Description

4to. ff. [2] (blank), [1] (plates), [14] (prelims), pp. 246, 588, [192], ff. [2] (blank). Signatures: â4, ê4, î4, ô2, A-Z4, Aa-Gg4, Hh3, 2A-Z4, 2Aa-Zz4, Aaa-Zzz4, AAaa-DDdd4, EEee2, a-z4, aa4. Contemporary French calf. Gilt filet on boards’ edges. Gilded spine on 5 bars, red panel. Red edges. Signature “A.G.” on first blank. Manuscript note on second blank in French, stating this is a first edition because of its worn aspect and its engraving by Cossin. Engraved title vignette. Four headpieces, engraved initials. Full-page engraved pate (frontispiece) signed "L. Cossin Sculp." Publii Virgilii Maronis Æneis has distinct title page. Part I: Bucolica and Georgica with paraphrase in Latin prose and notes. Part II: Aeneis with paraphrase in Latin prose and notes. Part III: Index vocabulorum omnium quae in Eclogis, Georgicis et Aeneide Virgilii leguntur. The first of the four editions of Virgil issued within the original series of the Delphin classics (64 vols., 1674-1730). The list of that series in Ebert's Allgem. bibl. lex. no. 5906, and in Schweiger's Handbuch d. class. bibl. II, 2, p. 1268, includes the second and third editions only (1682 and 1722), the second being considered the most valuable. The fourth edition appeared in 1726; cf. also J.-C. Brunet, Manuel du libraire et de l'amateur de livres. Paris, 1864, vol. v, p. 1290. The present work includes the first formal dismissal of Virgil’s authorship of the Culex, and other aspects of the ‘Appendix Vergiliana’, as discussed in I. Peirano, Rhetoric of the Roman Fake: Latin Pseudepigrapha in Context.
