Virgil
PUBLII VIRGILIL MARONIS BUCOLICA, GEORGICA, ET AENEIS Ex Editione Petri Burmanni
2 volumes in 1. Folio. [15 - including subscribers], 4-277, [1]; blank leaf; [8], 307, [2]. Contemporary full calf. Marbled edges. Presentation bookplate in Latin to front pastedown. Covers well worn with some starting at joints. Internally very good with only occasional toning. A fine production of Virgil in both binding and printing. Praised by Dibdin ("magnificent"- pp.558), this edition follows Burman. A slightly off-condition copy of an increasingly uncommon book. [Publisher: Andreas Foulis]
