STUDENTS' ANNOTATED CICERO --- [8], 951, [1] p. | 8vo | *^4 a-z^8 A-2N^8 2O^4 | 162 x 102 mm --- Title notwithstanding, this volume contains only Cicero's Epistulae ad Familiares (with Manuzio's commentary). The letters to Atticus and Quintus appeared in a subsequent volume, but one continuing our pagination. In 1580, Wechel produced a minor mess of issues of this work, with USTC hosting three records for various permutations. The frequency with which this particular volume has been cataloged as a standalone work suggests each volume might well have been available individually. WorldCat, for example, reports nine holdings across four records for standalone copies matching our pagination (246426791, 630750704, 16285429, 165391957). This would hardly have been unusual—the first volume would likely have been ready sooner anyway—and the publisher here admits to delays. In his letter to the reader, Wechel remarks that a lack of time (temporis angustia) prevented him from also including Cicero's…

Description:
INTERLEAVED AND LINGUISTICALLY COMPLEX --- [24], 276 p. | 12mo | a^12 A-L^12 M^6 | 135 x 81 mm --- An early edition of the French Jesuit's bilingual guide to learning Latin vocabulary, which first appeared at Lyon in 1667, also as a bilingual Latin-French work. It went through dozens of editions, in multiple language combinations, through the middle of the 18th century. ¶ In his preface, Pomey opines that the most difficult obstacle to learning Latin is "ignorance of certain words and terms, which usually fall into colloquial speech [discours familier]. These are the names of nearly all the things that we see and touch every hour and every moment" (a4r). Pomey here aims to help the French student learn these words, providing terms in French with their Latin equivalents. He organizes everything not alphabetically, but conceptually, dividing the entirety into three broad categories: the world and its creation, humans and their attributes, and cities and their parts, this final section…
