AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Treasure of 16th-century typography: the complete works of the Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus, accompanied by the famous critical and philological commentary by the Flemish humanist Justus Lipsius.
Printed in Lyon in 1576 from Antoon Gryphius's prestigious press, this volume marks a milestone of European Humanism.
Author: Publius Cornelius Tacitus (C. Cornelius Tacitus)
Editor: Justus Lipsius (Joost Lips)
Publisher/Printer: Antoon Gryphius (Apud Ant. Gryphium)
Place of Printing: Lyon (Lugdunum)
Year of Publication: 1576 (MDLXXVI)
Binding: Exquisite contemporary full parchment soft binding (vellum), with a manuscript title on the spine (C. Taciti Opera).
Printer’s Marks / Iconography: Splendid and famous Gryphius typographic mark with the Winged Griffin above the altar, present on both the title page and in internal sections of the work.
The volume stands out for the richness and completeness of the classical texts contained within its pages:
Annales et Historiae libri qui extant: The surviving books of the Annals and Histories.
De moribus Germanorum: The well-known ethnographic treatise known as Germania.
Julii Agricolae vita: The biography dedicated to Gnaeus Julius Agricola.
Dialogus de Oratoribus sui temporis: The inquiry into eloquence attributed to Tacitus (ascribed to an Anonymous Writer).
Notes and Critical Commentaries: In-depth notes by Justus Lipsius and Vetranius Maurus, enriched by geographical appendices and lists of ancient names and peoples (Elenchus in Annales reliquosque Corneli Taciti bellos).
Condition: The book presents in good and fascinating overall condition for its venerable age of nearly 450 years. The paper shows the typical browning and patina of time (light foxing).
Integrity: The internal structure is solid, with a flexible original parchment binding intact.
Paginated pages: 925 + 46 + 158. Complete book.
The packing will be carried out with professionalism using the most suitable materials possible to prevent any damage during transport.
Happy bidding to all from Magazzino 77
