TITUS LIVIUS (59-17 B.C.). Historiarum libri ex recensione I.F. Gronovii. Leyden: [Abraham and Bonaventure] Elzevier, 1644-1645.
3 volumes, 12º (132 x 75mm). Engraved title by Cornelis Duysend and one plate in volume I, woodcut device on titles to vols. II-III. Early 18th-century vellum gilt attributed to Antoine-Michel Padeloup, decorated in fanfare style with wide gilt border on covers made up of triangular compartments and lobes surrounded by smaller tools and fillets enclosing a central rectangular reserve, flat spine with red morocco lettering-piece and volume number directly lettered, the remaining ground filled with four contrasting geometrical compartments and tiny filigree tools, roll-tooled yapp edges, blue edges, together in lined blue morocco case (yapp edges slightly worn). Provenance: ‘A. Vimau 1713’ (inscription on front blank of vol. I with note of cost) --- William Beckford (ex libris) -- Ricardo Heredia, comte de Benahavis (booklabel; in his sale. Paris, Drouot, 29 May-3 June 1893, lot 2986) – Félix Grelot (manuscript note; in his sale 1896, lot 210) – Henri Beraldi (label; his sale, Paris, Galerie Charpentier, 29 May-1 June 1934, lot 77) – [Robert Danon (his sale, Paris, Drouot, 21 March 1973, lot 46)] -- Michel Wittock (label; his sale, Christie’s, Paris, 8 November 2004, lot 240).
A MAGNIFICENT EARLY 18TH CENTURY GILT VELLUM CERTAINLY EXECUTED BY ANTOINE-MICHEL PADELOUP, WITH A DISTINGUISHED PROVENANCE.
First edition of Gronovius's commentary regarded as more correct than the version published by Elzevier in 1634 with Hensius's notes. The set does not include a fourth volume sometimes found with it, Ad T. Livii Patavini libros superstites notae.
