L. Annei Senecae naturalium quaestionum libri VII. : Matthæi Fortunati in eosdem libros annotationes. : Index rerum notatu dignarum in calce operis appositus

Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, approximately 4 B.C.-65 A.D · 1522 · Venetiis : in aedibus Aldi et Andreae Asulani Socerei · 1 picture

A 1522 Venice edition of Seneca's Natural Questions, printed by the Aldine press with Matthaeus Fortunatus's commentary, a scholarly text for classical scholars and early science readers. The single picture is a printer's device: a dolphin twined around an upright anchor below the letters ALDVS, a mark of the Aldine press that a designer might take as a compact emblem of a publisher's identity and the Renaissance taste for classical symbols.
