Bohn boards bordered with a gilt rule spines divided by raised bands between gilt rules second third and fourth compartments gilt-lettered direct marbled edges and endpapers. Occasional toning and spotting a handful of leaves with a marginal stain from before binding. A little rubbing and scratches spine ends just a touch worn and vol. 1 joints cracking. Binder’s ticket to front pastedown pencil note signed ‘TLM’ to binder’s blank about a dozen marginal corrections and annotations in an early hand in vol. 2; from the library of the Gaisford family though without mark of ownership. 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.

Specimens of Theocritus.

17604496Oxford: n. pr. 1760. 4to pp. 8 numbered 1 91-94 94 93 42. Stitched as issued sometime folded horizontally. Toned in places final page browned some spots and light soiling edges a little creased. ‘Thick’ in a small contemporary hand to top corner of first page. An unrecorded specimen for an unspecified edition of Theocritus but probably Warton’s highly regarded version issued in 1770 by the Clarendon Press. The cover title reads simply ‘Specimens of Theocritus’ but no other quarto edition of the author was published in Great Britain in the 18th century. The arrangement is unusual: the first page is the section title. The second prints the introduction and first ten lines of Idyll VI while the third page begins Idyll VI again but prints the first twelve lines this time without accents. The fourth page follows on from the text on the second now with a Latin translation at the foot in a single column. The fifth page starts Idyll VI again printing the first 12 lines without accents but omitting the scholiast’s introduction adding instead a Latin translation in two columns. The sixth page is just a Latin translation of the first thirty or so lines in one column and the seventh page contains scholia and the eighth variorum notes. Warton’s edition uses a layout similar to that on the third page here though in the published book Idyll VI appears on p. 31 and other details of typography vary; the type itself is similarly very close but with considerable variation in use of ligatures between the specimen and the published text. On the other hand Warton’s edition also does not include variorium notes and the text of the scholia there is significantly different to the specimen page. The crucial element is that Warton’s edition was notable for the absence of accents in its Greek text - testing whether such a change would work may make sense of the variations in this specimen and the variorum notes may have been cut along with portions of the scholia by the time the edition was in the press. Letters between Toup and Warton indicate that printing was underway as early as May 1768 so this specimen would likely predate that. [n. pr.] unknown
