8vo. pp. [4]-344. Ordinary paper issue in near-contemporary morocco-backed marbled boards. Woodcut vignettes in the text, which is framed in an engraved leaves border.
First edition. Contains a poem inspired by the forged epitaph of the legendary Helvetian heroine Julia Alpinula, the daughter of a leader of an Helvetian uprising against the Romans, who died soon after her attempt to save her father’s life. Julia Alpinula’s story was in fact a humanist hoax based on a fabricated inscription by Paulus Merula. See A. Freeman, Julia Alpinula, pseudo-Heroine of Helvetia. How a Forged Renaissance Epitaph Fostered a National Myth. London, 2015, pp. 7-8.
