Della Historia del Invitto Cavalier Platir, Figlivolo dell'Imperador Primaleone.

Venezia: Lucio Spineda, 1611.

Two octavo volumes, Italian translation from the original Castilian Spanish; woodcut printer's marks to title pages and colophon; bound in full uniform early 19th-century green morocco with ornately gilt boards tooled in a grapevine motif, flat spines lettered and tooled in gilt compartments, inner gilt dentelles, nicely preserved; ex libris Holland House, with engraved armorial bookplates in each volume; some marginal wormholes neatly mended; this set sold at auction in the Holland House sale of 1947; 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 in.

Just like Rufo's La Austriada, this anonymous contribution to the Primaleon cycle sometimes attributed to Francisco de Enciso Zárate was spared from the fire in Don Quixote.

From the Ken Rapoport Collection.
