Venice: Comin da Trino 1557. Graesse V.325 giving 1558 imprint; a second issue; the Italian Union Catalogue Catalogo Unico lists only 5 copies in Italian libraries. Rare first Italian-language edition of this Platonic dialogue somewhat anomalous in the Platonic corpus because of its extended treatment of the nature of physical matter and cosmology and a favorite among Renaissance readers for its myth of Atlantis which influenced other Renaissance utopias. The 1550s or thereabouts saw the first Italian translation of the most popular Platonic dialogues whether directly from Greek as here or via Ficinos Latin translation; the prestige of Ficinos Latin translation and wider readership for the original Greek probably explains why this Italian edition came so relatively late. The edition was translated by the littérateur Sebastiano Erizzo 1525-1585 a prolific writer of poetry fiction and belles lettres who provides some commentary in the way of printed marginal annotations; he would later translate a further selection of dialogues into Italian in which the Timaeus was reprinted 1574.
