About This Item

Joseph Barbou, Paris: 1754., 1754 pp. 24, 238 + Frontis, vignettes and culs-de-lampe, engraved by Fessard. Woodcut printer's device. All edges gold. Text and plates clean and bright. Small 8vo. [150 x 85 mm.] Worn original French full leather gold. Engraved Ex Libris of Theodore Martin. Edited by Stephano-Andraa Philippe. Includes a bibliography of Velleius Paterculus. Lovely edition of this "universal" Roman history. A brief history of the Barbou Classics is given by Schweiger (II 1269). In 1742 Lenglet de Fresnoy persuaded Coustelier to start a series which was meant to be a French rival to the Elzeviers - even surpassing th em in tersms of schoalrship and typography. Though this effort soon exhausted itself, it was revived by Jean Joseph Barbou in 1753. Seven of these attractive little books appeared in 1753-1755, and th ough there were more issued in the next decade, there was not enough market interest to support a sustained publishing program. They still stand as a monument to French scholarship and typography. Brunet IV:430. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 4 Language: eng. Full Leather. Hardcover. Good.
