Hardcover. Condition: Poor. A scholarly and critical Latin edition with extensive commentary and notes throughout.

The frontispiece, showing the head of Alexander on four medallions is rather worn and torn with some loss around the lower spine-side coner. The other corner is torn across but not yet detached. The illustrated title is, though whole, also rather worn, with some abrasion across the top fore-corner. The text block, though it has been trimmed for the binding, is rather fresher for a book this age, with few blemishes. Apart from the frontispiece and illustrated title page there are 16 one page plates of attractively illustrated scenes of Alexander's military travels; 6 similar 2pp folding plates with dramatic artistic treatment; 1 folding map; 11 one page plates of other more schematic subjects and 2 illustrations in the text.…

Hardcover. Condition: Good+. First Edition. Folio. 2 volumes.Volume 1 1-824pp & Volume 2 285-1367pp + index Salmasius, Claudius 1588-1653, French humanist and philologist. Salmasius is known in French as Claude de Saumaise. After studying Latin and Greek with his father, he began a law career at Dijon in 1610. He turned to the study of theology, Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian when his Protestantism impeded his advancement in law. In 1631 he was called to the Univ. of Leiden to succeed Joseph Scaliger. There he produced 80 books and became widely known as a scholar of the first rank. Supporting the Stuarts, he wrote Defensio regia pro Carlo I (1649), upholding the divine right of monarchy, which brought a celebrated dissenting reply from John Milton. Salmasius major works include an important commentary on Pliny (1629), and Observationes in jus Atticum et Romanum (1645). In 1629 Salmasius produced his magnum opus as a critic, his commentary on Solinuss Polyhistor, or rather on Pliny, to whom Solinus is indebted for the most important part of his work. Greatly as this commentary may have been overrated by his contemporaries, it is a monument of learning and industry. Bookplate of MP Charles Bathurst. Piece missing from top spine volume 1. Book.…
