Synopsis
An Introduction To The Knowledge Of Rare And Valuable Editions Of The Greek And Latin Classics: Together With An Account Of The Polyglot Bibles, Polyglot Psalters, Hebrew Bibles, Greek Bibles And Greek Testaments, The Greek Fathers And The Latin Fathers by Thomas Frognall Dibdin. This work presents a dense bibliographic survey of the edition histories and textual destinies of major classical authors. It catalogs editors, printers, manuscript bases, the shapes of editions, and the rarity and value of copies, with emphasis on textual criticism, the race to establish authoritative texts, and the collecting impulse that drives vellum and large-paper copies across major European libraries. Biographical notes touch editors such as Warton and cross-reference other bibliographic authorities (Renouard, Harles, Harwood, Jacobs), situating editions within a web of scholarly authority. Structured by author, the volume traces Aldine and early incunabula through to modern scholarship, detailing apparatus such as scholia, Notitia literaria, lexica, and indices, and highlighting the role of printers, houses, and provenance in shaping edition history. The excerpt functions as a foundational reference for cataloging edition-practice, provenance, and the evolution of textual criticism in classical philology.
