Synopsis
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 by Thomas Frognall Dibdin. This reference work provides a dense, cross-era bibliographic survey of edition history and textual criticism, tracing printers, dates, and critical reception from the 15th to the 19th centuries. It emphasizes the edition practice surrounding major classical authors, noting how readings were established, which manuscripts were consulted, and how later editors defended or revised earlier readings. The volume foregrounds rarity and collector interest, with frequent notes on large-paper and vellum copies, bindings, and auction prices, and it identifies printers and editors such as Aldine, Elzevir, Mentelin, Plantin, and Bipont as markers of reliability and prestige. It functions as a catalog for librarians, scholars, and bibliophiles, detailing edition lines, editors, and the evolution of textual criticism across Europe.
