Marbled endpapers and pastedowns. Bound with a silk pink ribbon bookmark, bound without the half-title. Text in Greek and Latin. Greek and Latin text and notes, edited and corrected by Johannes Gottlieb Schneider. Dibdin 504. Moss 695-696. Oxford Classical Dictionary 1504-1505. Theophrastus was student of Aristotle's and an accomplished philosopher and logician. His Characters, one of the surviving works from his prolific canon, constitutes a list of brief outlines of negative personality types exhibited by people. Moss refers to Schneider's edition as the best one, Dibdin says "the collector should not be without it." The book contains an account of the surviving manuscripts which provide modern readers with the remaining works of Theophrastus, and incorporates elements of Amadutius' editing into his own. This is the first Schneider edition of Theophrastus' Characters. A touch of rubbing to the corners, two ink inscriptions. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000013139
