First text edition published by Scaliger, in second issue (first issue printed in 1572). 18th century smooth calf boards with blind ruling and gilt stamping with more modern repairs to the corners, spine redone in a brighter leather with red morroco labels.

Engraved printer's mark on title page, some engraved initials and headers, text in Latin with some Greek, the text and commentary (front and back in the In Priapum section) have extensive old marginalia and underlining in brown ink some of which has bled through to the verso.

Scaliger's look at the Appendix Vergiliana, a collection of poems and texts once attributed to Virgil but now mostly not. It includes Culex, Ciris, Aetna (a didactic poem particularly interesting because of its naturalist look at volcanoes) , Copa, Moretum (looks at the preparation of a meal by a poor farmer and his African slave, including directions on grinding and making a kind of pesto) , Catalepton, and Priapea. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 548 pages.
