DESCRIPTION Beautiful letterpress on the title page (lying man looking at the crescent moon) in ornamental frame. The publisher's name, Francesco Sansovino, son of Iacopo, polygraph, translator and publisher, appears in the colophon (In Venetia, after Francesco Sansouino) with the date 1561, instead of 1560 as indicated on the title page. The work is his translation of the famous treatise Opus agriculturae or De re rustica by Rutilio Tauro Emiliano Palladio, author of the 4th century AD, who had great fortune for its didactic and experiential character (the first translation is from 1472, in Venice) .
