AUGUSTINUS, Aurelius (354-430, Saint). De civitate Dei, in Italian. Anonymous translation from the Latin. [? Venice: Antonio di Bartolommeo Miscomini, ca 1476, not after 1483].
Chancery 2o (274 x 190mm). Collation: a-z A-G10 H12 (a1r text, -H12 blank); 2a12 (-1 blank, 2r chapter table, 12v blank). 322 leaves (without the blanks). Roman type 4:78(80). Contemporary rubrication (initials and paragraph-marks). (Leaves B7-8 and sheet D2.9 inserted from another copy and remargined, C7 almost detached, some worming affecting letters at the end, staining in upper margins.) 18th-century sheep-backed boards (joints defective). Provenance: [Sotheby's New York, 25 May 1983, lot 127] -- purchased from John F. Fleming, New York, 10 June 1983.
FIRST EDITION IN ITALIAN. It is not quite clear whether this edition was printed at Antonio di Bartolommeo's Venetian press in the late 1470s or at his Florentine press in the early 1480s. The paper and type (closest to the 1476 Virgil state) point to Venice. HC *2071; GW 2892; BMC VII, 1136; IGI 982; Goff A-1248.
