Dublin Core
Title
Pietro Bembo, Gli Asolani, Venice: Aldus, March 1505.
Description
Two issues of the first edition of Cardinal Bembo's dialogue on the nature of love, both in Aldus' "pocket edition" format bound in contemporary Venetian black morocco over wooden boards. The larger of the two is the first issue, complete with the dedication to Lucrezia Borgia, which was suppressed for political reasons in the second and later issues, and with the uncommonly found errata leaf. The second issue lacks the dedication and the errata leaf.
