Antverpiae, ex officina Plantiniana, Apud Ioannem Moretum, 1607. 8vo. Very elegant later (ca. 1850) hcalf in old style w. raised bands, gilt back and blindstamped ornamentations as well as green title-label on back. Woodcut printer's device on t-p. and last blank leaf. Near cont. owner's name (Tauxier) and a crossed out cont. owner's name on t-p. T-p. lacking minor part of lower right corner, far from affecting text. Excellent and near mint copy. Later notes on front end-paper. Additional handwritten 17th cent. index on last leaf, otherwise only containing printer's device. Beautiful woodcut vignettes. (16), 394, (4) pp.

First edition thus. Beautiful and excellent Plantin-edition. "An elegant and correct edition. The commentary of Bernartius occupies the latter and greater portion of the volume." (Dibdin I: 352).
