considered spurious & the work of Nanni himself. Edited by Godofredus Torinus
(Geoffroy Tory), cf. dedication, dated Paris, 1510. Apparently a German
counterfeit or reprint of the Paris Marchand/ Geoffroy de Marnef editions of
1510-11, preserving an adaptation of the Marnef device, with the addition of
two items of German interest; a variant of the more common dated Grüninger
edition of 1511. Brunet ascribes this reprint to a German press but the
Bibliothèque nationale catalogue lists it as a de Marnef edition. </span><span lang="fr" style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:120%;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;" xml:lang="fr">See
