This book, first published in London in 1696, was reprinted frequently throughout the eighteenth century. It was widely admired among scholars and a more popular audience.

This copy was presented to Marsh’s Library in March 1943 by the National Library of Ireland to replace a copy of the same edition which was first listed as missing in 1766.

A disproportionate number of books in English about the classical world and its authors were stolen. Books on the same topics in Latin and Greek were far less likely to be removed from the premises.
