Description: [2], LII, 232 pp.The well printed celebrated "Biponti society" edition of Phaedrus, part of a renowned series of Greek and Latin texts published in the German city of Zweibrücken (Biponti, a town near Sarbrücken), starting in 1779. The edition is partly based on the edition of Johann Albert Fabricius (1621-1736) as edited by Johann August Ernesti (1707-1781). Ultimately, however, the starting point of the edition was the Petrus Burman recension, with notes by Gudius and with fables added from the Romulus, the Niccolò Perotti (1430-1480) appendix and others, as well as the Avianus and ‘Anonymous’ (i.e., "Anonymous Neveleti") fables mentioned. The book also contains the Vita Phaedri by Johannes Scheffer (1621-1679), and the "Notitia literaria de Phaedro ex Jo. Alb. Fabricii Bibliotheca Latina" by the editor Ernesti (pp. xiii-lii), and "De Anonymus vetere fabularum auctore..., latin. ed Ernesti" also by the editor.Top and bottom of spine bumped.l Schwabe/Barbier, 111-112.
