Pontano, Giovanni Gioviano (Pontanus, Joannes Jovianus) 
His "Horti Hesperidum libri duo" appears to 
have been first published at Venice, 1505 (Cf. 
Bradley Bib, 3:496), probably in his "Opera" 
(Venetiis, in aedibus Aldi, 1505). which may 
be the first edition of his collected verses, ' 
The Library of Congress has his "Opera omnia" 
(venetiis, in aedibus Aldi, 1513-19)* There 
is another edition, Venetiis, apud Aldura, 1533. 
and one Basileae, apud Cratandrura, 1536* Sava- 
stano, in his critical study of Pontano's work 
and times, in Ann. R. Staz, Sper. Agrumic, e 
Pruttic, Acireale, 6:77”93 (1922), mentions a 
m.odern edition of his "Carmina", edited by Be¬ 
nedetto Soldati (Firenze, Barberia, 1902) 
There was also apparently a separate issue 
of "De hortis Hesperidum libri duo, quibus agi- 
tur de Citrio fructu et arbore", published Flo- 
rentiae, Filippo Giunti, 1514 (Cf. Saccardo, 1: 
I3I; Seguier, p,l50; Haller, 1 ; 257 » Nicoli, 
p.316)
