LACTANTIUS, Lucius Coelius Firmianus (c.250-c.325). Opera. Venice: Andreas de Paltasichis and Boninus de Boninis, 12 March 1479. Chancery 2° (295 x 201mm). Roman and Greek type, initials and paragraph marks in red or blue, some printed or manuscript guide- letters, s2.5 and 3.4 reversed in binding, last quire missigned, R1 inserted backwards (verso to recto). (First leaf darkened, edges of first and last few leaves a little frayed, small wormholes affecting a few letters, ocasional light dampstaining.) 19th-century red roan gilt, red sprinkled edges (rubbed). Provenance : contemporary annotations -- Paris, Seminary of St. Sulpice (19th-century) -- Walter Goldwater (bookplate; sale Swann Galleries, 5 December 1985, lot 2) -- Ned J. Nakles (sale Christie's New York, 17 April 2000, lot 108). Ninth edition. The only book printed by Andreas de Paltasichis, a Dalmatian, in partnership with Boninus de Boninis of Ragusa. The colophon of this edition, although dated 1478, acknowledges Doge Mocenigo, who did not enter that office until 1479; presumably a roman I was accidentally omitted from the date.
