GALILEO GALILEI
Galileo a Madama Cristina di Lorena. Padova tipografia Salmin 1896 (al colophon) 1897
(mm 16x11). 205 pages [4]. Original bluish paperback with titles embossed on the front and spine.
In the colophon: «printed in Dantino's characters to surpass any other tiny edition, May 1897». In fact, the work is considered by many to be the smallest book in the world printed with movable type. The font used, engraved in 1834 by Antonio Farina from Piacenza and used by the same publisher for the famous tiny edition of Dante in 1878, is the eye of a fly, «the most widely discussed and the most sensational of all microscopic type-faces used in miniature books»
