Description: Coccaius Merlinus (= Folengo, T.). Teofilo Folgoro (1491–1544), Poetae Mantuani Macarronicum, Opus Merlinicocaii. Everything in its purest form, in my opinion, is the Magistrum Acquarium Lodolam optimale redactum, with one notable exception: ZANITONELLA. Quae Tonelli arga Zaninam tractat de amore. Excerpts from XIII. Sonolegiis, VII. Ecclogis, and a Strambotolegia are shown. XXV. Macaronicis, tractans de gestismagnanimi & prudentissimi Baldi; PHANTHASIAE, Macaronicon, diuisum. MOCHAEAE, Tractans decruentocertamine Muscarum & Formicarum, Facetus liber in tribus partibus diuisos. Horatius de Gobbis, LIBELLUS, Epistolarum, & Epigrammatum, ad varias persons directarum, Venice, 1581, 541, (9) p. There are 27 engraved text images and a woodcut title-vignette Original gilt calf backstrip matched the blindstamped calf and was rebacked. Dimensions: approximately 3 by 5.5 inches; printer's tool on the title; woodcut text vignettes; etched initials. Excellent inside quality; the front cover is barely attached (hanging by a single cord). Latin text.
