GIUNTA PRESS Florence 1519. POMPONIUS MELA: DE SITU ORBIS, et autres.
GIUNTA PRESS 1519. PADDLE, POMPONIUS. De situ orbis. [bound with] SOLINUS, (CAIUS) JULIUS. Polyhistor. [bound with] ANTONIUS AUGUSTUS (Emperador). Itinerarium provinciarum. [bound with] VICTOR, PETER. De regionibus urbis Romae. [bound with] DIONYSIUS PERIEGETES. Poem de orbis siti Prisciano interprete. Florentiae (Florence, haeredes Philippi Iuntae) 1519.
8th (about 154x90 mm., binding160x105 mm.). (1) -223, (1) pp. Last leaf with woodcut printer device. Contemporary vellum slightly worn, manuscript annotation on spine, speckled edges. A few old marginal annotations.
Brunet IV, 801. Graesse V, 401.
Reprinted from the rare Aldine edition of 1518 which was edited by Francesco d'Asola. Amongst these classical texts are the earliest known description of the ancient world written in Latin (Mela, 1st century A.D.), the provincial itinerary of Emperor Antony, and the ancient geography of Solinus. “De regionibus urbis Romae liber” by Poetro Vettori (1499-1585) is an important Renaissance survey of Roman topography.
Provenance: Sven Borgström was born in Malmö in 1927 and worked as a chemist in Stockholm, Malmö and Lund. His fine library, which was built up over many years, consists mainly of older books dated from the 16th century to the late 18th century. His book-collecting began, as it perhaps should, with an incunabula. Borgström's interests included printers, book bindings, book illustrations, and he was interested in history, travel and maps. As a result of previous coin collecting, the subject of numismatics was also of interest in his library. Sven Borgström died 95 years old.Show more
