Titolo manoscritto nel taglio inferiore. Marca tipografica al frontespizio e all’ultima carta. Iniz. xil. Buon esemplare.Elegante prima edizione del Giolito. L’opera ripercorre la celebre opera di Cornelio Nepote “De Viris illustribus”. Quest’opera ci è pervenuta nei manoscritti non con il nome di Cornelio Nepote, ma con quello di Emilio Probo, che si presenta come un contemporaneo dell’imperatore Teodosio, al quale l’opera è dedicata. Questo equivoco, fu smascherato già dagli editori cinquecenteschi.
