Dionysii Halicarnassei Scripta Quae Extant Omnia, Historica et Rhetorica; Nunc Primum Universa Latine Edita: Universa Latine Edita: illa quidem olim per Gelenium; sed eita modo interpolata per Frideric. Sylburgium, ut pene nova versio dici quent: Haec vero a variis translata, ut altero illo Volumine videndum est. Hanoviae: Joannis Aubrii, 1615.

 

Dionysius of Halicarnassus' Complete Works, Both Historical and Rhetorical; Now for the First Time Published Entirely in Latin: Entirely Published in Latin: the former indeed by Gelenius; but now revised by Frederick Sylburg, so much so that it can almost be called a new translation: the latter translated by various people, as can be seen in the second volume. Hanau: Joannis Aubrii, 1615

Collated as complete with both volumes bound into one, the second volume usually lacking, here complete. Hinges split but backstrip securely attached to page block, joints secure, with boards securely attached to binding. Retains the original rather numerous blanks, including the two between the two volumes. No attached bookplates. Dampstaining in bottom right corner to the first half of the second volume, and in the top margin of the second half of the second volume, not obscuring text. Generally bright throughout the text, not with loss of sense. A lovely copy of a scarce edition of Dionysius' works.
