Nitric acid does not form the anhydride but dinitrogen penta oxide is theoretical anhydride of nitric acid.

2HNO3 = N2O5 + H2O

==========

No. From the Wikipedia article on nitrogen pentoxide:

N2O5 was first reported by Deville in 1840, who prepared it by treating AgNO3 with Cl2.

Therefore, nitrogen pentoxide is the anhydride of nitric acid.
