Padova - Scardeone, Bernardino

Rara prima edizione. "Scardeone's history of Padua is particularly important for its transcriptions of epigraphs, descriptions of monuments, and chapter on artists such as Mantegna and Squarcione. Its woodcut of the city is 'the first accurate compilation of visual data on the city's buildings'". (Oxford Art on-line).
