About This Item
Amstelodami [Amsterdam], Sumptibus Wetstenii., 1746.. 2 vols. Folio. pp. [xxxviii], 731, [v]; [iv], 666, [cviii] (index). With half title, additional engraved title and portrait of Wesseling to volume one. Letterpress titles printed in red and black, with engraved vignettes. Text in Greek and Latin. Occasional minor spotting. Contemporary Dutch blind-stamped vellum, gilt, a couple of chips to head and tail of spine of second volume, lack free end-paper to vol I. Dibdin sums up the importance and beauty of this edition: the splendour and critical excellence of all former editions, sayes Harles, are eclipsed by this of Peter Wesseling, which contains everything to be found in the preceding ones; and besides a learned preface, useful notes, and various illustrations of the author, presents us with the readings of better MSS., and very full and perfect indexes. Dibdin I, 497 Book
