Specialist Notes
A beautiful and celebrated edition printed in a limited run for Teresa Colonna's wedding to Alessandro Torlonia : each sheet is watermarked with the couple's coats of arms. It is the best and most complete collection of rhymes by the renowned poet (1490-1547). A remarkably fresh and splendid example in its original artistic binding.
