Pauli Iovii Novocomensis opera quotquot extant omnia : a mendis accurate repurgata vivisque imaginibus eleganter & opportune suis locis illustrata
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The work 'Pauli Iovii Novocomensis opera quotquot extant omnia' (1578) is a collected edition of Paolo Giovio's writings. While individual works by Giovio (such as his 'Elogia') have been translated into English (e.g., 'Notable Men and Women of Our Time' and 'Portraits of Learned Men'), there is no evidence of a complete English translation of the entire 'Opera omnia' collection. Therefore, this specific collected edition has not been translated in its entirety.

Paolo Giovio offers a sharp, firsthand look at the shifting power centers of the Renaissance, from the bloody courts of Henry VIII to the mysterious reaches of Muscovy. Readers will discover a historian who treats history, geography, and even the natural history of fish as pieces of a single, grand puzzle of human civilization.
