[10], 42p, 206p, 239-405p, [8]. Contemporary calf professionally rebacked with a new spine. Jonathan Toup (1713-1785) was an English philologist and classical scholar.A celebrated edition. Dibdin p180 writes 'Throughout the whole work there is much erudition and excellent criticism on the original displayed, and it is likewise so elegantly printed, that it may be recommended as one of the most admirable editions of a classical author which any country has yet produced'. Toup's name, writes Clarke, is almost forgotten today, but among his contemporaries he enjoyed a considerable reputation. He adds further that it was Toup's Longinus that first aroused Richard Porson's interest in criticism. See p57 Clarke Greek Scholarship, 1700-1780. Contemporary signature of W. Chambers Coll. Magda. Oxon on the inside front board. Corners bumped and a little rubbed along the extremities otherwise internally clean. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 008192
