ALEXANDER OF APHRODISIA (pseudonym). Problemata Alexandri Aphrodisei. Problemata Aristotelis. Problemata Plutarchi. No place, no date [in the colophon]: Venice, Alberto Vercellese, May 26, 1501. Folio, marbled half-basane with small red cloth corners, plain spine with decoration (binding from the second half of the 19th century). A rare post-incunabulum Venetian edition of the *Problemata* of Pseudo-Alexander of Aphrodisias, in the Latin translation by the humanist Giorgio Valla. These texts on the mysteries of nature, science, and medicine are followed here by the *Problemata* of Pseudo-Aristotle, translated by Theodore of Gaza, and those of Plutarch, in the version by Joannes Petrus Lucensis. Early annotations and marginal marks in the margins of a few leaves. Due to an error, folio 76 appears twice, and folio 77 is missing. Slight water stain at the corner of a few folios; light foxing; the last folio has been restored (upper corner and lower half).
