Information
Venice, Pietro Quarengi, 1508. In 2nd. Woodcut drop caps, humidity marks, full leather binding with dry impressions from the 18th century. XIX.
Specialist Notes
Rare edition of The Flying Eagle, attributed in ancient times to the famous humanist L. Bruni and whose authorship remains controversial. It is a large "eagle's eye" compendium, according to Dante's symbolism relating to Justinian (Pd. VI), of the history of the world starting from its mythical origins, a reworked version of the Fiorita of Italy by Guido da Pisa. The work is largely built on references and quotations from Dante's Divine Comedy, which provides a real textual substrate; the other fundamental literary model is Virgil's Aeneid.
