Mantova, Per Francesco Osanna Stampator Ducale, 1593, small in-4°, 21,8 x 16 cm, (28) nn pp + 464 pp (title with large pictorial woodcut border). Bound in old calf , floral gilt fillets on the covers, raised gilt spine, modern title label on spine, marbled endpapers. Binding with rather serious use, rebacked, extremities worn and with loss of leather, lower end of spine with loss (5 cm) , first paste down shows damage of removal of an ex-libris. The text block has cracked slightly to the contents pages. Ex-library copy but only very slightly marked as such ( stamp on the verso of the title page), no other library markings. The index pages were obviously printed on a lower quality paper and are slightly browned. Still a rather fine/good copy with a clean interior. This is the first edition of Pausanias' Greek text in Italian..
