This is one of the earliest works devoted to the study of ancient coins and measures, and more generally to the economics of antiquity. The first edition of De Asse (the 'as' or pound is a Roman bronze coin) was published in March 1515 by Josse Bade in Paris, and the publication achieved a wide success, as evinced by its numerous editions and translations. This copy is in a strictly contemporary morocco binding executed by Andrea di Lorenzo, called the 'Mendoza Binder'. There was a close relationship between this Venetian binder and the Manutius-Torresano partnership. Until c.1525 Andrea di Lorenzo seems to have mainly worked for the Anchor and Dolphin bookshop near the Rialto Bridge, decorating the bindings with characteristic features such as rectangular frames of fillets, rosettes, arabesque leaves, fleurons, and lozenges. For distinguished customers he added, at the head of the upper cover, the author and title in gilt lettering, or their names at the foot of the same cover. Literature: Renouard, 94.3; Ahmanson-Murphy 212.
