Very rare second edition of this Hebrew grammar, written in Latin by the Italian orientalist Agatho Guidacerio from Rocca-Coragio in Calabria (1477-1542?). As was the first edition, this revision is dedicated to his patron Leo X (Giovanni Medici).
Year of printing in Greek. A few pencil markings and contemporary ms. marginalia and notes. Inner margin slightly waterstained throughout; the unclothed torso of the female figure in the printer’s device on the last leaf has been contemporarily obscured in ink.
Extremely rare; no copy established in libraries internationally or in the past 30 years’ trade.
