About This Item
Lutetiae Parisiorum [Paris], Typis Regiis., 1620.. Folio. pp. [xii], 843, [cxx], 282, [x]. Greek and Latin parallel text. Title printed in red and black, with engraved device. Marginal waterstaining and mould-damage to the lower fore-corners, affecting approximately the first and last 40 leaves. Late 18th century sprinkled calf, a little rubbed and worn to extremities, upper joint renewed. Old ownership inscriptions to title, including Thomas Blomer, 1661, possibly the Rev. Thomas Blomer, schoolfriend and correspondent of John Locke, and Chaplain to the Earl of Northumberland. This is the second Casaubon edition, described by Dibdin as much more accurate and splendid than the first. The first edition of the classical geographer Strabo was printed by Aldus, but was based on a very poor manuscript. Casaubons editions are the first great, critical editions of this infrequently printed author. Dibdin II, 433. Book
