Author: LIVIUS.
Title: Historiarum ab urbe condita, libri, qui extant, XXXV. Cum universae historiae epitomis. Adiunctis scholiis Caroli Sigonii, quibus ijdem libri, atque epitomae partim emendantur, partim etiam explanantur.
Description: Venice, Paulus Manutius, 1566. Second edition. Folio. (30, 9x21, 1cm). [lii], 399, [1=printer's device]-107 leaves. Contemporary (?) limp vellum with later morocco title-piece. (vellum damaged, especially along the hinges; title written on the lower edge; numerous old annotations, mostly in neat hand; small waterstains on the outer margins; large but light waterstains on the last few quires; a few pages browned a bit) ¶ With the Aldus' device on the title-pages and the last leaf of the text. ¶ The text is the same as the 1555 edition, the Scholia however are corrected. The first edition is more beautiful. (Schweiger II.531). Brunet III.1106. Adams L1344. ¶ Sigonio's rendering of the Livy made his European reputation. His scholia "outstripped the combined efforts of all his predecessors" in "sheer mass, acumen, and acerbity". Robortello largely deals with Livian questions regarding this book in his anti-Sigonian De conventienti supputationes, but still, the Sigonian edition long remained an important one. His scholia were honored in the seventeenth century by the famed Livy-commentator Gronovius. (McCuaig, Carlo Sigonio: The changing world of the late Renaissance, pp. 24-26).
