PORTO, LUIGI DA.

Historia nuouamente ritrouata, di due nolibi amanti, Con la loro pietosa

morte: Interuenuta già nella Città di Verona. Nel tempo del Signor

Bartolomeo della Scala. Nuouamente stampata. _In Venetia Per Giouan.

Griffio._ [Colophon adds date:] M. D. LIII.

8^o. (6 × 4). X. 4. 1.

Collation: A-E^4, folios numbered. Epistle dedicatory to Lucina

Savorgana. Introduction. 'Narratione della Historia.' The last leaf

is blank except for the printer's device on the verso. Da Porta's

'historia' is supposed to have been the source of Bandello's

'novella' of Romeo and Juliet. It may in its turn have been founded

on a tale of Massuccio. The earliest edition is undated, and there

was another in 1536 before the present one.
