Very rare, undated edition of this poem (first edited in
Rome in 1526, this is possibly the second, the third was
printed in 1534, and no other afterwards in the 16th
cent.) by the Tuscan poet Francesco Berni, about the
card game „Primiera“, perhaps a forerunner of poker.
EDIT 16 records only three copies in Italian libraries,

First and only edition. Melchior dalla Briga (S. J.,
1686–1749), a Jesuit and an Italian astronomer, published
in 1747 his „Scientia eclipsium“, which figures
a map of the moon that is particularly representative
of former cartographies that dominates selenography.
In this work, he helped Cardinal Gio. Battista Tolomei
(1653–1726) in the graphic representation of his interpretation
of some hieroglyphs, existing on a statue that
was in Rome in the capitol, matching it with a previous
interpretation given by Athanasius Kircher. Rare,
apparently no copy in Germany. OCLC 457144356;
