Marino Barlezio (1450-1513), Albanian religious, historian and humanist, born in Scutari, then part of the Republic of Venice; in 1508-1510 he published in Rome the biography of Giorgio Castriota Scanderberg, a major figure in Albania (15th century), whose Portuguese translation, by D. Francisco de Andrade, was printed in Lisbon, by Marco Borges, in 1567 (see Inocêncio, II, p. 332). The present Castilian translation does not show any indication of authorship, printer or publisher (name of the author according to the bibliography). Slightly trimmed copy with slight browning. Two restorations on the title page: a repaired central tear, without lack of support and restoration with reconstruction of the outer margin (180x50 mm), without affecting the text; unrestored wormhole on outer margin of next six leaves. Otherwise, a clean and solid copy. Recent binding, fully sheepskin, probably from the workshop of Mestre Império Graça, with blind tooling decoration on the covers and spine and engraving of the title and date on the reserve of the central cover.
