8° Ledereinband, Goldschnitt. Erste Ausgabe der von Pieter Burmann dem Älteren herausgegebenen und ausführlich kommentierten Römischen Geschichte des Velleius Paterculus. Hier in einem reich dekoriertem Lederband der Zeit. Der Einband am Rücken teils verfärbt, die letzten zehn Blätter des Inhalts im Bund wasserrandig. First edition of scholar Burmann s annotated edition of this contemporary Roman history, with engraved vignette title page, in beautiful contemporary vellum-gilt binding. "A compendium of Roman history, hastily compiled by an army officer as a memorial volume to commemorate the elevation to the consulship for the year A.D. 30 of his friend and fellow-Campanian, Marcus Vinicius, could hardly be expected to rise to the level either of great history or great literature. And yet, taken for what it is, a rapid sketch of some ten centuries of history, it is, in spite of its many defects the most successful and most readable of all the abridgements of Roman history which have come down to us. Abridgements are usually little more than skeletons; but Velleius has succeeded, in spite of the brief compass of his work, in clothing the bare bones with real flesh, and in endowing his compendium with more than a mere shadow of vitality, thanks to his own enthusiastic interest in the human side of the great characters of history" (Frederick W. Shipley, introduction to the 1924 Loeb Classical Library edition). "It is believed that [Vellius, who served under the Emperor Tiberius] was executed because of his connection with Sejanus. The history is in two books, of which a portion is lost His method is to seize upon the striking points of his subject and to dwell upon them, leaving less important events in abeyance. His treatment is therefore rather that of an annalist than an historian His facts are in the main trustworthy, but his fulsome praise of Tiberius detracts from the value of the narrative of his own times Only one manuscript [of the History] survived to modern times, and was lost in the 17th century" (Peck, 1183).
