Statius, P. Papinus.

Sylvarum Libri V.

Cantabrigiae: Thomas Buck, 1651. [16], 128p 127-163p, [1], [8], 48p, [2]. Contemporary full calf. Front board detached. Dibdin p424 is unusually brief in his commentary with only the following phrase: "Printed by Buck. This edition is scarce and excellent". Needless to say, considering the shortness of his bibliographical description, one is left to ponder the rest. Ebert #21697 "A very scarce edition even in England, and said to be not without merit". The leather on the spine is a little cracked, but otherwise fine. Internally a fresh clean copy. Very Good. Item #10000

12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
