About This Item
Ancient world 1536 Couat, Auguste, 1846-1898. Alexandrian poetry under the first three Ptolemies, 324-222 B.C. With a supplementary chapter by Émile Cahen, translated by James Loeb.London: William Heinemann, ltd.; New York, G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1931, xx, 638 pages, bib, index. This is an ex-library copy from the library of a major museum. It is not a reprint but the first edition. Volume has the usual library markings but I wonder how often it was consulted as it is in such nice shape. The blue linen cloth binding with the gilt lettering on the spine is very attractive, printed in Great Britain. There is a handwritten note in pencil noting that the book was given to the museum in 1931by James Lamb, 1867-1933. With detractions noted, book is in good to very good, tight condition. $20.00
