PLUTARQUE. Les Œuvres morales & meslees, tradues de grec en françois, reveuës & corrigees en ceste troisième edition en plusieurs passages par le translateur. Paris, Michel de Vascosan, 1575. In-folio, fawn morocco, decorated in the Du Seuil style, spine decorated, edges mottled (19th century binding). A magnificent edition of Jacques Amyot's translation, revised and corrected by him and published, three years after the first edition, by Michel de Vascosan - and his son-in-law Frédéric Morel, whose name only appears in the colophon - in the same majestic format as the Lives of Illustrious Men (1559). A very fine copy bound in morocco à la Du Seuil. Minor rubbing, discreet angular repair to the first few leaves, some very scattered light foxing and spotting. Mortimer, n°442 - Brunet, IV, 738 - Dumoulin, n°254 - Picot-Rothschild, II, n°1899.
