WIDE-MARGINED COPY OF THIS ATTRACTIVELY PRINTED EDITION in a type a little larger than the 12° Elzevirien. A reprint of the Paris edition of the same year, it substituted a single 'table des matières' in place of three separate tables coming at the end of each volume, for Brunet its 'seule amélioration'. Brunet III, 1837-38; Sayce & Maskell 33; Tchemerzine VIII, 437: 'Jolie édition très recherchée'; Willems 1982. (3)
