First edition of the life of Castracane and the only work printed by Gigliotti for Aldus. Bernardino Antelminelli, mentioned in the introduction, encouraged the publication of the work to claim direct descent from the famous leader.

Engraved large vignette with a portrait of Castruccio on title, initials and woodcut headpieces, a woodcut diagram at the end (some light spotting and staining, wormtrack to the inner margin of the first pages and final two leaves, two small holes on title touching a few letters). 19th-century marbled boards backed in red leather decorated in gilt, speckled edges (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: early date in ink on title and few marginal annotations.
