Beschreibung

Contemporary vellum with inked title to spine. Moderately soiled and darkened, endcaps a little creased, a few smudgy marks to endpapers. Nonetheless a very good, firm and square with strong hinges, no splits. Contents clean and tidy, Woodcut device to title-page, some woodcut initials and decorations. Just showing a very faint dampstain to lower margin near front. Final Addenda leaf a little creased. Size: 8vo (160mm x 105mm); collation: pp. [xx], 404, [xliv]. Note: the signature of Charles Mayo is showing at the front paste-down. There are several likely Charles Mayos to whom this volume may have belonged: the historian and clergyman (1750-1829); the Old English scholar (1767-1858) or the educational reformer (1792-1846). Everard Feith's (1597-c.1625) short career was focused on ancient Greece. He is believed to have written five works on the subject, of which this is the second, before entering a house in La Rochelle and vanishing without trace in 1625. The manuscripts of his three final works were lost. Antiquitatum Homericarum was originally published by Bruman in 1677, apparently with the encouragment of J.F. Gronovius.
