Biblica Latina printed in Venice in 1519 by Lucantonio Giunta reprinted from an earlier 1511 edition. Lucantonio Giunta was one of the major figures in a distinguished family of Florentine publishers, printers and booksellers. He was born in Florence in 1457 and was a bookseller there until he moved to Venice in 1477, where he continued his trade until 1489 when he established his own press. Active in Venice between 1489 and 1538, he and his heirs distinguished themselves particularly for their large number of liturgical books, missals and breviaries, many with beautiful illustrations, as well as illustrated books in the vernacular for the mass market. This particular leaf contains Revelations 21 - 22 as well as The Colophon. The Colophon is a brief statement containing information about the publication of a book such as the place of publication, the publisher, and the date of publication. A colophon may also be emblematic or pictorial in nature. Colophons were formerly printed at the ends of books, but in modern works they are usually located at the verso of the title-leaf.The verso contains the same amount and type of print (Adams B995; Essling 145; Sander 1002). The condition of this leaf is Fine. <
