Book Details

Author: Aurelius Victor, Sextus: (Arntzenius, J., ed.:)

Title: Historia Romana, cum notis integris Dominici Machanei, Eliae Vineti, Andreae Schotti, Jani Gruteri, nec non exerptis Frid. Sylburgii & Annae Fabri filiae / curante Joanne Arntzenio [?].

Publication: Amstelodami [Amsterdam]: apud Janssonio Waesbergios. Trajecti Batav. [Utrecht]: apud Jacobum a Pools 1733.

Description: 4to., pp. [xlviii], 668, [cxxxiv] (including one full-page engraving) + additional engraved title-page. 4R4 omitted but text contiunous, as usual. Title page in red and black with engraved vignette, illustrations (mostly numismatic) and a few decorations. Occasional light foxing, head margin a little toned at very top edge, change in paper quality from p.201 onwards resulting in toning (as has been the case in all copies of this book that have passed through our hands), mark (wax?) to 4A1. Vellum school prize binding with gilt arms of Arnhem to each board, later red morroco title label to spine, a few smudges and marks to vellum, ties lost, very good. Bookplate of Em. Dubus to front pastedown.

The text is a new recension by Arntzenius, based on the work of Schott. Dibdin includes this edition on his list of best quarto variora, and notes: 'It is certainly an elaborate performance [...] the edition is indispensable to the collector's library.'

Bibliography: Dibdin (4th edn.) I 343; Schweiger II 1136; Graesse VII, 299; Spoelder 506 (Arnhem 2)).
