"The illustrations which appear in this volume of the Aeneid are reproduced from a rare edition of the Opera Virgiliana, published in 1529 in Lyons by Jean Crespin with woodcuts by Johann Gruninger. We are grateful to the Princeton University Library, the Junius S. Morgan Collection of Virgil, for the use of its valuable book." - from the copyright page. "The Aenied is a Latin epic poem, written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It comprises 9,896 lines in dactylic hexameter. The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas's wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem's second half tells of the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed. The hero Aeneas was already known to Greco-Roman legend and myth, having been a character in the Iliad. Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas's wanderings, his vague association with the foundation of Rome and a personage of no fixed characteristics other than a scrupulous pietas, and fashioned this into a compelling founding myth or national epic that at once tied Rome to the legends of Troy, explained the Punic Wars, glorified traditional Roman virtues, and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty as descendants of the founders, heroes, and gods of Rome and Troy. The Aeneid is widely regarded as Virgil's masterpiece and one of the greatest works of Latin literature.". Gruninger, Johann (woodcut illustrations) (illustrator).…

"The first printed map of European origin devoted to Southeast Asia and its islands" (Suarez) Woodcut map. First state of the map of Southeast Asia from Laurent Fries's edition of Ptolemy's 'Geographia'. The woodblock was subsequently re-carved, removing the title and ribbon banner that appears along the upper edge. The map, which shows the Malay Peninsula, Indochina, and some of the islands of Indonesia, "is the first printed map of European origin devoted to Southeast Asia and its islands, and as such is a cartographical landmark, codifying the recognition of Southeast Asia as a distinct entity" (Suarez page 114). Laurent Fries settled in Strasbourg in about 1519, where he met the printer and publisher Johann Grüninger, who worked with the Saint-Dié group of scholars including Martin Waldseemüller. Grüninger printed several maps prepared by Waldseemüller, and supervised the cutting of the woodblocks for the 1513 Ptolemy. Fries and Grüninger subsequently worked together on Fries's own edition of Ptolemy in 1522, in which nearly all the maps were similarly drawn from Waldseemüller's atlas, however they added three new maps: of the world; of China and Japan; and the current map, based on information as expressed in Waldseemuller's world map of 1513. Grüninger reissued the atlas in 1525.…
