Curatorial Note:
  • The Saliceto font, larger than the Speculum font, was used to print many editions on vellum of the schoolbooks Donatus and Alexander de Villa Dei, Doctrinale. It was also used to print the present collection of texts of Italian origin: short treatises on the preservation of the body (De salute corporis) and of the soul (De salute animae), and a miscellany of other brief humanist items. A copy in Darmstadt bears a rubrication date of 1472, but the paper stocks suggest an earlier date, 1468-1469.
