= Edizione Vade Mecum series. Cf. Welsh 2166; cf. Bondy, pp.90-100: "A much more serious and eminently successful venture was the publication of the Edizione Vade Mecum by G. Barbèra in Florence.

All the volumes measure approximately 2 1/2 by 1 7/8 inches and are beautifully bound in leathers of various colours and lavishly and most attractively gilt-stamped on both sides and spine in ever varying designs".
