Title: Quae extant. Ex editione Danielis Heinsii expressa.
Description: Glasguae [Glasgow]: In aedibus Academicis excudebant Robertus et Andreas Foulis, 1746. Pot 4to, pp. [xii], 32, 45-192 (as called for). Early 20th-century sprinkled calf by R. Nelson, boards bordered with a double gilt rules, spine divided by raised bands between double gilt rules, central gilt tools in compartments. Some light soiling in places. Rebacked preserving most of original backstrip, around 40 binders' blanks at end, edges rubbed, some scrapes to boards. Bookplate of Jacob Bennett Miller to front pastedown. The pot 4to issue containing just the Greek text, conjectured by Gaskell in his first edition and confirmed by Brian Gerrard for Gaskell's second edition: gatherings A and B signed are with * and the paper has a Royal Arms watermark. The first bifolium is oddly trimmed (or oddly imposed), with the inner margin substantially larger than the outer. This was the first book in which Andrew Foulis's name appears with Robert's as University Printer. Gaskell 78; ESTC T138485.
