About This Item

Ex Officina Elseviriorum [Elzevier], Lvgd. Batavorvm [Leiden]: 1640., 1640 pp. (12), 414 (i.e.404), [28]. Printer's device (the Hermit) on title page. 24mo. 13 cm. Latin text. Worn original full leather binding, boards detached. The Dutch family of Elzevier (Elzevir; Elsevier) were the foremost printers of their time. They produced a vast variety of well printed scholarly and popular books; many in a very small handy format. Louis Elzevier, the founder of the firm, produced his first book in Leiden in 1583. The 'golden age' of Elzevier printing was between 1620 and 1680. The Elzevier dynasty probably produced their last publication in 1770. Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, born Gaius Caecilius or Gaius Caecilius Cilo (61 c. 113), better known as Pliny the Younger, was a lawyer, author, and magistrate of Ancient Rome. Pliny's uncle, Pliny the Elder, helped raise and educate him. Pliny the Younger wrote hundreds of letters, of which 247 survive and are of great historical value. Some are addressed to reigning emperors or to notables such as the historian Tacitus. Pliny served as an imperial magistrate under Trajan and his letters to Trajan provide one of the few surviving records of the relationship between the imperial office and provincial governors. Willems 506; Copinger 3646. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 4 Language: eng. Hardcover. Fair.
