NEO-LATIN POETRY. [FLAMINIO (Marcantonio)]: - Carmina Qvinqve Illvstrivm Poetarvm; Quorum nomina in sequenti pagina continentur. Additis Nonnvllis M. Antonii Flaminii libellus nunquam antea impressis.

Venetiis Presb. Hieronymus Liljus. & socii excudebant, 1558. Small 8vo, 145 x 90 mms., ff. 183 [1], ornamental woodcut on title-page, bound in 18th century maroon goatskin, with elaborate ornamental gilt borders on cover, spine ornately gilt, all edges gilt; small piece torn from upper corner of front free end-paper, but a fine copy, with the armorial bookplate of the Dogmersfield Library on the front paste-down marbled end-paper. Although Marcus Antonius Flaminius (Marcantonio Flaminio, 1497/98 - 1550) is perhaps the most notable of the poets in this volume (hence his name on the title-page), his poetic colleagues are probably just as distinguished: Baldassare Castiglione, Pietro Bembo, Andrea Navagero, and Giovanni Cotta. Flaminius' poems take up about two-thirds of the book, from folio 47 verso to the end. Maddison, Carol: Marcantonio Flaminio, Poet, Humanist and Reformer. London, Routledge, 1965..
