About This Item

Oxonii [Oxford]: Typis N. Bliss; impensis R. Bliss, et R. Bliss, jun., 1808. 2 vols., 8vo, pp. xx, 555, [1]; [iv], 186, 197, [1], 190, [2, ads]. Contemporary black straight-grain morocco, boards bordered with a gilt rule, spines divided by raised bands between gilt rules, lettered in gilt direct turn-ins with a gilt swag roll, edges gilt. Paper a little toned, occasional spotting. Bindings rubbed at joints and edges, some small spots of surface wear, spines dulled. Armorial bookplate printed in brown of Henry Harden to front pastedowns. An unusually elaborate production (and binding) for a text published by Bliss, whose usual output was small-format texts for school and university use. It reprints of Brunck's valuable edition of Sophocles, which had been published by the editor in several formats beginning in 1786, though these had been largely expensive and limited productions. Brunck's octavo editions had been spread across three volumes, while this one prints all the Greek texts in the first volume, leaving the second to hold the Latin translations of the plays, then the Greek scholia, and then the fragments, followed by a lexicon and index.
