"An Introduction To The Knowledge Of Rare And Valuable Editions Of The Greek And Latin Classics: Together With An Account Of Polyglot Bibles, Polyglot Psalters, Hebrew Bibles, Greek Bibles And Greek Testaments; The Greek Fathers, And The Latin Fathers" by Thomas Frognall Dibdin is a scholarly bibliographic reference surveying the printing and critical history of the Greek and Latin classics. It inventories the most important and rare editions, the editors and printers responsible for them, the textual sources and apparatus employed, and the current state and market value of surviving copies, including vellum and large-paper varieties. The work traverses author by author, detailing princeps and later editions, the editors and printers, and the libraries that house notable copies, with emphasis on editorial philosophy, MSS collations, Notitia literaria, lectiones, and the evolving textual apparatus. It highlights the lineage of editors and the resources used to establish robust texts, as well as provenance and rarity that shape value in bibliographic markets. The volume includes concise author-focused summaries to illustrate how critical editions developed across Europe and how textual criticism has matured over centuries.
