The pocket Macrobius
This was the first popular pocket edition of Macrobius's influential text, printed by the Giunta family in Florence; such smaller format publications were a feature of publishing in the early sixteenth century and must have looked as startlingly modern then as Allen Lane's first Penguins looked in the 1930s or ´40s.

This printing includes a slightly developed form of the famous Macrobian world map with its massive southern continent (see previous item).
