About This Item
Oxonii [= Oxford]: E Typographeo Academico [= at the University Press], 1832. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo. [6], 6-324, [2] pp. Bound in contemporary smooth calf, spine in six compartments. Front and rear board stamped in gilt, with a bust of (presumably Dindorf) on the front board and bottom compartment of the spine. Edges of the boards show gilt tooling. Brown morocco label lettered in gilt on the spine. Patterned endpapers and pastedowns. Text in Greek, with Latin notes and commentary in the rear of the volume. Very occasional owner's annotations (in a contemporary hand), translating a few of the Greek words. OCLC: "Wilhelm Dindorf"; Moss, vol. 1, p. 2. The first edition of Dindorf's Aeschylus, published separately from his compendium of the Greek tragedians' plays, in a lovely binding. Aeschylus was the oldest of the three great Greek tragedians. His Oresteia and Prometheus are widely read by modern Greek students and classical literature scholars. His plays evoke a dark, verbose style that conveys the serious nature of his subject matter. He was a great influence on Sophocles and Euripides, and on the Roman playwrights. A lovely example with moderate foxing to the free leaves and an owner's name dated 1941 on the free front endpaper.
