Estimate value
€ 300 – 500
An interesting collection of editions of Cicero's orations together with the tenth dialogue from "the book of the dead" by Luciano densely annotated by contemporary hands. The notes, written in Latin and French, are mainly comments to the text but there are also some quotations and even jokes written by different hands that sign in various ways. The work had probably been used by one or more French students in his university studies.
