Satyrae.

Juvenal & Persius.

Satyrae.

Description: cancel leaves E2, K4, V4, Z3, and gatherings Ee-Gg printed on poorer quality paper and dampmarked in upper margin and lower forecorner, just a little minor spotting elsewhere, pp. 240, 4to; nineteenth-century half black calf, marbled boards, edges, and endpapers, spine with raised bands direct lettered gilt, a little wear, but good.

Publication Details: Birmingham: Typis Johannis Baskerville, 1761

Notes: The classical quarto with which Baskerville followed his Virgil, a full decade in advance of the series he produced in 1772-3. Gaskell notes that the poorer paper of the cancellantia and final gatherings is 'now stained badly in purplish patches', but the present copy shows more typical brown foxing on those leaves, which have evidence of damp which must predate their insertion into the volume (it does not affect the other leaves).
