Description:
London: Printed for Jacob Tonson, 1697. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. An exceptional, and exceptionally large, "large paper" copy. This copy is complete with the engraved frontispiece, the extra plate depicting Vergil reading the Aeneid to Augustus, and all 101 of the magnificent engraved plates by W. Hollar called for in this edition: ten in the Bucolics, twenty in the Georgics, and seventy-one in the Aeneid. Bound in 17th-century paneled calf, very nicely rebacked in the 18th-century. The spine is separated into eight compartments, ruled and tooled in gold, by raised bands. There are two spine labels, one in red and one in green morocco, tooled in gold. The boards are framed by a single gold fillet. Internally, this copy is in superb condition with very little of the browning associated with this edition. The great majority of leaves are crisp, lily-white and wide margined. In fact, this is the largest, and cleanest copy that we have had the pleasure to handle. There are a few incidental…

Cambridge: Ex officinâ Johan. Hayes, celeberrimæ Academiæ typographi. Impensis Richardi Green bibliopolæ Cantab, 1694. FIRST EDITION of Joshua Barnes' Euripides. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in contemporary English calf, rebacked preserving the original spine. The boards are blind-ruled in compartments; there is an attractive red morocco lettering piece, gilt, on the spine. Aside from light wear and bumping to the corners, the binding is very well preserved. Internally, this copy is in excellent condition throughout. The Greek text is surrounded by the Greek scholia and flanked by a Latin translation, in smaller type. The second part is introduced by a divisional title page. "The merits of all preceding editions are eclipsed by this celebrated one of Joshua Barnes. Fabricius observes that 'the text is accurately revised and printed, the metrical rules of Canter diligently corrected, and the entire ancient scholia on the first seven plays subjoined and enriched by excerpta from a manuscript in Corpus…
