SCYLAX (Pseudo-). Periplus Scylacis Caryandensis, cum tralatione, et castigationibus Isaaci Vossii. Accedit anonymi periplus Ponti Euxini, è bibliotheca Claudii Salmasii. Amsterdam, Johannes and Cornelis Blaeu, 1639. In-4, fawn calf, double gilt fillet, silent spine, red edges (Binding of the period). First edition published by Isaac Vossius of the Périple du Pseudo-Scylax, an account of a circumnavigation of the Mediterranean and Black Seas attributed to the 6th-century Greek navigator Scylax of Caryanda, to which the Dutch scholar has appended a second, anonymous account of navigation to the Pont-Euxin (Black Sea) and the Meotide (Sea of Azov), taken from a manuscript in the collection of Claude Saumaise. The Greek text and the Latin translation of the two navigational accounts are printed in two columns and followed by a large set of notes in Latin. A copy of Pierre de Maridat (1613-1689), an interesting and rare contemporary provenance, with his fine engraved and coloured bookplate. The important library of this parliamentarian, councillor to the Grand Council, was dispersed in 1687 by André Cramoisy. From the library of Mary Augusta Elton (1838-1914), with bookplate. It does not appear in the (partial) catalogue published by Quaritch in 1891. Spine rebacked, corners dulled, first flyleaf removed.
