[Venetr i 

 One of the earliest and most important works on calligraphy, giving a great variety of spocimeiu of li:. 

 printing characters, etc., all beautifully executed. 



The above edition, the second and probably the rarest of all (which consists of 24 unnumbered 11., slgnatun's A - i m 

 fours), is excessively rare, and was unknown to Brunet and Graesse. Riccardi mentions this ©lition, but Kiv<"^ .i vt i y 

 faulty copy of the title, and moreover mistakenly sUtes that the .signatures consist of A— E only. The only c.ij,y he 

 quotes was that of the Biblioteca Communale of Reggio. The first edition of 1524 was known alike to Brmal, tiraosae, 

 and Riccardi. 



A copy of the edition of 1527 fetched £10. at auction in 1808. 



4727 [TAGLIENTE (Hieronymo)] Opera che insegna a fare ogni Ragionk de Mii: atia, & a 

 pertegare le terre con arte giometrica Intitolata Componimento di Arithmetka ; printed in 

 gotfjic letter, title printed in white on black ground, with large woodcut on reverse^ and numerotut 

 curious woodcuts in text, and arithmetical diagrams, 16mo. hf. bound, rough edges (half the title 

 missing, but a TALL AND remarkably clean copy), very rare, £7. 7* *. /. aut t. n. (? 1528) 



Tlie date is given on the title, but a portion of the latter being torn off, only MDX is still discernible. Owing to the 

 extreme rarity of all the works of both Taglientes, no complete bibliography of their works and editions ha.s ever been 

 given, and it is therefore impossible to identify this, or the edition given below. It consists of 88 leaves, or signatures 

 A to Z in fours, the last 1. being blank. 



4728 Another Edition, printed in got^ic letter, with numerous woodcuts and ornaments, 



16mo. boards [wanting title, and with a small hole going through the larger part of the work) ; 

 very rare, £5. lOs ' s. I. aut a. 



The collation of this edition agrees exactly with the one above, but the different spelling, as well as some wocxlcut 

 ornaments varying from those in it, mark it as a distinct, and judging from internal evidence, earlier edition. 



According to Cicogna (in 'Saggio di Bibliografia Vencziana ') the author wrote the work at the request of his kinsman 

 Giovanni Antonio. It resembles to some extent the latter's Opera Nova (q. v. supra).
