What is Sicvti antiquarvm lectionvm commentarios concinnarat olim vindex Ceselivs about?

"First edition of an encyclopaedic collection of Latin notes on the classics and on general topics such as the human body, dance, music, poetry, art, sleep, rhetoric, the universe, etc., in sixteen books, by Lodovico Celio Ricchieri, often known by the Latin name Ludovicus Caelius Rhodiginus. In concept, it resembles Erasmus's famous Adagia, first published in 1500, but even though the Adagia quadrupled in size by the Aldine edition of 1508, the present work is more than twice as long as that: a folio of nearly 100 pages and one of the most extensive books of the Aldine press. Ricchieri dedicated different parts of the book to different people, including (on 2A2) the famous bibliophile Jean Grolier (1479-1565), then treasurer of Milan. It appeared almost exactly a year after Aldus Manutius's death, with his father-in-law Andreas Torresano was running the press, but given its great length it is probably one of the last works to have gone to press under Aldus himself. The present copy, with no initial filled in and nearly untrimmed (giving a 5 cm margin at the foot and fore-edge) shows the book almost as it came from the printing office."--Description from ASHER Rare Books & Antiquar
