A beautiful and little-known edition of Doni's Pumpkin. An authentic monument of words, the Pumpkin gathers letters, short stories, "tall tales", speeches, "jests", descriptions, mostly published elsewhere, oscillating between occasionality and the needs of printing, and thus without a precise compositional structure, and a more personal urgency of Doni to "speak out", to consume himself in writing.

Copy inside in good conservation condition with some browned paper and a small tear at the lower margin of the first 10 pages. Printer's mark on the title page and decorated initials. Complete and usable.
