Bookseller Notes

First published in Venice around 1531, this is a relatively early edition of a text that went through numerous editions, and translations, including one into English, 1565, by Barnabe Googe. 'The initial letters of the first 29 lines of the first book "Aires" form an acrostic of the author's pseudonym Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus, said by Facciolati to be the anagram of Pier Angelo Manzolli, of Stellata in Ferrare. Also attributed to Antonio Flam, and others' (note attached to the Cambridge copy in COPAC).
