First title page printed in black & red. Text printed in single & double column. Laid paper. Barten Holyday D.D. (& Late Arch-Deacon of Oxon) (1593-1661) was a theologian, dramatist, & translator. His translation of Persius's satires first appeared in 1616 (& was republished in 1617 & 1635), but this 1673 edition was the first appearance in English of his version of Juvenal (a posthumous edition), translated "line for line & contains voluminous notes". Large heavy folio volume. Bound in contemporary full leather, raised bands, gilt-lettered leather label to spine, small manuscript paper label to spine. NOTE: A FAIR to GOOD COPY ONLY.
