Mortimer, Harvard French Books, 502; Cartier, De Tournes 260; Dekesel S70. 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.

The ink marginalia are probably in the hand of Nicola Francesco Haym (1678-1729), an Italian opera librettist, composer, theatre manager and performer, literary editor and numismatist. He is best remembered for adapting texts into libretti for the London operas of George Frideric Handel and Giovanni Bononcini. David Garrick (1717- 1779) was an English actor, playwright, theatre manager and producer who almost certainly knew Haym. There are pencil notes on the apparently conjugate front free endpapers, presumably by an early 20th-century English bookdealer, noting that this book had belonged to Haym and then Garrick, but also referring to Garrick's bookplate 'overleaf' which is no longer present and showing no evidence of removal. There are no original endpapers at the rear of the volume.
