A very nice copy of the famous Warton Theocritus reputed to be one of the most elegant editions ever published by Oxford University’s Clarendon Press. Thomas Warton 1728-1790 Oxford Professor of Poetry and later Poet Laureate wrote satirical verse but also maintained a talent for serious scholarship earning considerable respect for his efforts in this edition: ‘a very splendid edition. every lover of Greek literature is under great obligations to the very learned and ingenious Mr. Warton for this magnificant edition of Theocritus’ Harwood quot. in Dibdin. There are also contributions from the brilliant but difficult scholar Jonathan Toup 1713-1785. Together here with Warton’s edition is an appendix separately published two years later and hence rarely found though explicitly intended to accompany the main text. This copy is elegantly bound by Johann Bohn 1757-1843 German emigre bookbinder likely c. 1810 - Bohn established himself on Frith Street in 1795 and by the late 1810s had shifted focus to bookselling and the binding was plausibly done for Thomas Gaisford 1779-1855 who reached the position of Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford in 1811. Gaisford’s bookplate is absent but the copy was among books recently dispersed by a branch of descendants and Theocritus was an author Gaisford edited for his Poetae Minores Graeci 1814-1820.
