'Cosmopoli' [Leiden], for Cornelio Last, 1675
£200

Probably one of a number of spurious, pirated imprints derived from Elzevir's edition of several years earlier. Trajano Boccalini (1556-1613) authored two notoriously satirical works, Ragguagli di Parnaso, published in 1612, and this work, a satirical attack on the Spaniards, first published in 1615 under the 'Cosmopoli' imprint.
