Los 17 | Lucan's Pharsalia
Schätzwert
$ 2 000 – 4 000
First Colines edition of Lucan's Pharsalia, in a contemporary London binding. An attractive edition of an important ancient poem on the Roman Civil War, with the ownership inscription and notes of a contemporary English owner. The text is based on that of the 1502 Aldine octavo, with some revisions, and the binding—with boards made from sheets of a Latin edition of Aristotle's Physics—is blind-stamped with a roll identified by J. Basil Oldham as being used in c.1511-1540 London. Adams L-1569; Renouard, Colines, p. 125; not in Schreiber.
Octavo (154 x 102mm). Woodcut printer's device on title and criblé initials throughout (first few leaves a little soiled, some light dampstaining). Contemporary London blindstamped calf [Oldham tool 946/SW.b (3)] over flexible boards made from sheets from a Latin edition of Aristotle's Physics, with ties, fore-edge title (neatly rebacked, lacking pastedowns and flyleaves). Providence: several early inscriptions, including those of "Henricus Welfettus" (Henry Welfett, signature and initials in several places, and student marginalia to beginning of book one), "Jhon Thomson," "Willnupar Keronsyys [or Keroussys] boke," "Harrisius me Jure tenet," and "vermis et non homo" ("I am a worm and no man").
