Comoediae. TERENTIUS AFER (Publius).
Ad optimorum Exemplarium fidem recensitae &c. Accesserunt Variae Lectiones, Quae in Libris MSS. et Eruditorum Commentariss notatu digniores occurrunt.
Titles printed in red and black with engraved vignette and six engraved plates by Muller.
Two volumes. Small 8vo. [160 x 98 x 43 mm]. [11]ff, 186pp; [1]f, 187-358, [8] pp. Bound in contemporary sprinkled calf, the covers with a gilt fillet border, the spines divided into five panels, the bands flanked with a gilt fillet, "Terence" written in ink in the first panels, numbered in gilt in the third panels, the edges of the boards hatched in blind, plain endleaves, red sprinkled edges. (Slightly rubbed and one corner a little worn).
London: J. & P. Knapton, and G. Sandby, 1751
Occasional light spotting, but a very good copy of this handsome publication.
William Sandby's edition of the plays of Terence was printed more or less simultaneously in two formats - the other is a larger octavo of 400pp. This smaller format edition rarely has the plates, though they are regularly present in the larger format.
Bookplate of the Rt. Hon. Henry Hobhouse (1776-1854) of Hadspen House, near Castle Cary in Somerset, now known as "The Newt".
