ANACREON
Anacreontis et aliorum lyriocorum aliquot poëtarum odae. [In Greek and Latin]. [And:] Anacreontis teii antiquissimi poëtae lyrici odae, abe Helio Andrea latinae factae. Paris, Guillaume Morel for Robert Estienne, 1546. In-8 (100 x 162 mm) 122 pp. 1 blank page; 54 pp. Ivory vellum with flaps (18th century binding). Renouard, 161:1; Adams, A-1003. Second edition of the translation by Henri Estienne. "The Latin version is materially part of the Greek volume; but that of Helias Andre, though numbered separately, and with an express title, must not be less united with it. They are not always in agreement, the new translator having adopted in the text several lessons which are not those of the edition of 1554. Henri's version and his notes are preceded by a short preface" (Renouard). Nice copy; Henri Estienne's name is crossed out on the title and on pages 70/71.
