Coi Opera Omnia.Graece & Latine Edita, Van der Linden

Beschreibung

First edition (Leiden edition of van der Linden). Two volumes. Engraved title and engraved portrait of Hipocrates to the front of volume one. Full brown leather binding with simple gilt decoration and titles to the spine. Both volumes have a little rubbing to the spine, and with loss to the top surface leather on the spine (worse to volume 1 - see photographs). A few historiated initials and small vignettes throughout each volume. Dedication to the front of volume one. All edges gilt. Internally clean and tidy with a little darkening only. Text in Greek and Latin. Of particular interest in this copy is the ownership history. To the front of each volume is the paper ex libris of Syston Park, the celebrated library of Sir John Thorold. This library was largely dispersed by Sothebys in 1884 (although this copy does not appear to have been in that sale). The is also the small leather label of Huth Library "Ex Musaeo Huthii". This library was begun by Henry Huth (1815-1878) and continued by his son Alfred H. Huth. The Library was dispersed by Sotheby's in a number of sales between 1911 and 1920. Finally there is an ownership mark of John Burns dated 1920. Collation: *-***4, A-Lll8., [2], a-ttt6, (index) a-i3. pp = [38], 1-878[ii]., [4], 1-1034, [130]. pages. 200 by 125mm (7¾ by 5 inches). .
