Oxford: J. Parker & T. Payne & H. Foss & G. B. Whittaker, 1826. Leather. Very Good. 8.5" by 5.5". None. A two volume set of Sophocles' tragic dramas, with fragments of lost plays to volume two. Volume one has been hollowed out to make a book-safe. Two volumes. Latin language. The pages of volume one have been excised to make a book-safe, or hollowed-out book in an attempt to conceal objects within. Books have often been used as a concealment device because they are readily available and inconspicuous in most settings, the safe can be clear to recognise for the owner but don't stand out to a thief. Many examples are found in television and film. Volume two contains some of the Sophocles' seven tragic plays, with sections in the original ancient Greek and notes in Latin. The plays included are Philoctetes and Electra, with fragments of the lost plays to the rear. Written by Sophocles, an ancient Greek tragedian. In the original full calf binding.

Paris: Henri Estienne, Paulus Stephanus, 1557. First Edition. Hardcover (Full Leather). Very Good Condition.

There is no obvious order to the plays, with the three authors intermingled in each volume. The first volume is the title pages, prefatory material and notes.
