Collation: A4[-A1] a-e8 f6 g-p8 q6 r8 s6 t8 v6 x8 y-z6. First edition of one of the finest and most beautiful early Italian illustrated books and the first to attempt life-like portraits. An Augustinian monk, Giacomo Filippo Foresti da Bergamo (1434-1520) draws here from Boccaccio's own 'De claris mulieribus', but develops a different approach, choosing lesser-known female figures to 'rediscover' them for posterity. The women portrayed include numerous saints and historical figures such as Joan of Arc, Margaret Queen of England and Mary Queen of Scots. The final seven portraits were contemporaries of the author and are of recognisable likenesses. Unlike other woodcuts in the book, those used for them were not repeated. Five of the seven have been identified as Bianca Maria Sforza, Catherina Countess of Forli and Imola, Leonora of Aragon, wife of Ercole d'Este, Danisella Trivulzia, and Cassandra Fidelis. The artist of these fine woodcuts has not been identified, but several engravers probably contributed to the illustrations. (1)
