Curious popular edition of the Astuzie di Bertoldo (Bertoldo's wiles) that testifies to its popularity and diffusion more than 150 years after the first edition of 1620. In the colophon, a contemporary note succinctly captures the spirit of the novel: "Proverbio di Bertoldo: Il mondo è fatto a scalle chi le scende e chi le salle".
