NoteFirst edition and the first book published by Laskaris in Florence exclusively with the lower case fonts. Works by Lucian had already circulated in the fifteenth century from 1470-1472, such as the Dialogi VI, printed in Rome by Georgius Lauer, as well as other of his writings translated by renowned humanists such as Carolus Aretinus.
This particular copy has a manuscript Note prohibiting circulation (Prohibetur) from the time when the French armies of Charles VIII had conquered Florence, when many copies bearing the ‘seal’ of the Medici were confiscated and came into the market again later under different political circumstances. Some copies of this edition were unsold which, after Laskaris had left Florence for the court of Charles VIII, came into the possession of the famed family of printers of Filippo Giunti. The Giuntis added the first edition of Philostratus’s Εἰκόνες (Icones) to the Dialogues and circulated this mixed volume in 1517.
