when they were written. These verses learnt in his youth spent at Rome will be as familiar to Scipio as the fingers on his hands.
BINDING: early-19th-century French ivory parchment boards gilt, floral roll on covers, spine tooled in compartments, gilt edges, marbled endpapers. PROVENANCE: contemporary 4-line inscription below colophon washed out; small circular unidentified bookplate of a dog chewing a bone
FIRST ALDINE EDITION. The fourth book in the series of portable volumes, after the Virgil, Horace, and Petrarch (lot 27). Even today the first and second editions (cf. lot 32) are often confused; thus, all three UCLA copies undoubtedly belong to the second edition, the first presumably sophisticated with a colophon-leaf from the original edition (Murphy 36-36a, 802). In addition to the typographical differences as a result of resetting, described in Fletcher p. 28 (his collation of quire a in the second edition is incorrect, however), the two editions are easily distinguished from their paper. The two copies of the first edition in this sale (lots 30-31) each contain two stocks: three hillocks with cross surmount watermark, AB cornermark; no watermark, A cornermark. A single paperstock makes up this sale's copy of the second edition (lot 32): cardinal's hat watermark, no countermark. Isaac 12767; Dionisotti & Orlandi XXXI; Sansoviniana 48; Laurenziana 48a; Adams J-770; R 29:6
