The noted author of this work on the geographies of Pliny and Pomponius Mela 
had died on 2 May 1493. His brother Daniel then completed the revisions and 
corrections to the text in preparation for a new edition. This second edition is 
the product of Daniel’s work, and he arranged for this edition to be 
privately printed at his own expense at what yet remains an unknown Italian press.
