Description
PATIN (Charles). Commentarius Caroli Patini, on the ancient monument at Marcellina, recently brought from Greece. Padua, Printed by the Seminary Press, 1688, small quarto booklet, paginated 368 to 418 – 1 plate. 19th-century beige half-cloth binding. – Interior fresh; a small worm-eaten area on the final leaves does not affect readability; modest binding. The large double plate, engraved on copper, depicts the marble mausoleum: ‘Smyrnaeum Marcellinae Antistitis Monumentum’. Allegorical vignette on the title page. Printed on heavy paper. The pagination runs from 374 to 383 with no missing pages. This study is one of three published under the general title ‘Commentarii in antiqua monumenta’. Although they shared a common pagination, each had its own title and was sold separately. Charles Patin (Paris, 1633 – 1693), a scholar of numismatics and a physician, was forced into exile in Padua, from where he published various works on medicine and numismatics. Included are: - ANACREON. Odae et fragmenta graece et latine. Edited by Joanne-Baptista Gail. Paris, Didot the Elder, Year VII, (1799), in-8, 2ff.-167pp. Paperback, plain cover, untrimmed. - Fragile binding, foxing and pinholes, water damage on the first two leaves. Greek text with Latin parallel text. Carefully set type.
