Renouard 60, 1. Mortimer 1, 96. BMSTC Italian Books 135. Adams C 26. - Erste Aldus-Ausgabe mit dem von Jucundus korrigierten Text. - Die Holzschnitte zeigen 2 Brücken sowie die Befestigung von Alexia, Massilia und Uxellodunum (hs. Bezeichnung verblaßt). - "The 1513 edition was the first Aldine edition of Caesar, to be followed by many more. It includes a map of Gaul and Germany, stenciled with colors at the time of publication to make the divisions easier to recognize. Although the original plan was to use six colors - purple, saffron, red, yellow, green and blue - the copy includes three colors only: red for Belgium; green for southeastern Gaul; and the seas appear to have a very light yellow tint, the original blue possibly having faded over the years. The 1513 Caesar is the only Aldine edition with colored maps. The woodcuts on leaf C1 have been hand labeled "Massilia" and "Uxellodunum." These corrections were made because the woodcuts were inadvertently printed backwards and do not correspond to the explanations on the facing pages. As all the copies have these same corrections in the same hand, it is possible that they were made by Aldus himself. Certainly they were made at the press before distribution of the book." - Tit. etw. fl. u. mit kl. Wurmspur. Tit. u. Karte mit kl., gekl. Einriss im Gelenk. Kolorierung, abgesehen v. Rot sehr verblaßt. Mit zahlr., tls. sehr verblaßten Marginalien v. alter Hand. N.a.T. - Sehr selten.
