Two stylistically compatible printed books in one binding, including the third part of the Summa Theologiae printed by Boneto Locatelli in 1493, and a 1508 setting of the Opuscula printed by Giacomo Pencio. Pencio's "Opuscula" brings to a folio format the 1498 edition of that work by the printer of the Summa, Boneto Locatelli, originally published in quarto format. The text in both cases was edited by Antonio Pizzamano, who wrote the dedicatory letter addressed to Agostino Barbarigo, the doge of Venice.
