Second edition of a 1517 Aldine collection of poems to the tumescent fertility god Priapus. "The subjects are mainly the shameful chastisements awaiting thieves, the phallus of the god, the offerings presented to him. Clever in versification, lively and sometimes witty in style, they are, with rare exceptions, marked by extreme obscenity" (OCD). Renouard, page 110.
