Book description: Antwerp: Ex Officina Plantiniana (Plantin), 1598 THEODORUS GALLAEUS DELINEABAT ROMAE EX ARCHETYPIS INCIDEBAT ANTUERPIAE MDXCIIX. 88pp + (8pp) + 150 engraved portrait plates (from M. Aemilius Lepidus to Zenon - lacking plate 97 - Numae Pompili). Also bound in is APPENDIX AD IMAGINES ILLUSTRIUM EX FULVII URSINI BIBLIOTHECA, ANTUERPIAE A THEODORO GALLAEO EXPRESSAS. 1606, consisting of the title page and 17 engraved plates. Following is an INDEX (4pp) of the main work with the colophon date at the end of Sept. 11, 1598. Binding is very good full calf with raised bands and spine labels. The contents are very good, with the one plate missing and a few plates with minor spots or tidemarks. The main title page is sophisticated, it appears that the center core of the original title page was trimmed to its engraved limits and pasted onto a blank page and the bottom 3 text lines of the latter printed APPENDIX title were trimmed and pasted underneath that, so that the title page has both dates; (1598) for the main title, and 1606 for the APPENDIX. The 88 Latin text pages are brief biographies of the 151 subjects of the main work, a who's who of the classical world. 22 x 17 cm.. Full-Leather. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
