The works of Publius Vergilius Maro - later known as Virgilus, in English as Virgil, 70BCE-19BCE - The Bucolics, (now know as the Ecologues), Georgics, and Aeneid are probably the best known epics of the Roman period - indeed the Aeneid, an epic in the heroic style (i.e., in twelve books), was adopted as the National Epic of the Roman Empire itself. Binding is rubbed and marked, corners bumped with loss, wear to extremities. Later, but not recent reback, with original spine laid down. Hinges reinforced with cloth, which combined with the rebacking, have ensured the binding remains tight. Marking to page edges. Provenance: Richard Jackson, F.R.H.S. and Vice President of the Dante Society, with his bookplate to FEP. Internally sporadically marked, odd foxing spot. Some damp staining and ink marking, probably to about twenty leaves in total. Small tear and old repair to gutter of leaf F, affecting a few words of text but with no loss. Some contemporary pen anotation, much of it faded into the background! A wide margined copy.
