About This Item
London: Aeneis Tabulis Incidit, Iohannes Pine, 1733. First Edition. Near Fine. 1733, 1737. Two volumes. First edition, first issue with "post est" error in the Caesar medallion on page 108 of Volume II. In a lavish full brown morocco binding with five raised bands and ornate gilt stamping to spine, borders on covers, wide turn-ins and beautifully patterned endsheets; all edges gilt. Near Fine, with a light amount of rubbing to joints, spines lightly faded, a scuff to the front cover of Volume II and small former owner bookplates of noted collector Abel E. Berland to the front pastedowns. Pine's Latin text was based on Talbot's 1699 edition, and is remarkable for being entirely illustrated with engraved copper plates throughout the text.
