PLINE LE JEUNE. Epistolarum libri decem, in quibus multæ habentur epistolæ non ante impressa. Ejusdem Panegyricus Trajano imp. dictus... Paris, Jean du Pré and Jacques Le Messier for Gilles de Gourmont, 1518. In-8, brown morocco cold-stamped with a chequered pattern framed by a wide frieze of intertwined ropes, three-ribbed spine decorated with cold fillets, letters eple in ink on the tail edge (Binding of the period). Second edition published by Gilles de Gourmont, after that of 1511. It was based on the Aldine edition of 1508, from which it reproduces the dedicatory epistle by Aldus Manutius and contains, like it, the Letters of Pliny and the Panegyric of Trajan, but also Les Hommes illustres de la ville de Rome, falsely attributed to Pliny, Grammarians and rhetors by Suetonius and the Book of Prodigies by Julius Obsequens. An attractive copy in an elegant contemporary stamped morocco binding of a very rare type. Handwritten annotations in the margins. Handwritten bookplate crossed out and wet stamp at the bottom of the title. Missing the last leaf kk8 (typographical mark). Light marginal spotting. Minor rubbing and worm damage to boards and hinges. Moreau, II, n°1924.
