Upper margin along the hinge shows a water mark in the preliminary matter o/w a very nice clean copy. Longinus was a Greek Platonic philosopher and rhetorician of the 3rd century AD.

His authorship of the present work is desputed. Praised by Dibdin and Gibbon this edition of these commentaries on The Sublime by the anonymous author known as Longinus "is one of the greatest of all critical acheievements. An illuminating dissertation on style accompanied by many penetrating judgements as well as suggestive pronouncements on critical standards and principles the treatise is unique in its interpretation of the classical spirit its compelling enthusiasms its sanity its freshness and its unerring insights into the essentials of art."OCD.

This is only the second translation of the BCP into Greek following the first by Elias Petley in 1638. There were apparently two settings of this edition produced by printer John Field in the same year under the same title and imprint with priority not established; the present example has line six of the main title-page all in capital letters and the "Alma mater Cantabrigia" device following the last page of the Psalter but while the sun is on the left and the cup on the right of the Psalter title-page device they are reversed on the New Testament title-page apparently indicating that the New Testament is from a variant post-dating the BCP and Psalter.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary mottled calf Cambridge-style covers framed in double gilt fillets and panelled in triple gilt fillets with gilt-tooled corner fleurons; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-ruled compartments.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Front free endpaper with early inscription in red pencil: "Gibson's / Queens / Oxon. / 1787."

First Edition of the New Testament in Modern Greek. First edition of the New Testament translated into modern Greek. An important and attractive publication sponsored by the States General of Holland to foster amity between the Greek and Reformed Churches. The modern Greek was prepared by the monk Maximus of Gallipoli and the edition was authorized by the Patriarch of Constantinople Cyril Lucarius who contributed a Preface. The edition is reported to have consisted of some 1500 copies. The rationale behind the preparation of this text was much the same as the impetus leading to the publication by Elzevier of a modern Greek translation of the Dutch Reformed Catechism in 1648.

Cambridge: James Field 1664. 12mo. 1 f 171 1 blank pp. lacks blank leaf k6.<br>Â Â Â Â The mid-17th century was a low point in the history of English typography but in this pair of Anglican religious texts James Field printer to the University of Cambridge produced => a very good example of the printer's art of Greek printing especially in the use of a small point size. The guiding force behind their production was James Duport 160679 dean of Peterborough and master of Magdelene College Cambridge a noted scholar of Latin and Greek and supporter of the university press. The preface to the Book of Common Prayer is signed with his initials and it is established that he was the editor of the Psalms; the texts were almost certainly issued together but are also at times found individually in contemporary binding.<br>Â Â Â Â Field's minute typography here is dense and presented chiefly in double-column format in both works; and instead of woodcut head- or tailpieces and xylographic initials he deploys printer's ornaments to enliven the text at the top of some sections and occasionally elsewhere. => The layout is overall lovely and thoughtful and the printing is extremely clear and precise.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary morocco with covers framed in a single blind fillet; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-stamped compartment decorations. Marbled endpapers all edges gilt. => All pages ruled in red in the best style of the era.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Isaac Watts 16741748 the godfather of English hymnody is also fondly remembered for his Psalms of David: Imitated in the Language of the New Testament a work that was reprinted over a thousand times. His ownership signature is on the blank leaf opposite the BCP title-page here. Later the volume was owned by Charles Mayo 17671858 a scholar of Old English who dated his ownership as "St. John's College Oxford 1787."

The first edition of the Septuagint printed in England with the Scholia the scarce printing in quarto format. The text is derived from the Sixtine text and edited by John Biddle 1615-1662 the Unitarian controversialist who was imprisoned by the Parliamentary Commissioners for his religious views. <br/>The SCHOLIA . has a separate title-leaf register and pagination. The same setting was imposed in both quarto and octavo formats the latter with rules separating the columns of text. In regard to institutional representation the edition in quarto is much more uncommon than that in octavo: ESTC locates 4 copies of the quarto printing in North America as opposed to 19 of the octavo printing. Occasionally Daniel's reprint of the New Testament is bound up with the octavo printings to form a complete Bible. Brunet cites that format but notes the sale of a copy on "Gr. Pap." presumably a copy in this format. Over the last 35 years ABPC records sale of one copy in quarto 1999 and four in octavo.
