About This Item
Lugduni Batavorum [Leiden]: Cornelium Boutesteyn & Johannem du Vivie, 1706. 4to, pp. [xxxvi], 903, [lxv], including engraved frontispiece. Title-page in red and black with vignette, woodcut head-pieces and initials. Title a bit thumbed, intermittent slight mainly marginal browning or spotting, lower outer blank corner of 5Z2 and 5F4 (blank) torn, small paper flaw to same corner of 5Z4. Contemporary vellum, blind-stamped to a panel design, blind-stamped lozenge-shaped centrepiece to covers, raised bands, title inked to spine. A bit dust-soiled, upper joint minimally splitting at foot. Near contemporary annotations to a couple of leaves. One of the best quarto variorum editions of the classics, highly praised by Harwood: 'This edition has much literary merit [...] the notes of other critics are selected with judgement, and the explanatory remarks of Gronovius must give every scholar the most exalted idea in his singular erudition'. Dibdin specifies that it contains 'the entire collation of two MSS by Scioppius, and some excerpta from the corrections of Ludovicus Carrio'. 'Still very sought-after.' (Schweiger). 'As yet the best and most complete edition.' (Ebert) Schweiger I 379; Dibdin II, 341; Ebert 8291; Moss I, 204-5.
