Folger-specific note
Purchase made possible by The Colt Acquisitions Fund. From dealer's description: "FIRST EDITION of this rare play dedicated by the author to Isabella de 'Medici Orsini, Duchess of Bracciano (1542-1576) dated Florence May 15, 1561 [in ‘EDIT 16’ the author is given as "poet and playwright born in Florence who lived in the fifteenth century"]. Five acts in verse; proceeded by a list of Persone che favela; a madrigal and prologue; with a madrigal or song at the end of each act. In the dedication he notes that the present work, La Inventione della Croce, was written immediately after La Cangenia (Florence; Giunti, 1561), the other tragicomedy of Poggi. The note in the title "Nuovamente posta in luce" appears not to refer to an earlier edition but to an earlier performance." Ordered from Jeffrey D. Mancevice, Inc., D 8919, 2015-09-26, RARE BOOK CATALOGUE 44, item 96.
