Limited edition of 23 numbered copies typeset by hand in moveable types, letter by letter, and letterpress printed on pure cotton paper made with the groundwater from the volcano Etna. 

Etching by Walter Valentini, signed and numbered, made expressly for this edition.

This edition printed in Latin is a tribute to the famous incunabulum printed by Aldus Manutius in 1495, which is considered to be the first modern book.
Bembo tells about his ascent to the top of the volcano Etna, during his stay in Sicily between 1492 and 1494, where he went to perfect his knowledge of Greek. This is one of the first description of the volcano ever made. The story is the background to a series of literary-scientific considerations and learned quotations from Latin and Greek classics.
