[Incunabulum - Astronomy]. Manilius, Marcus. Astronomicon ad Caesarem Augustum. Milan, Antonio Zarotto, 09.11.1489. In 2nd (298 x 197 mm); [60] papers. Guide letters for initials (small flaws.) Modern vellum binding with gold title to smooth spine, green boards.
Very rare first critical edition of Astronomicondi Manilius, edited by Stefano Dolcino with no passage at auction for over fifty years! In the dedicatory, the editor specifies that he conducted his work on ancient codices and corrected it in no less than "trecentis locis," leaving instead unchanged the passages "quae autem ambigua videbantur."
