Title: 1566 SATIRICAL POETRY of ANDREA DA BERGAMO antique in ITALIAN

Description: Nelli, Pietro (pseudonimo Andrea da Bergamo)
IL PRIMO LIBRO DELLE SATIRE ALL CARLONA DI MESSER ANDREA DA BERGAMO
( The first [-second] book of Carlona satires by Messer Andrea da Bergamo )
Venice, for Alessandro de Viano; 1566
Size 4 by 5 3/4
Two parts in one volume.
Woodcut printer's device on the title page
18th century brown half leather binding, worn.
Nobility stamp on the title page.
A beautiful volume that unites two very rare editions, like the entire limited production of the rhymer of Sienese origins who, due to the very rough and licentious subject matter of the satires, prudently published them under a pseudonym.
Some satires in the second part are of gastronomic interest, such as the Disdain for salt and Luganigar fat or Praises, perfection and properties of cabbage.
