Description from the seller

Flavii Aviani fabulae, cum commentariis selecties Albini scholiastae veteris, notisque integris Isaaci Nicolai Neveleti et Casparis Barthii: quibus animaversiones suas adjecit Henricus Cannegieter. Accedit ejusdem dissertatio de Aetate et stilo Flavii Aviani.

Most important first scholarly edition of the famous 42 fables by the Latin poet Avianus (ca. 400 AD) in its original edition. A parallel edition appeared at the same time in Leiden by Johannes van der Linden in 1731.The editor, Hendrik Cannegieter (1691-1770) was a classical scholar and historian and (con)-rector of the Latin school at Arnhem. To his edition he added the commentaries of the scholastic writer Albanus, the notes of the German philologist Caspar Barthius (1587-1658) and those of Isaac Nicolaus Neveletus who edited the most important collection of humanistic and 16th-century fables, first published in 1610, with the title Mythologia Aesopica.

A lovely gilt decorated binding from the city of The Hague. With an engraved printer's device ("Dum spargit sperat") on the title-page (which is printed in red and black), and some woodcut initials and tailpieces.

Octavo: Pages: [24], 324, [72] pages. Some pages toned through paper quality and age.
