ALDINA RARE FIRST EDITION.
Renouard notes that this edition is "fort rare" and is much more correct than all the previous ones: was edited by Francis of Asula, Printer uncle, who signed the preface dedicated to Ioanni Cornelius.
The work is a history of the East, which has as its pivot the Macedonian dynasty, as indicated in the title.
The second work on the emperors of Cornelius Nepos, although up to 1569 these Vitae had been mistakenly attributed to Aemilus Probus, the IV century author. This work, together with the two biographies of Cato and Atticus, is all that remains of his writings. Cornelius Nepos was the first biographer to compare the Romans with foreigners.
Ucla 209; Renouard p. 96, n.9; Adams, 723.
