Description
LA BRUYÈRE] – The Characters of Theophrastus, translated from the Greek, with the characters or manners of this century. 9th ed. The Hague, Adrien Moetjens, 1696. In-12, (12) ff., 500, XXXIV pp. (Address to the Academy), a few yellowed quires, brown grained calfskin as per the original, decorated ribbed spine. TCH III, 811. A counterfeit of the 9th and final edition published during the author’s lifetime, probably printed in Lyon rather than The Hague, which explains the presence of passages on the League of Augsburg that appeared in the 5th and 6th editions and on William of Orange, which appeared in the 4th edition but were subsequently omitted.
