LUCANUS, MARCUS ANNAEUS. Annei Lucani Bellorum ciuilium scriptoris accuratissimi Pharsalia: antea temporum inuria difficilis ac mendosa. Nouissimae autem a voro docto expolita: & apprime plusque bis mille locis emendata: scribentibus Ioanne Sulpitio: & Omnibono Vicentino... Additis insuper de nouo grecis: que vbique deerant. [Venezia, Melchiore Sessa il Vecchio] (Impressum Venetiis: summa diligentia per Augustinum de Zanis de Portesio: impensis attamen & opera solertissimi viri Melchioris Sessae, 1511 die IIII mensis Iunii).
Folio (300x206 mm.). (4), 1-205 (lacks last blank) ll. Title printed in red and black ( mended tears, inkstain, old signature) with Sessas woodcut device, 10 woodcut illustrations (partly later coloured) and 10 woodcut initials (also partly later coloured).
Near contemporary vellum, worn, spine in six compartments, lettered in ink, partly damaged. The colophon with woodcut printer's device on last page painted over (old painting). Throughout with wormholes in text. A few leaves mended in lower outer corner. About 10 leaves with larger ink- or other stains, about 6 leaves browned. Old annotation on inside of upper cover that this is the 1485 edition, which is obviously wrong.
Second edition printed by Zanni (the first printed in 1505), but the first edition with the woodcuts.
