Publisher: Paris, Jean Marchant et Jean Petit
Condition: Very Good
An early 16th century Jean Petit edition of Justinus’s condensed version of Trogus' lost Liber Philippic Histories, a history of the kings of Macedonia. Also included is a collection of four and thirty epithets by Lucius Floris, four most learned epithets in the ten decades of Titus Livius, by Sextus Rufus, a consular man, to Valentinian Augustus, a most worthy work on Roman history.
Graesse dates the edition to around 1510, but Renouard dedicated to the Parisian marks associates the mark present in this edition with a work of 1508.
One vellum bound volume in quarto, (18)+CXL [Actually CXLI] +(1) leaves
