C. C. Sallustii Crispi quae supersunt opera. Conivratio catilinae. Bellum iugurthinum. Histoiarum libri a Ludovico Carrione collecti & restituti. Una cum annotationibus & scholiis

The rare first edition of these works of Sallust in Latin and Greek.
Full modern Flemish vellum binding perfectly executed.
A second part containing Carrione's commentaries and Sallust's text in Greek has its own title page: In C. Sallustii crispi catilinam, et iugurtham. Aldi Manutii Paul F. Scolia. Cypriani a opma emendetiones. In Histotiarum lib. VI a ludovico carrione suma diligentia collectos. 1574. Printer's device of Pierre de Saint André on the title page. These works of Sallust are a reprint of the Greek texts held by Aldo Manuce in Venice. The work is formed of two distinct parts, the first is a Latin translation, the second is composed of commentaries by Louis Carrion of Bruges and Sallust's texts in Greek. Louis Carrion was a specialist in the Greek language in the 16th century, he contributed to numerous editions. 16th-century editions of Sallust appear to be rare, only Oxford holds a similar copy, and only the Russian National Library holds 3 works prior to 1500. The majority of the earliest editions found in libraries are from the 17th century. A manuscript ex libris: johannes Frederici Gronovii (17th century), a second engraved: Bibliothèque du Dr Broca.
