Erstausgabe
In-8° (192x115mm), pp. (18), 588, 108 di "Index in Florum", 46 [tale parte con autonoma numerazione contiene il "Liber Memorialis" di Lucio Ampelio], (4) bianche, legatura coeva p. pergamena con unghie. Tagli a spruzzo. Frontespizio calcografico con figurazioni mitologico-allegoriche inciso da Dalen. Fregi tipografici in xilografia; il commento del Saumaise è posto in calce al testo di Floro. Qualche fioritura minima. Alcune macchie alla pergamena. Ottimo esemplare. Prima edizione elzeviriana, curata con grande acribia dal Saumaise, dell'epitome liviana di Floro, lo storico e poeta romano vissuto a cavallo tra il I e il II secolo. Il Saumaise (Salmasio), nato a Sémur-en-Auxois nel 1588, morto a Spa nel 1653, celeberrimo filologo e critico, erudito tra i più stimati e prolifici del suo tempo, fu di prodigiosa precocità, tanto che a soli sei anni pare fosse in grado di leggere e commentare nell'originale l'osticissimo testo delle "Odi" di Pindaro. Dopo un periodo passato all'Università di Heidelberg, abiurò il cattolicesimo in nome del calvinismo, soggiornando per alcuni anni in Germania. In seguito ad alcune dispute religiose, preferì riparare in Olanda, dove ebbe una cattedra a Leida, e poi a Stoccolma, dove godette della protezione mecenatistica di Cristina di Svezia, rifiutando i reiterati inviti a rimpatriare da parte prima di Richelieu e poi di Mazzarino. Ricevette anche da Carlo II d'Inghilterra la committenza di scrivere un'apologia di Carlo I, suo padre, fatto decapitare da Cromwell, la "Defensio regia pro Carolo I", apologia che fu poi oggetto di una replica scritta nientemeno che da John Milton. La smisurata erudizione del Saumaise (era padrone di moltissime lingue antiche e moderne ed era dotato di mostruosa memoria) rimase quasi proverbiale, tanto che ancora Balzac poté scrivere che ciò che era sfuggito a un tale uomo mancava alla scienza, e non al suo genio. Willems, 1258. Graesse, II, 605.

Kunst / Grafik / Poster Erstausgabe
First edition in English. Folio, pp. [x], 1-804, 809-1351, 1354-1403, [xliii]. Usual errors in pagination, some with old MS corrections. Bound without the initial blank leaf A1, but with the final blank leaf 6F6. Large printer's device to title-page with engraved portrait of Elizabeth I to verso, ornate headpieces and initials, errata at rear. Marginalia in an old hand including some rudimentary manicules, some symbols and underlining in pencil (more profusely annotated towards the front), p.928 margin has 'Chapter Sixteen' in fairly modern blue ink. Title-page very dusty, repaired at fore- and bottom edges and reattached at gutter, with small, round library ink stamp very faintly to recto and second library stamp with pencilled details to verso. Round library ink stamp of Campion Hall to p.3. First 7 leaves after title-page slightly short at fore-edge (apparently due to being repaired and reinserted at gutter margin, as the red edge decoration is still visible at the edges of these leaves). 6C3 (pp.1403-4) torn horizontally with approx. one quarter of leaf lost at bottom edge but with no loss of of text, only parts of two woodcut embellishments lost. M6 with tiny hole to centre affecting a few letters, horizontal crease to 2E4, occasional light dampstaining, a few tiny scorch holes and ink spots. Dark brown reverse calf, modern reback with gilt 'Livy' tooled directly to 2nd compartment, initials W.D. with ornate centrepiece in between to each board, edges sprinkled red. Some spots and stains, small hole to leather on rear board, endbands renewed, corners repaired, dampstaining to edges of endpapers. A very good, sound copy overall. Three library ink stamps: to title-page recto, round stamp of Ipswich Mechanics Institute; to title-page verso, very faded stamp with codes and 'Ipswich Institute Gift' added in pencil; to p.3, round stamp of Campion Hall. Small slip of paper reading 'Rev. H. Campbell' loosely inserted. First edition of the first published work of translation of Philemon Holland (1552-1637). The Romane Historie was the first time Livy's Latin history of Rome, Ab Urbe Condita, had been fully rendered into English. It was considered 'a work of great importance, presented in a grand folio volume of 1458 pages, and dedicated to the Queen. The translation set out to be lucid and unpretentious, and achieved its aim with marked success. It is accurate, and often lively, and although it does not attempt to imitate the terseness of Latin, it avoids prolixity. As part of his book Holland translated two other substantial works an ancient epitome of Roman history which provides an outline of the lost books of Livy, and Bartolomeo Marliani's guide to the topography of Rome as well as some smaller texts. These were taken from the edition of Livy published in Paris in 1573; by translating them, Holland was making available in English a great learned compendium of historical knowledge, not simply a single ancient author.' (Considine, ODNB) The revised translation of Marliani's Topographia Antiquae Romae is here titled 'The Topographie of Rome' and is found at pp. 1348-1403. The 'Breviaries' are translated from Lucius Annaeus Florus' 'Epitomae Rerum Romanarum', which is itself an epitome of books 46-140 of Ab Urbe Condita. ESTC S114001.
