FIRST EDITION OF JUVENAL WORKS WITH THE COMMENTARY OF THE FAMOUS HUMANIST JOSSE BADE. The humanist pedagogue, grammarian, and rhetorician Antonio Mancinelli (1452-1505) taught in Venice, Rome, and Orvieto; he produced editions of Cicero, Herodotus, Horace, Juvenal, Svetonius, Virgil, and many other authors. “Badius’s letter to Henri Valuphin is dated one day later than the colophon, indicating that the preliminaries were composed after the body of the book. The colophon shows that Badius acted as his own press-corrector (vitiorum expunctore). He frequently acted in this capacity in Lyon, before moving to Paris in 1499 where he eventually established his own press. The title page is printed in red and black. The magister cum discipulis woodcut is found again in a Persius of 1499 (Morgan 46)” (Shaw).
