Anonymous. 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.
