Froben, Basileae [Bâle] 1547, Folio (24,5x33,8cm), 12 pp. n. ch., 571 pp., 1 f.v., 24 pp. n. ch., relié. - Première édition en grec chez Froben des comédies d'Aristophane, accompagnée de commentaires, établie par le savant bohème Sigismundus Gelenius, basée sur l'édition aldine princeps. Elle inclut même la préface originale de Marcus Musurus, Gelenius ayant été élève de ce dernier. Reliure en plein velin souple à recouvrement, dos à quatre nerfs avec titre à la plume en tête, reliure de l'époque. Dos et plats brunis et salis, attaches manquantes. Ex-libris manuscrit caviardé en pied de la page de titre. Rousseurs éparses, nombreuses annotations d'époque à la plume et au crayon. Ouvrage orné d'initiales et bandeaux gravés sur bois. Belle marque d'imprimeur de Froben au caducée, réalisée par le célèbre Hans Holbein au verso du colophon. L'édition contient les onze comédies d'Aristophane : Ploutos, Les Nuées, Les Grenouilles, Les Cavaliers, Les Acharniens, Les Guêpes, Les Oiseaux, La Paix, L'Assemblée des femmes, Les Thesmophories, et Lysistrata. L'ouvrage est publié sur les presses de Johann Froben par ses successeurs. Froben fut l'une des grandes figures de l'imprimerie à Bâle dans la première moitié du XVIe siècle, et principal imprimeur d'Érasme. Il était par ailleurs connu pour la beauté de ses caractères grecs dont cet ouvrage est un parfait exemple, utilisant deux polices différentes, pour le texte d'Aristophane, et pour les scholia également en grec qui l'entourent. Ex-libris Michel Revon encollé sur le premier feuillet vierge. Agréable exemplaire à grandes marges. USTC 612856 ; VD16 A-3268 ; Ebert, 1086. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] [ARISTOPHANES PLAYS], (245x338mm), [12], 571, [1 blank], [24] p. Froben's first Greek edition of Aristophanes' plays, with extensive comment, edited by the Bohemian scholar Sigismundus Gelenius, based on the Aldine princeps edition. It even includes the original preface by Marcus Musurus, as Gelenius had been a pupil of Mursus. Soft vellum binding, manuscript spine title, contemporary binding. Spine and boards browned and soiled. Ownership inscription cut out at foot of title page. Scattered foxing, numerous contemporary annotations in pen and pencil. Decorated with woodcut initials and headpieces. Froben's fine printer's device, designed by the famous Hans Holbein on the verso of the colophon. The edition contains Aristophanes' eleven surviving comedies: Wealth, The Clouds, The Frogs, The Knights, The Acharnians, The Wasps, The Birds, Peace, The Assemblywomen, Thesmophoriazusae and Lysistrata. The work was published on Johann Froben's press by his successors. Froben was one of the leading figures in Basel printing in the first half of the 16th century, and Erasmus' main printer. He was also known for the beauty of his Greek typefaces, of which this work is a perfect example, using two different fonts, for the scholia and the Aristophanes text within. Michel Revon bookplate pasted on the first fly leaf. Pleasant copy with wide margins. USTC 612856; VD16 A-3268; Ebert, 1086.
