Bottom edges of boards rubbed gilt page ridge rubbed. 1982 Hard Cover. 425 pp. Grey cloth binding with gilt decoration and gilt edges. Decorative endpapers. "The Aeneid /nid/ ih-NEE-id; Latin: Aenis aenes is a Latin epic poem written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC1 that tells the legendary story of Aeneas a Trojan who travelled to Italy where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It comprises 9896 lines in dactylic hexameter.2 The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas's wanderings from Troy to Italy and the poem's second half tells of the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed. The hero Aeneas was already known to Greco-Roman legend and myth having been a character in the Iliad. Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas's wanderings his vague association with the foundation of Rome and his description as a personage of no fixed characteristics other than a scrupulous pietas and fashioned the Aeneid into a compelling founding myth or national epic that tied Rome to the legends of Troy explained the Punic Wars glorified traditional Roman virtues and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty as descendants of the founders heroes and gods of Rome and Troy."--Wikipedia The Franklin Library hardcover books

An exceptional and exceptionally large "large paper" copy. This copy is complete with the engraved frontispiece the extra plate depicting Vergil reading the Aeneid to Augustus and all 101 of the magnificent engraved plates by W. Hollar called for in this edition: ten in the Bucolics twenty in the Georgics and seventy-one in the Aeneid. Bound in 17th-century paneled calf very nicely rebacked in the 18th-century. The spine is separated into eight compartments ruled and tooled in gold by raised bands. There are two spine labels one in red and one in green morocco tooled in gold. The boards are framed by a single gold fillet.Internally this copy is in superb condition with very little of the browning associated with this edition. The great majority of leaves are crisp lily-white and wide margined. In fact this is the largest and cleanest copy that we have had the pleasure to handle. There are a few incidental marginal tears only one of which –now mended- enters an engraving opposite p. 261. The final leaf is ink-stained. "Dryden's 'translation of Vergil'" says Pope whose own translation of Homer was inspired by Dryden's work "is the most noble and spirited translation I know in any language." Thomas "The book was published by subscription a system of joint-stock patronage now coming into vogue. . Dryden's correspondence with his publisher Tonson showed a good many bickerings during the publication. One cause of quarrel was Tonson's desire that the book should be dedicated to William III. Dryden honourably refused; but Tonson had the engravings adapted for the purpose by giving to Aeneas the hooked nose of William Dryden Letter to his son 3 Sept. 1697." DNB"Shakespeare probably knew at least the earlier books of the 'Aeneid' in Latin while Milton's 'Paradise Lost' attempts to provide an English equivalent not only for Vergil's epic themes but even for his syntax diction and as far as possible meter. But in Britain he was also particularly well-served by translations. In the seventeenth-century the epic was translated by Dryden."
