Specialist Notes
Rare edition of this lexicon dedicated to Cosimo de' Medici. Brucioli undertook this enterprise in an attempt to be recalled to Florence after he had been exiled from it in 1522. Instead, it was Arlenio who was called to Florence, where he worked in the service of Torrentino. It is known that in the period immediately following the printing of the Lexicon, the Brucioli typography was involved in the accusation of clandestine printing of heretical works by Francesco Negri, Alfonso Valdes and Bernardino Occhino.
