Information

Milan, for Valerio & Girolamo brothers from Meda Adi 6 July, 1551. In the 4th. Brand on the title page and on the colophon of the Vigilance, woman leaning on a column with an apple in her right hand and a snake in her left, frame with the motto: Neque vi neque dolo, contemporary binding in loose parchment.

Specialist Notes

La Nice is a bold and complex interweaving of "tragic" mythological fables (the loves of Adonis and Venus, of Acis and Galatea) united by the theme of death and the metamorphosis of the hero.
