C. Plinii Caecilii Secundi Epistolarum Libri X et Panegyricus. Accedunt Variantes Lectiones. Lugdunum Batavorum: Ex Officina Elseviriorum, 1640.

 

-------------------

 

An attractive early copy of the Elzevir Press edition of Pliny's Epistolae, printed before their famous cum notis variorum editions which began in 1655, and therefore quite an early example of what would become perhaps, aside from Aldus, the most celebrated series of Latin Classics.
