Berkeley: Tamalpais Press, 1962. [3p], rubricated colophon, plus the single original leaf from 1503 that has two woodcuts and two drop-cap initials; 9.25x13.5 inches. Prefatory material runs all three pages with source-list. Lovely monograph booklet, #58/135 copies printed and bound by Roger Levenson in sewn green paper covers; faintly edgeworn with a hint of sunning and a tiny droplet-stain at top edge, a very good copy. The two cuts are charming, and the two initials in reasonably good shape: Olmsted comments that Zanni's initials were "of small size but of real merit," and that "most of them show rather hard use" One of 100 copies reserved for members of the Roxburghe Club of San Francisco.
