Ludg. Batavor. [Leiden]. Ex officina Elzeveriana. 1636. 12mo (130x70mm), pp. [xl], 411 + [xliii index]. Engraved title, small woodcut vignette with author's portrait on [*]4, and an extending map of Aeneas's voyage. Title dusty with ink splash, minimal spotting, lower outer blank corner of T torn.Contemporary vellum, yapp edges, later endpapers. Rubbed, spine tanned, corners bruised. Bookplate of Robert J. Hayhurst to front pastedown, few 18th century editorial annotations throughout. Black instead of red ink in the passage printed in capital letters, 'EGO VERO FREQVENTES [...]' facing p.1 of Bucolics and the dedication 'SI MIHI SUSCEPTUM [...]' on p.92, shows this to be a copy of one of the two 'false' reprints of the first edition, also 1636. The absence of Errata on p.411 further distinguishes it as a copy of the second, less beautiful, of these reprints. Willems 450
