Etonae.: Ioannes Norton., 1610. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Good. Full calf, contemporaneous with time of publication. Four bands to spine. Binding worn. Pastedowns removed. Bookplate of T. P. Young (Thomas Patrick) to inner front cover. First couple of blank leaves a little ragged and with a couple of inscriptions. Slightly toned. Prelims in Latin, the rest in Greek. 8vo. 8 3/4". One of the earliest works to be printed at Eton, Richard Montagu's Greek edition of Gregory of Nazianzus' two discourses against Julian, dedicated to Archbishop Bancroft, was produced on the press of Sir Henry Saville (1549-1622), biblical translator (involved in the production of the Authorized Version) and then Provost of the College. Saville did much to improve the quality of education at Eton, including extending the library holdings and erecting new buildings, including one to house the press from which five classical and patristic works in Greek emanated between 1610 and 1617, including the monumental eight volume folio edition of John Chrysostom. This work shared the same type, based on the Estienne family type and specially commissioned in Holland, and the same printer, John Norton, then the King's Printer. After Saville's death the press was dismantled and with the type transferred to the Oxford University Press; the building which housed it was subsequently used as the headmaster's residence.
