About This Item
Leovardiae [Leeuwarden]: excudit Franciscus Halma, 1717. 2 vols., 4to, pp. [ccxxxiv], 717, [1] + frontispiece; [ii], [719]-1308, [192]. Contemporary blind-panelled vellum, spines lettered in ink. A little light spotting and soiling. Bindings strained at front hinges, flyleaf of vol. I almost detached, vellum somewhat soiled and marked, spines darkened. Masvicius's sumptuously-illustrated edition of Virgil, "held in estimation by scholars of no mean fame" (Dibdin). It includes a large index to Servius. Dibdin remarked on the book, "the notes of the old commentators, placed under the text, are sometimes curious and amusing", and "the punctuation of the text differs considerably from what is commonly received: but this is a subject on which the greatest literary figures will disagree". He included it in his list of best quarto variora in the third edition of his 'Introduction to the Greek and Latin Classics'. Dibdin (4th edn.) II 550. See also 3rd edition, at end.
