The Roman Aldine press essentially served as an extension of the papacy which capitalized on its fame to disseminate with great cachet Vatican-approved texts in the publication war that was such an integral part of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations this work being no exception.<br>Â Â Â Â This neatly printed text has single columns with unaccomplished guide letters and shouldernotes using roman font; the iconic Aldine device appears on the title-page and an errata list appears in double-column format at the end.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: The printer's mark of Jan Baptiste Verdussen II depicting a stork feeding a snake to another stork with the Latin motto "Virtus pietas homini tutissima" which can be dated between 1659 and 1759 has been excised from another source and affixed to the front pastedown possibly as a bookplate as speculated by the Provenance Online Project; this title is later listed in the auction catalogue of Jean-Baptiste Verdussen III's book collection suggesting this copy may have belonged to the Verdussen family. Two early inked signatures of G.J. Enoch and J.F. Van de Velde also appear on the front endpapers. Most recently in the library of American collector Albert A.
