Superb Humanist 'Sammelband' with the collected works of three classical authors, in a fine contemporary Strasbourg binding, cf. Krisby 147. Typographicaly the three works are equally harmonious, with the text set in a well-sized Roman type, surrounded on three sides by the commentaries in a more compact type, in the first and third work including fine Greek types.
The first work consists of the fifth-century pseudo-Acron scholia and the commentaries by the third-century scholar Porphyrion, and by two 15th-century humanists, Christophoro Landino and Antonio Mancinelli. The Persius appears here for the first time with the notes by three 15th-century Italians, Giovanni Britannico, Bartelomeo Fonti, and Giovanni Bonardi. The present Reggio Emilia imprint of the Juvenal is the second edition of Britannico's commentary, and is so rare that it was unknown to Schweiger.

With 18th-century manuscript paper title label on spine; manuscript titles on fore-edge; 2 bifolia slightly foxed. Splendid copy, from the library of the Fürstenberg family.
