Author: Cicero, Marcus Tullius:
Title: Epistolae ad Familiares. Pauli Manutius Annotationes breves in margine adscriptae. Eiusdem scholar. Verba Greca Latinos expressa. Dionysii Lambini Monstroliensis viri doctiss emendationes, & earum rationes. Gulielmi Canteri locorum aliquot explications & emendationes, nunc primum editae.
Description: Amstelreodami (sic) [Amsterdam]: Henricum Laurentii, 1626. 8vo., pp.[xvi], 487, [i]. Printer's device to title-page, woodcut initials. A few tiny manicules etc to margins. Faint tidemark to first gathering, final two gatherings nibbled along edge of lower margin but no loss of text. Contemporary vellum, title inked to spine, fore-edges slightly overlapped, edges sprinkled red. Spine darkened, quite a few smudgy marks and stains, corners frayed especially at the bottom of the upper board, turn-ins lifting and endpapers grubby but still a very good, if well-used, copy. To title-page, ownership inscription of James Forbes in an old hand. To ffep also in an old hand, the name Cornelius Heijmenberg crossed through followed possibly by Gerardii (smudged), three lines of numbers, and the name Heijmenberg then repeated. To ffep verso a single line of ms, 'So have I seen a King on Chaff'. Seemingly a reprint of the 1577 Estienne with notes of Paulus Manutius, Lambinus, etc. and WIlliam Canter's explanations of place. (see Dibdin I. 423). This edition appears scarce, with Jisc Library Hub finding no copies and Worldcat only one. The Worldcat copy lists no publisher and, as the publisher's name is clearly visible on the title-page here, some room for doubt is left as to whether it is in fact the same edition.
