Edition Notes
Imprint from colophon.
Printer's device on leaf m8 verso.
Initial spaces with guide letters.
First edition.
Known in two states. In the first state a dedication "A Madonna Lucretia Estense Borgia" appears on leaves a1v-a2r; in the later state these page are blank. During printing, a feud had arisen between the new pope Julius II and the Duke of Ferrara. Neither Bembo nor Aldus wishing to present a book paying homage to the wife of an enemy of the Pope, the dedication was suppressed in the remaining copies and in later editions, see EDIT 16.
For a detailed discussion of the different states of this ed., see Clough, C.H. "Pietro Bembo's Gli Asolani of 1505." MLN, v. 84 (1969), p. 16-45 and Clough, C.H. "The printing of the first edition of Pietro Bembo's Gli Asolani." MLN, v. 87 (1972), p. 134-139.
Signatures: a-m⁸ n².
Errata on leaf n1; leaf n2 is blank.
