Parmae In Aedibus Palatinis 1791. Small 8vo (in rs), 148 x 102 mms., pp. [iv], cxviii, [ii], 111 [112 blank], engraved portrait vignettes on first two leaves, printed entirely in capital letters, attractively bound in full vellum, with elaborate gilt roll on cover, spine richly gilt, black leather label, all edges gilt, blue silk end-papers; a bookplate appears to have been removed from the verso of the front free silk end-paper, binding very slightly soiled, but a very good to fine copy. This edition was produced by the distinguished Italian philologist Giovanni Cristofano Amaduzzi (1740 – 1792). Brooks: Compendiosa Bibliografia di Edizioni Bodoni (1927), no. 422, noting that Giuseppe de Lama in Vita del cavaliere Giambattista Bodoni tipografo Italiano e catalogo cronologico delle sue edizioni stated that the work was soon out of print, and that 150 copies were printed on "carta ducale," 12 on "carta di Annanay," 3 on vellum, and 3 also with the Greek text on vellum. G. P. Giani, in Catalogo delle autentiche edizioni Bodoni (1948), no. 17, states that 200 copies on "carta vergata ducale" (ducal laid paper) were printed but otherwise follows Brooks.
