      Frankfurt: Apud Andreae Wecheli. , 1600 - some spotting, title a little dusty, pp. [iv], 632, 30, [30], folio, late eighteenth-century calf, boards with a thick gilt fillet border, rebacked, backstrip with five raised bands between gilt rope tools, old green morocco label preserved in second compartment, the rest with central blind flower tools, corners worn, some scratches to old leather, good The Wechel edition of the Greek Anthology, which united the best text to date with the most substantial commentary: in this volume are the second edition of Henri Estienne?s text (first published 1566), and the second edition of Jean Brodeau?s notes (first published 1549). Commentary by Vincent Obsopaeus is also included, as well as additional scholia which have been attributed to Marcus Musurus. The accuracy of the text has been criticised, but Harwood refers to this as the editio optima. (VD16 E1640; Adams A1188/E247; Schweiger I 30) [Attributes: Hard Cover]
