BOSSUS, Matthaeus (1428-1502). Epistolae familiares et secundae . Additions by Jason Mayno (1435-1519) and Balthasar Crassus. Mantua: Vincentius Bertochus, 9 November 1498. Chancery 2 o (295 x 205 mm). Collation: A 1 0 (A1r title, A1v letter to Augustinus de Novis from Jason Mayno, A2r dedicatory poem to Jacobus Gallus from Balthasar Crassus, A3r dedication, A4r list of letters including names of addressees and 2-word incipits, A10v Argumentum [by the editor or printer]); b-i K l-y 6 z 8 (b1r text of letters, x6r four extracts of letters from the Recuperationes faesulanae , z6r colophon, z6v register, z7r errata, z8 blank). 144 leaves. 38 lines, with printed side notes. Type: 1:109R. 7-, 6-, and 3-line initial spaces, most with printed guide letters. (Some marginal foxing, z1.8 rehinged.) Modern box calf, edges stained red. Provenance : Pieter Burmann Jr. (1668-1741), Dutch philologist, his library sold in 1742 (signature on title-page, extensive notes relating to the text on front flyleaf and final blank). FIRST EDITION. Matteo Bosso, Abbot of the Austin Canons at Fiesole, was a Neoplatonist and member of Ficino's Platonic Academy, which is said to have met regularly at the Badia at Fiesole under Bosso's tenure. This is the second collection of his letters on ecclesiastic and political matters; the first was published six years earlier in Florence under the title Recuperationes Faesulanae . Mantuan printing slowed to a near-halt after 1481. Vincentius Bertochus printed only two books there, both in the fall of 1498. Presumably a relative of the quasi-itinerant printer Dionysius Bertochus, who printed variously at Venice, Reggio Emilia, and Modena, Vincentius was one of only two printers, each responsible for two editions, recorded at Mantua between 1481 and 1501. HC(+Add) 3671*; BMC VII, 934 (IB. 30685-87); BSB-Ink. B-761; CIBN B-730; GW 4956; Harvard/Walsh 3344; IGI 2019; Pr 6911; Goff B-1042.
