- Hardcover
Graies Inn And Furnivalls Inn Gates In Holborne & at the hand and Bible in Duck lane: R Best, Jo Place & Sam Cartwright, 1652 A good copy of an early edition of Ralegh's history, first published circa 1616. Ralegh (circa 1552-1618) wrote the work while imprisoned in the Tower of London - intending it to contain Five Books to bring it up to modern time. He only completed Book I. In early full leather binding with blind stamp to the centre of both boards dated 1688. Complete with 6 double page maps and 2 folding battle plans. With decorative head and tailpieces and initial capitals. Contents: decorative title page placed as a frontispiece; second title page with portrait of Ralegh; Preface - 32pp; Chapter Index 25pp; Book 1 pp1-184; Book 2 pp 181-555. Page numbering restarts with Book 3 pp 1-129; Book 4 pp130-260; Book 5 pp 261-669; Note to the Reader 2pp; Chronological Tables 24pp; Index 24pp.
The binding has been repaired at some point - possibly in the 1800's - replacing the spine and adding a newer title label, while retaining the boards. This repair is showing wear at the joints and at the top and bottom of the spine. The boards show wear to corners particularly and to the top edge. Internally the preliminary and end leaves were replaced at the repair; the 2 title pages have been repaired (there was some loss to the second title page); early leaves have some paper repairs (well done); there is some neat scholarly annotation at some points; there are 2 areas of worm damage - one from page 260 in the top margin close to the gutter (this continues for a number of pages - it affects the chapter headings at some points but does prevent the text being read) and one in the outer side margin of pages 371-471 which does not affect text; there is repair to some maps but this has been well done; and some of the page numbering is wrong eg p 512 followed by p 517 but there is no break in the text. Generally the text is clean and in good order. There is occasional marking. Please ask if you would like to see additional images.

1686 LIVY & Tacitus History of Rome Ab Urbe Condita Caesar Augustus Punic WARS"Men of outstanding ability are more likely to lack the power of controlling their own people than of defeating an enemy in battle."
― Livy, The History of Rome
Few works on the history of Rome are as important and impactful as Livy's 'Ab Urbe Condita' or 'Histories'. Livy began working on this work at the end of the 1st-century BC and covers the earliest times and the foundation of Rome through the reign of Caesar Augustus.
This enormous 1628 edition of Livy was published in Frankfurt and features the annotations and commentary by Jan Gruter and Franz Modius. Gruter's edition of Livy is considered one of the best, in fact,
"The merit of dividing the books of Livy into the chapters now in use belongs to Gruter, who, in the preface to his last edition of that historian, states that he had done the same for other authors, and that future editors were welcome to adopt the divisions which he had suggested."
