About This Item

Lugd. Batavorum : ex officina Elzviriana [sic] [ Elzevir - Elzeviriana ], 1621. 1st thus.. Hardback. Later half calf over marbled boards, G. engraved tp+789+[29]pp, includes the following errors in pagination - pp161-162 omitted, pp472, 538 mis-numbered 272, 438 respectively with the signatures running A-3E8 ( the text is complete & continuous ), lacks the initial blanks, leather cracked at the rear hinge & upper hinge cracked at the gutter - both boards are attached but are fragile & require careful handling, occasional yellowing of the pages due to lesser quality paper stock being used, a good copy of an uncommon Elzevir. Early ownership signature at the base of the engraved title. Some copies have a printed title instead - it is supposed that the engraved title was not finished in time for the press on ealy copies. The works of the Roman historian & orator Publius Cornelius Tacitus [ 56 - 117 ] as edited by Justus Lipsius [ 1547- 1606 ]. Lipsius oversaw several editions through the press, improving his text each time. Rahir 150, Willems 178 - ( who called the quality of the printing of this book from the presses of Bonaventure Elzevir as 'médiocre' ).

Terms of Sale

Eastleach Books

All our books offered are in at least good condition, with the majority very good and better. Descriptions are brief, but PLEASE ask for more detail if required. We can scan books & jackets, signatures etc. MINOR inscriptions ignored in NON FICTION titles, unless really detrimental to the book - but then a 150 year old ink name adds character surely? Modern hardbacks are described as being Cloth bound, even though predominantly they come in paper covered boards pressed to look like cloth. Book grades are given book then dustjacket (if any) Running from F - Fine, VG - Very Good, G - Good, P - Poor. A fine book will look almost like the day it was bought, a VG one will have some evidence of prior ownership, G means a nice clean copy, obviously secondhand & P implies a COMPLETE copy that has suffered a hard life & will need some TLC. We take into account the books age when grading, so a 250 year old book graded as VG will look more second hand that a 5 year old book graded the same. On the Net since 1998. All prices are in GBP. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Switch & Solo or JCB. After your order is placed, FAX your card details etc to +44 (0)1635 48444. Any Book may be returned - but please let us know prior to sending a book back. We wrap each book individually and don't just stick em in a jiffy bag with a prayer. Paperbacks are packed with card stiffeners. WE BUY BOOKS! Happy reading!
