Captures a special sense of place and lets us find out what it's really like to live there." - from dust jacket.

pp. [8], 328. Engraved title page. Foxed. 24mo. 13 cm. Worn contemporary full leather binding. This is a page-for-page reprint of the 1650 Elzevier editions; and the second of two impressions of 1671 (without the preliminary headpiece). Willems 1462n. Valerius Maximus was a widely read Roman author, but little is known of his life. This work, [Nine Books of Memorable Deeds and Sayings] was written around A.D. 30 and is a miscellany of anecdotes about a variety of subjects. It was especially important as a source for writers and orators. The Dutch family of Elzevier (Elzevir; Elsevier) were the foremost printers of their time. They produced a vast variety of well printed scholarly and popular books; many in a very small handy format. Louis Elzevier, the founder of the firm, produced his first book in Leiden in 1583. The 'golden age' of Elzevier printing was between 1620 and 1680. The Elzevier dynasty probably produced their last publication in 1770. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 6
