This edition of StrozziiPoetae Pater et Filius, was written by Tito Vespasiano Strozzi, a Renaissance poet who died in 1505.  This work was compiled and printed by Aldus Manutius, the man responsible for creating portable and accessible books available in Latin and Greek.  

Strozzii Poetae Pater et Filius was printed in Latin, and published in two parts, bound together in one book.  The end of each part features the famous colophon trademarked by Manutius: a dolphin wrapped around an anchor. This edition has been beautifully rebound and also features a gorgeous bookplate the previous owner had inserted onto the front cover.
