A fine, contemporary Sammelband containing the SECOND EDITION of the poems then believed to be the work of Anacreon, the ancient Greek poet. The editio princeps had been printed just 2 years earlier by Morel for Henri Estienne, and it 'virtually caused a poetic revolution, not only in France, but also in Italy and Germany -- where this influenece culminated in the 18th century with the Anacreontic Poets' (Schreiber Estiennes, 139). The present edition is the first publication of Robert Estienne II. Adams A-1003, T-715, F-84 (wrongly collated A-D4), P-976; Brunet I, 250 (Anacreon).
