[Virgil] Vergilius Maro, Publius: (Brunck, J. P. F., ed.:) - Bucolica Georgica Et Aeneis.

Argentorati [Strassburg]: Typis Philippi Jacobi Dannbach. 1789. 4to., pp. [iv], 430, [ii]. Faint, blotchy toning to first few leaves, occasional very slight spotting. Contemporary light tan tree calf, spine heavily gilt with red Morocco label, edges sprinkled red, blue marbled endpapers. A few recent notes loosely inserted. Slightly sunned spine, joints a little rubbed, a few small ink stains to upper board, to lower board a small area of scratched and three small wornholes at joint, very good, attractive copy. Second Dannback printing of Virgil (the first being the 8vo. of 1785), with the recension of J. P. F. Brunck. Stylistically, the production takes its influence from the uncluttered large quartos of Baskerville, who is indeed praised in the publisher's preface. 'These editions are not only very beautiful specimens of typography, but they present the text of the poet complied with great care and correctness, in which the ancient orthography and true reading are endeavoured to be restored.' (Dibdin). Schweiger II, 1180; Dibdin II, 561-2.
