Description
HOBBES, Thomas (1588-1679). Leviathan, sive De materia, forma, et potestate civitatis ecclesiasticae et civilis. Amsterdam: J. Blaeu, 1670.  

4to (201 x 147 mm). Woodcut device on title-page, woodcut initials. (Marginal wormtrack to first ca 40 leaves.) Contemporary mottled calf, edges sprinkled brown and red (rebacked, endpapers renewed, a few other small repairs).

FIRST SEPARATE EDITION IN LATIN. Hobbes prepared the translation himself, editing the text and including three apologetic dialogues in place of the original "Review and Conclusion." His translation first appeared in Opera philosophica quae Latine scripsit omnia, published by Blaeu in 1668. "It is the Latin version in which Hobbes really expresses his opinions...in his Latin version he was less concerned with personalities" (MacDonald & Hargreaves 45).
