Engraved title-page by Mathey precedes the letterpress title; another engraved plate opposite p. 676, and wood-engraved vignettes and initials throughout the text. "Obscoena e textu Ausoniano resecta" and indices follow the works. One 4to. volume: lxvii, 684, [2], 16, [152] pp. Contemporary boards, skillfully rebacked, with original gilt-stamped spine laid-down, marbled endpapers, all edges red. Ex library; only a bookplate and a discreet embossed stamp to t.p, and no other marks. A few, random gatherings are lightly age browned, and the boards show some scuffing and wear. However, it is clean and fresh overall, and in very good condition in a handsome binding. According to Brunet, this is a highly regarded edition of Ausonius' work. .
