3 volumi in-4, pp. [2], 216, [6], 219-316, [6], 321-423, [3]; 331, [1]; 314, [2], completo della carta bianca O1 nel terzo volume. Mancano il f. bianco F12 al volume II e l'ultimo al volume III. Ritratto dell'Alfieri su rame inciso da Raphael Morghen. Ex libris manoscritto al primo titolo. Splendido esemplare a pieni margini con barbe. Bella legatura in stile, perfettamente realizzata in pelle, dorso a cinque nervetti con ricche decorazioni in oro negli scomparti, bordura neoclassica ai piatti, astuccio. Il primo volume (e spesso anche il secondo) per vicende editoriali fu stampato su carta di formato minore. Pur risultando a pieni margini, esso è più piccolo e per uniformarlo a gli altri due il suo astuccio ha un piccolo tacco in basso, con la stessa decorazione. Il primo volume comprende Filippo, Polinice, Antigone e Virginia ed uscì all'inizio del 1783. Nell'agosto si avviò la stampa del secondo volume, comprendente le tragedie Agamennone, Oreste e Rosmunda, e le cui operazioni furono questa volta supervisionate dallo stesso Alfieri, che più volte espresse la propria insoddisfazione nei confronti di Pazzini. La tiratura fu per entrambi di 500 copie. L'ultimo volume, con Ottavia, Timoleone e Merope fu terminato alla fine del 1783, ma gli esemplari rimasero nel magazzino dei Pazzini fino al gennaio del 1785, forse per l'assenza da Siena di Alfieri e per l'improvvisa morte del fedele amico Gori. Edizione originale di dieci tragedie del grande letterato astigiano. "Rarissima edizione, tirata in pochi esemplari, difficile a trovarsi completa" (Bustico n.1). Esemplare splendido, immacolato e a pieni margini, che comprende anche il secondo volume in carta grande.. .

[500 Aldina - Contraffazione](cm.15.8) bella piena pergamena fine secolo XIX, nervi fregi e titolo in oro al dorso. -cc.63+ 1 c. bianca Elegante corsivo e ritratto dell'autore in ovale al frontis. Assolutamente rarissima contraffazione aldina di questa celebre tragedia stmpata da Aldo nel 1543. L'azione è tratta dalla seconda novella della seconda deca degli ecatomiti, dello stesso Giraldi. L'opera fu stampata molte volte per tutto il XVI sec., questa è la prima edizione dopo quella di Aldo. Fu rappresentata nel 1541 a Ferrara, in casa dell'autore alla presenza del Duca Ercole II. E'la prima tragedia Italiana composta per la recita e recitata.; ottenne un grande sucesso presso i contemporanei ai quali parve che l'autore conciliasse le norme classiche col gusto del tempo. Si rifà come intenzione al Tieste di Seneca, ma il soggetto è di libera invenzione. Angolino bianco del frontis con vecchio restauro, qualche ombreggiatura lievissima ad alcune carte, peraltro esemplare molto bello e fresco, con antica copertina settecentesca policroma conservata. Alla sguardia ex libris di Ugo Manganelli di Lugo di Romagna, con alcune sue notazioni autografe che sottolineano la rarità dell'esemplare.

Prima rara edizione (cfr. Parenti Bibliogr. opp. di S.Pellico pag 22...".e ne furono tirate poche copie in carta grande") Esemplare assai raro, completo della presentazione del curatore Ludovico di Breme, impreziosito dalla dedica del Conte Giulio Porro Lambertenghi (storico-bibliotecario,1811-1885) il quale aveva fatto stampare nello stesso anno una edizione non autorizzata dal Pellico della tragedia "Francesca da Rimini"a Novara nella Tipografia Rasario; anzi il Pellico aveva autorizzato Ludovico di Breme a stampare la tragedia che come poi scrive nell'introduzione di questa edizione milanese "giaceva, son tre anni, poco men che dimenticata dall'autore". ."....Il dissidio fra il Porro e il Di Breme fu chiuso soltanto con la consegna da parte del Porro di tutte le copie dell'edizione novarese, destinate ad essere distrutte o ,almeno ad essere sepolte per qualche anno. E' probabile che tutte le copie siano state spedite a Milano dopo la soppressione di ogni indicazione tipografica e con la falsa data di Londra...."(Parenti op. cit. pag 20)
