Graecae interrogationes de octo partibus orationis, quibus graeco sermone diligens praeceptor quam facillime studiosos discipulos interrogare poterit. — Venetiis M D XLIII. (Colophon:) Venetijs per I. Ant. & Petrum Fratres de Nicolinis da Sabio. Anno Dni. M D XLIII.

Venice, Giovanni Antonio & Pietro di Nicolini da Sabio [for Andrea Arrivabene], 1543

8vo (149 x 92 mm). A-F8: 48 leaves. Last quire with a wormhole, first quire with a small hole in the inner blank margin, lower third of the last leaf reinforced with a small paper strip in the inner blank margin. 19th c. half-leather. Rare.

On Pietro Rocca, brother of the printer/publisher Francesco Rocca, I could not find any biographical informations. From library catalogues we know that he translated from Latin into Italian (for exampel Barletius, Venice 1564), and that published an Ars metricae in Venice 1551.
