Description

Federico Badoer (1519–1593) was a member of an ancient Venetian family, and represented the Most Serene Republic as ambassador to various European courts. In 1557 he founded the Accademia Veneziana, with the goal of preserving and disseminating contemporary human knowledge. Paulus Manutius was hired as printer to the Academy in 1558, and printed close to sixty works under its auspices from 1558 to 1561, including this short treatise on the Order of the Golden Fleece.
