17. 18s.

"One of the most splendid editions of Homer ever delivered to the world," says Harwood, "and I am informed that its accuracy is equal to its magnificence." The reader, on perusing the preface, will see with what pains this sumptuous work was executed: each sheet, before it was finally committed to the press, was six times corrected by various literary men. See De Bure.

fine set, with Parma, 1480

See Affo dell' Typogr. Parma, Sect. 15, p. 72. "St. Jerome or Hieronymus was born at Stridon, on the confines of Dalmatia, about A. D. 340. He devoted himself to the study of the Heb. Ling. at Jerusalem, and then went to Antioch where he was raised to the priesthood by Paulinus, bishop of that city. He afterwards retired to the monastery at Bethlehem, where he employed himself in translating the Heb. Bible, and died there, A. D. 420, aged 80. Jerome is certainly one of the most useful of the primitive Fathers, whether Greek or Latin; and his works are considered to be very valuable. Bibl. Dict.

Francof. ap. Wiechel, 1596

"Dionysius Lambinus, magnus Horatius sospitator,' was a scholar and critic of no ordinary power and acuteness; his editions, which marked a new era in Horatian criticism, have deservedly met with universal applause. He was unquestionably one of the most excellent editors of the Greek and Roman Classics." Dibdin.

81 Isocratis Opera, Gr. et Lat. Wolfii, best edition, a few leaves slightly wormed, otherwise a good copy, neat in calf, Basil. 1570

17. 18s.

"The merits of Wolfe are considerable: he has corrected the Greek text from the Fuggerianian M. S. and examined all the ancient editions down to the Editio Princeps. His conjectures are frequently happy, and his corrections judicious, though he sometimes deviates from the authority of the old editions. The folio edition of 1570 may be called the edit. opt." Dibdin.

"John Lightfoot was born at Stoke, in Staffordshire, in 1602. He was a man of uncommon learning and of the most amiable disposition. By his deep researches into the rabbinical writings, he has done more to illustrate the sacred writings, and to explain the various customs &c. alluded to, particularly in the New Testament, than any author before or since. This eminent and pious writer and critic died in 1675. Bibl. Dict.
