Thick paper copy. Leaf 10-3/4 × 7 in. On p. 1050 is written _Collegii
Societatis Jesu Embricae 1605_.
From the library of Sir J.H. Thorold of Syston Park, with book-plate.
Bound by R. Storr, Grantham, in red morocco, gilt edges, with anchor on
sides. The "Dictionary of English Book-collectors," pt. 2, calls
attention to the Aldine anchor (made more realistic by an end of rope
cable twisted about it) stamped by the Grantham bookbinders Messrs.
Storr & Ridge upon many of the Thorold books, "not only those bound by
themselves, but also those bound by far better men." Examples of both
kinds are found in the present collection.
As an illustration of the first Greek type of Aldus there is joined to
this collection a finely executed manuscript facsimile on vellum of his
_Musaeus_ of 1495, his second book (preceded by the Grammar of
Lascaris), but the first in which the font appeared in its completed
state. From the Syston Park library. Bound by Bozérian Jeune, in blue
morocco extra.
