Description:
London: George Sawbridge, 1674 pp (22) + 107 + 183-429 . In addition to the frontispiece there are five folding plates. This copy is complete despite the jump in pagination after page 107 ; it corresponds with that in the British Library. Internally very good subject to moderate browning, some fraying to the fep and fairly inoffensive evidence of moisture to the edges of the first few leaves. Hinges cracked although binding still holding. Cover, which looks to be contemporary, rather worn. The boards scuffed with wear to the edges and corners. The ornate spine has significant wear to both extremities. Scans available.

Cambridge: Printed by John Hayes, 1670. [8],296pp. Octavo. Modern three quarter tan calf and marbled boards. Some occasional light foxing or mild spotting, otherwise a very good copy, quite neatly bound. First edition. One of the naturalist and theologian's most significant out-of-genre works, assembled over a span of at least a decade, and drawing upon his own observations, the works of Fuller, Howell, Camden, Herbert and others, as well as oral and unpublished sources to compile as comprehensive as possible a collection of "short Sentence[s] or Phrase[s] in common use containing some Trope, Figure, Homonymy, Rhythme, or other novity of expression" - Preface. Its publication raised considerable interest, and submissions from readers and friends swelled the second edition of 1678 by "some hundreds" of additions. However, from the second edition he omitted a significant number of proverbs that proved offensive to "sober and pious persons...." KEYNES 10. ESTC R13689. WING R386.

Description:
This small volume contains the potery of Claudius Claudiani, known as Claudian (c. 370-c. 404 AD). A poet of Greek origin who wrote in Latin, he has been considered the last significant poet in the classical tradition and was in particular known for his epigrams praising Romans in significant political positions, as well as his poetry on mythic topics. He was considered a poet of importance in the Middle Ages.This edition of Claudian's works was published by Daniel Elzevier, a member of the significant Dutch publishing House of Elzevier, in 1677. This is an excellent example of the small editions for which the House of Elzevier was particularly well-known, measuring approximately 2.5 inches wide by 4.5 inches tall, and its contents accord with their focus on classical works as well as editions of the Greek New Testament.
This particularly edition of Claudian's poetry includes a life of Claudian written by Giglio (here identified as Lilio) Gregorious Giraldi (1479-1552) taken from his work on the… Read More

This is a First edition thus of the "Quatrième Edition, revue & considérablement augmentée", printed in 1780. New articles are starred (*) to differentiate from those which had appeared in previous editions of this momumental work. This a complete 12-volume set, with each volume between 500 and 600 pages. Later bindings are still tight and text remarkably free from foxing, fading or other blemishes, BUT it is in places rather heavily underlined in pencil and/or ballpoint. This concerns maybe 1% of the text and does not impact its readability. See photos.
