FESTI (FESTUS), SEX. POMPEI AND FLACCI (FLACCUS) MAR. VERRII: 'DE VERBORUM SIGNIFICATIONE'

books 1-20, illustrated by Andreas Dacerius, published by Huguetanorum, Amsterdam 1699, all contained in tooled vellum binding with ink half title, with Bridehead bookplate and retaining decorative frontispiece.

Note: Marcus Verrius Flaccus (circa 55BC - circa 20AD), the teacher of Emperor Augustus' grandsons, completed an encyclopaedic dictionary ('On The Meaning Of Words'), the contents of which are known today only from a lengthy summary written about 150 years later by Sextus Pompeius Festus.
