About This Item
Lugduni Batavorum [Leiden], apud Samuelem Luchtmans , 1744. 2 vols. in one, 8vo. pp. [xl], 748, [cxx]. Letterpress title-page printed in red & black; additional allegorical title-page engraved by Frans van Bleyswyk; contemporary sheep, gilt spine, rubbed and worn but sound. A soldier, senator and hsitorian, Velleius Paterculus covers Roman history from the earliest times to his own, c. AD 30. He was a friend of Sejanus, and may well have shared his fate when Sejanus fell suddenly and fatally from Tiberiuss favour. Dibdin describes both of the editions of Pieter Burman the elder as excellent: the first was published in 1719; ours is the second, a reimpression of the first with considerable improvements. Dibdin II, 525. Book
