About This Item
Leiden, ex officina Elzeviriana, 1650. 12mo. (12,6x7 cm.). 2 vol. [24],270-276,[1 errata] pp. With engraved title-page. Marbled calf with morocco title-shield. (top margin trimmed, chafing the heading; a few ms.initials in the margin of first text-leaf; ex-libris of E.J.Kenney) � With dedicatory poem to queen Christina of Sweden. �Willems 675: "Tr�s jolie �dition, la seule les Elzevier aient donn�e de ce format." Schweiger II/283: "Neue vorz�gliche Recension nach 28 Mss. ... Selten und gesucht.". � "In this epoch-making edition, published by the Elzevir Press in Leiden (publication supervised and proofs corrected by his friend J.F.Gronovius), Heinsius first revealed those qualities that were to win him the respectful admiration of other scholars: an assiduity in the examination of MSS that was not equalled until the last century; an unrivalled understanding of Latin poetry, in particular of the imperial period; and a rare genius for emendation that was refined and sharpened by his literary sensitivity and his familiarity with the ways of scribes. Because of these natural and acquired endowments he was uniquely equipped for the task of editing Claudian."(Hall, Claudian - De raptu Proserpinae, 1969, p.87) Klassieken
