(PRIAPEIA.) Diversorum veterum poetarum in Priapum lusus.
79, [1] leaves. Small 8vo, old panelled calf, top of spine damaged, joints cracked, cords intact; some dampstaining, opening leaves heavily toned, ink blot across A5r. (Venice), 1534
- Notes: Second edition of a 1517 Aldine collection of poems to the tumescent fertility god Priapus. "The subjects are mainly the shameful chastisements awaiting thieves, the phallus of the god, the offerings presented to him. Clever in versification, lively and sometimes witty in style, they are, with rare exceptions, marked by extreme obscenity" (OCD). Renouard, page 110.
