About this Item

[4] ll., 330 pp.; [24] ll., 202 pp., [13] ll. Both titles within identical alegorical woodcut border depicting at its base a recumbent Cleopatra pressing adders to her breasts, Dionysus pulling the beard of an old man, etc.; illustrated with woodcut capitals, headpieces and fleurons; first page of NOCTES within large woodcut border depicting the founders of Cologne, Agrippa and Agrippina [all illustrations by Hittorp?]. 1 vols. Folio. Very interesting and beautifully decorated Cologne printings by Cervicornum who seemingly specialized in humanistic works and standard Latin classics such as these, working for the publisher Gottfried Hittorp. He may, alas, be best remembered by posterity for his piracy of Erasmus s edition (originally printed by Froben) of Epistolae Tres by Jerome in 1520, as well as Erasmus Vita Hieronymi, taken from Erasmus edition of St. Jerome s works printed by Froben in 1516. Neither edition in Adams (but see Q-25 for 1525 ed. of Quintilian by the same printer); OCLC 312995446 (Quintilianus) and OCLC 7686353 (Aulus Gellius) Contemporary calf, covers elaborately ruled and tooled in blind; spine perished; internally, some soiling and staining throughout, but sound; in a quarter morocco slipcase with chemise [4] ll., 330 pp.; [24] ll., 202 pp., [13] ll. Both titles within identical alegorical woodcut border depicting at its base a recumbent Cleopatra pressing adders to her breasts, Dionysus pulling the beard of an old man, etc.; illustrated with woodcut capitals, headpieces and fleurons; first page of NOCTES within large woodcut border depicting the founders of Cologne, Agrippa and Agrippina [all illustrations by Hittorp?]. 1 vols.
