First edition, first issue of this elegantly illustrated work by Jacopo Strada (1507-1588), Mantuan Nnumismatist, dealer and advisor in antiquities, architect and librarian, whose portrait by Titian of 1567-68 (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna) is regarded as one of the artist's greatest late masterpieces. According to Mortimer, Strada's 'Epitome' originated in his own collection of coins and medals. It was printed as part of a projected work on the subject which was to have been the culmination of his extensive research in other European collections as well as his own. Strada particularly notes in his preface to his Epitome 'the assistance received from Guillaume Du Choul and Jean Grolier, adding praise of Grolier's magnificent library'. The illustrations are derived from Strada's own drawings of medallion portraits based on antique coins and medals of emperors from Julius Caesar to Emperor Charles V, which were commissioned by Hans Jakob Fugger, for whom Strada also acted as agent in the acquisition of works of art and antiquities.
