Sobre este artículo
Small folio. pp [16], 398, [2], fine engraved frontispiece portrait bust of Lucian by Faithmore, with verse underneath, bound in contemporary speckled polished calf, spine with braided bands and red Morocco label, sympathetically rebacked by the Heitage Bindery using the original spine. A very good fresh copy throughout with nice margins now housed in a cloth clamshell box with a red morocco label. FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Much confusion surrounds this title, as to whether or not it was issued with the second edition of Hicks translated Lucian, as indicated by the title page, but nowhere else referred to. Hick s second edition was indeed issued in 1663, though by a different publisher, and is often found bound up with the second issue of the present collection, which is dated 1664. Copies of this 1663 first issue appears to be complete without it. Since this copy is in a contemporary binding, it s independence of the Hick s is quite certain. Madan makes this clear when he says [III. 2642]: The two parts are entirely unconnected, even by references to each other. The whole of Mayne was printed in Oxford, and the whole of Hicks reprinted in London. I have not yet seen any 1663 copy with the Hick s part, but only separately published, in spite of the title. Madan thought this copy to be rare and without a portrait, though this copy does have one.
