About This Item
Ex Officina Elseviriana, Lugdun. Batavor. (Leiden), 1649. Hardcover. Very Good. 1649. 442 pages, with unpaginated indexes following. Standalone third volume from a three-volume series of the works of Seneca the Younger (BCE 4 - 65 CE) & Seneca the Elder (BCE 54 - c. 39 CE). This recension of the elder's works was prepared by Andre Schott (1552-1629), a Renaissance Jesuit priest and scholar of the Duchy of Brabant, and first appeared in 1607. This is the second Elzevier edition of this recension, reprinted nearly line for line from the earlier Elzevier of 1640; although less sought than the 1940 edition, Willems (no. 672) calls this edition very beautiful, "fort belle." Leather binding with four raised bands and a leather title plate on the spine, gilt titling and decoration. Leather scuffed with moderate rubbing to edges and points of fraying at fore-edge corners; leather dry and cracked over the spine, with minor chipping to spine head and some loss of the title plate. Front outer hinge beginning to split, but binding else intact and sound. Pages age-toned and lightly foxed. Bookplate belonging to "Richard Cox Esq" adhered to front paste-down, interior else clean and free of markings. Engraved vignette at title page. 3" x 5". (BP-028).
