Quintilian:

[Institutio Oratoria]

      [colophon: impressum Florentaie [Florence] opera & sumptu Philippi Iuntae ...] 1515 8vo. ff. [iv], 269 [ie 369]. Lacking final leaf (V8), blank except for printer’s device to verso. Latin text, printed in italic letter, light waterstaining, a few early marginalia. Dedicated by Filippo Giunta to Roberto Acciaioli. Nineteenth-century sheep-backed boards, rebacked, sprinkled edges. Quintilian’s twelve-book guide to rhetoric was written in the late first century AD, under Domitian. It was popular with Renaissance humanists such as Petrarch. This is the only Giunta edition, and a “very elegantly printed book”. Dibdin II, 367; Adams Q53.
