Gronovii, & selectis Variorum Commentariis illustrata.]. ]. 8vo. pp. 28 p.l., 869; 2 p.l., 998, [86]; 12 p.l., 750, [2], 316, [28]. additional engraved title. 3 text engravings. woodcut printer's device on titles. woodcut ornaments & initials. A fine set in contemporary vellum (covers bit soiled). "This is by far the most beautiful and correct edition of Seneca." (Harwood) [It] is one of the most elegant of those published by the Elzevirs: in the first two volumes are comprised the whole works of [the eminent Roman Stoic and philosopher], which are illustrated with the entire notes of Lipsius and Gronovius and a selection of various editors, and Fromondus's notes and emendations of the 'Natural Quaestion', &c. At the end of the second volume is an useful and sufficiently copious Index. The third volume contains the works of [his father, Seneca, the] Rhetorician, illustrated with the entire notes of Faber, Schottus, and Gronovius, a selection of the Commentaries of various Annotators, and the inedited notes and emendations of Schultingius, and an Index. Though this edition may not be immaculate, it is certain that it is incomparably the most useful and valuable which has yet been published: it is now very rare and dear."(Moss) "This edition of Seneca is one of the rarest and dearest of the octavo Variorum classics: its typographical beauty is equal to its editorial correctness. Scholars who possess it will do well to treasure so valuable and commodius a work." (Dibdin) Willems 1477. Rahir 1581. Berghman 2138. Dibdin (4th Edn.) II pp. 398-99. Moss II p. 579. Brunet V 277.
