About This Item
Oxford: E Theatro Sheldoniano (Jacobi Fletcher), 1741 New edition, with added material, of Bolton Simpson's edition of Xenophon's memories of Socrates. HB. Full leather, contemporary or early, with gilt title on label and 5 raised bands to spine, gilt decorations to edges of boards. Red speckled page edges. Preface and 345pp, plus index. With frontispiece engraving of a bust of Socrates by M. Burg, title page in red and black, and engraved tailpieces at end of the preface and the main pages. The text is entirely in Greek and Latin. A Very Good copy. The pages are very clean and unfoxed or browned, except for some light browning to endpapers, which have a few old ink marks, original owner's name from 1745, and a private library shelf mark label inside the front cover (partly erased); small loss to corner of front free endpaper. The covers are clean and the binding firm but the boards are rather worn and scuffed with fraying to top spine and small abrasion over title page.
