Some sections with browning, others with moister traces. Characteristic contemporary binding, full sheepskin, a little worn, with some damage to the back folder (next to the spine) and spine.

Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39-65), Roman poet, born in Cordoba (Betic Hispania); despite his short life, he left us an extensive work, from which we only have the present text, known as Pharsalia, reporting the civil war between the supporters of Julius Caesar and those of Pompey the Great. Lucan would later participate in the failed conspiracy against the Emperor Nero, with whom he was a close friend, having been arrested and driven to suicide. The Spanish translation is by Fr. Martin Lasso (1499-1564), Spanish humanist, born in Oropesa (Toledo), secretary to D. Mencía de Mendoza, Duchess of Calabria, Marquise of Cenete and Countess of Nassou. Title printed in black and red, framed in a xilography engraving with Renaissance and architectural elements. The text is entirely composed in Gothic characters.
