1752 antique SCHOOL PRIZED VELLUM BINDING J.F. REITZIUS De ambiguis mediis

Item Details

Description

J.F. REITZIUS,
De ambiguis, mediis et contrarii,
sive
De significatione verborum ac phrasium ambigua
Utrecht, 1752
title-page printed in red and black
xxvii, 670 pp
Size 5 by 8"
Original vellum with central gilt coat of arms of AMERSFOORT within ornamental border with corner fleuron on both covers,
spine gilt with fleuron, lacks ties.
With the prize to "Joannem Kluppel", dated 1767.
Binding soiled, very good interior
Text in Latin

Pomponius Mela, who wrote around AD 43, was the earliest Roman geographer. He was born in Tingentera (now Algeciras) and died c. AD 45.
His short work (De situ orbis libri III.) remained in use nearly to the year 1500.
It occupies less than one hundred pages of ordinary print, and is described by the Encyclopædia Britannica (1911) as "dry in style and deficient in method, but of pure Latinity, and occasionally relieved by pleasing word-pictures."
Except for the geographical parts of Pliny's Historia naturalis (where Mela is cited as an important authority), the De situ orbis is the only formal treatise on the subject in Classical Latin.
