First edition. Small quarto. Collation: *4, A-T4 (= 80 leaves; blank T4) [8], 149, [3, blank]pp. Woodcut head- and tailpieces, lettrines, printed marginalia, frequent quotations in Greek, along with an occasional word in Hebrew; complete with the final blank leaf. Recent blue cloth, gilt title at spine. Margins tight; some light soiling at final leaves. A very good copy with crisp text. First edition of this popular introduction to ancient Greek history by Francis Rous (1615-1643), the son of a Puritan writer and politician, also named Francis. With the "addition of their customs in marriages, burialls, feastings, divinations, &c." Zachary Bogan expanded the primer to seven books in the third edition of 1649; a ninth edition appeared as late as 1685. Madan notes that along with Godwin's Roman Antiquities and Moses and Aaron, the Archaeologiae Atticae comprised an introductory trilogy for students of ancient history; indeed, the latter was eventually incorporated along with Godwin's works on Rome and ancient Israel into a collective edition (London: A. Churchill, 1686). References: ESTC S116252. Madan 1:202. Cf. Wing R2032 (ed. 1645). Full title and imprint: Archaeologiae Atticae libri tres. Three books of the Attick antiquities. Containing the description of the citties glory, government, division of the people, and townes with in Athenian territories, their religion, superstition, sacrifices, account of their yeare, as also a full relation of their iudicatories. Oxford: printed by Leonakd [sic] Lichfield, for Edward Forrest. M.DC.XXXVII.
