This important book is a second edition of Robert Estienne’s first illustrated book containing four volumes. This is a Renaissance history of early Rome with regards to navy, arts, science, and culture. The first three discuss naval matters, clothing and fashion, and metal vessels, and were written by Lazare de Baif. The final volume concerns colours and was written by Antoine Thylesius. This second edition was edited by Charles Estienne (Carolus Stephanus), Robert Estienne’s (Roberti Stephani) brother. Lazare de Baif was born into the old nobility of Anjou. In his youth he studied chiefly Greek and Latin. The king Francois I sent Baif to Venice as his emissary in 1531. Baif composed a number of treatises about the navigation, clothing, and vessels of antiquity, especially those of the Romans. Antonius Thylesius was born in Cosenza, Italy. He was a professor in Milan, and wrote an essay about colours, which was published for the first time 1528 in Venice.
