16mo. ff. 261, [3]. Signatures: ¶¹² A-X¹². Woodcut device on title page, woodcut initials. Early pocket edition, with the piquant imprimatur of Bishop Antonio Agustín, the distinguished unmasker of inscriptional forgeries. Guevara’s fictitious attribution of this moralizing work to the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (second century AD) was buttressed by his claim to have translated it from a manuscript in Greek – a language he could not read – in the Florentine library of Cosimo de’ Medici. Only three other copies are recorded by USTC, at the University of Lérida (imperfect), the Bibliothèque Municipale of Lyon, and in a private collection. Jiménez Catalán, Bibliografía ilerdense (1912), no. 28, describes an imperfect copy in the library of Luis Faraudo de Saint Germain; Palau 110109, records sight of a copy in the hands of a Barcelona bookseller in about 1920.
