Other. Tibulli, propertii, ac Ovidii flores, ab Ioanne Murmelio olim selecti, nunc autem ab Augusto Botta Rouescallen. Iocupletissimè aucti, ac recogniti. Edited by Ioannes Murmellius and Augustus Botta Rouescallen. Lugdunum: Ioannes Pullonus, 1547. 117 pp. Text in Latin. Duodecimo in early vellum boards. A partial title has been written on the spine in faded ink. The initials F.R.G.F.C. appear in ink on the title page, and the name Erasmus has been crossed out in two instances. A book stamp (likely placing this volume in a library or collection in Bologna in the 19th century) appears on the final page of text. Condition: Very Good. The boards are very thin and have become cockled. The vellum is somewhat darkened with age and light staining and shows minor insect damage. There is evidence of a closure device, now absent, on both boards. Both paste downs are partially detached, but the binding is overall very solid. The pages are somewhat age-toned with occasional foxing. There are a handful of small ink marks to the textblock. Dimensions 4.25 x 6.375 x 0.625 inches shelved case 3. 1328082.
