Provenance: ex libris of P.A.H. Muschamp; armorial stamp of the Sewell family on wooden board. Biondo "virtually founded the field of archaeology" with these works. Our copy contains: De Roma instaurata (reconstruction of ancient Roman topography); De Roma triumphante (a discussion of pagan Rome as a model for new reform in contemporary institutions); De Gestis Venetorum; and De Italia illustrata (geography and history of 18 Italian provinces). . Adams B 2067 (including the Decades) "The Italia illustrata has naturally been given more attention than the other, for in it Biondo achieved a new and fruitful combination of geography and history, of antiquities and contemporary observation . they stimulated a host of other topographers and antiquaries who were better equipped."
