It is a widespread exposure in thirteen books - ie large sections - written by G. "benefit the public et honor". After the successful first edition, the Senate granted an annual subsidy to the Giustinian order to continue its work, and this resulted in interference in the drafting of the later books, and revisions to the text of the thirteen books went to press; It was reprinted in 1575 in seventeen books, and in 1576 appeared in Italian translated by Ludovico Leftovers. Pietro Giustiniani, 1490-1576, politician and scholar, entered the Great Council in 1515, he held various positions up to that of Senator. Nice specimen with wide margins
