QUINTE-CURCE. Quintus Curtius. [Venice] : Aldus [André d'Asola et ses fils], July 1520 - In-8, stiff parchment, smooth spine, marbled edges (19th century binding). First and only rare Aldine edition of "The History of Alexander the Great" by the Roman historian Quinte-Curce. It was printed in italic type by André d'Asola and his sons who took over from Aldus Manutius at his death in 1515. The preface is by Francis of Asola, addressed to Mapheo Leoni. The Aldine anchor is found on the first and last leaves. A good copy in a 19th century imitation binding. Gold of the spine faded. Some light spotting without seriousness.
