[2 Parisian post-incunabula]. Ausone. Opera diligenter castigata et in pulcherrimum ordinem e pristina confusione restituta. Paris, ex edibus Ascensianis [Josse Bade], 1511. Small in-4° of [6], CXVI, [2] ff. (Sign: aa6, A-O8, p4). Large printer's mark on title, small and large ornate letters. Muted havana calf, 3 ribbed spine, cold decoration (Parisian binding of the period). One of the very first editions of Ausone by Girolamo ALEANDRO (1480-1542), who had been teaching in Paris since 1508 with such talent that he became rector of the city's university. His lecture on AUSONNE was a great success. Adams, A-2275 (cites only the year 1513 for the Ascensiana edition). Marginal and interlinear annotations of the period, in Latin and French, a few pen and pencil drawings, including religious figures and coats of arms, a few pen tests... Various handwritten bookplates from the period to the 18th century. Some rings, not serious. [Bound at the end]: BEROSE [- CATON the Elder, XENOPHON, EPICTETE et alii]. De his quæ praecesserunt inundationem terrarum. [Paris], de Marnef, 1510. small in-4° of [5], 2-28 ff. (Sign : *5, a2-8, b4, c-d8). Large printer's mark to text, woodcut full p. verso f. 24.
