Susio's Rare Attack on Duelling: One Copy in the Last 30 Years. An important and beautifully printed attack on the practice of duelling which has become quite rare on the market whereas the second edition of 1558 shows up with some frequency. Thimm who had never seen a copy himself refers to one in "Captain Hutton's Collection" and calls for a folding plate -- in obvious error for among the 10 copies located by OCLC in institutions not one contains any plates; nor did the one dampstained copy which appeared at auction in 1996 and which was mistakenly presumed to be incomplete. <br/>Susio 1519-1583 Renaissance man of letters eminent physician humanist and poet dedicates his book to Henry II King of France who passed an ordinance against duelling. The subject of duelling and its legal ethical and social implications was a hot one in the latter half of 16th century Italy and Susio's work is among the most important of several to appear in his day Mutio il Duello 1550; Attendolo il Duello 1560; Pigna Il Duello 1560; Gallese Contra l' uso del duello 1565; et al.; and the Venetian house of the Giolito family seems to have printed many of them including this. A very desirable copy of a rare and important book on the subject. Thimm p. 280 mistakenly calling for frontispiece; Levi & Geli not in Adams; not in Brunet Apresso G. Giolito de Ferrari, et Fratelli unknown books
