Prnter's device on title-page and verso of final leaf; profusely illustrated with wooodcuts, many full-page. 1 vols. Small 4to. De Re Navali. Lazare de Baïf (1496-1547) was a French humanist, classical scholar, translator of Sophocles' Electra, and ambassador to Venice, who flourished in the enlightened reign of François I, to whom his delightfully illustrated book on captivities and the naval science of the ancients is dedicated; the book is edited by Charles Estienne. His close connection to the classical humanists in François I's circle has led some to speculate that the fine woocuts herein came from the worshop of Geoffroy Tory. In addition, two other works are included: one, also by Baïf, on costumes and urns; and one, by Antonio Telesion, "De coloribus" Adams B36
