“This magnificent incunable is one of Soncino’s most outstanding productions. It is the first book fully vocalised with woodcut headings all the way through the text. It is the only book printed in Casal Maggiore and took a whole year to print due to the complexity of the contents, or more likely due to the recurrent problems the Soncinos had with the ruling authorities.” (Wineman Catalogue)
