Very low starting price and no reserve. Offered here is a 1651 Elzevir edition of Gellius: Auli Gellii Noctes Atticae. Editio nova et prioribus omnibus docti hominis cura multo castigatior" by Aulus Gellius(c. 125– after 180 AD) His only known work. The Attic Nights(Latin: Noctes Atticae) takes its name from having been begun during the long nights of a winter which he spent in Attica. He afterwards continued it in Rome. It is compiled out of an Adversaria, or commonplace book, in which he had jotted down everything of unusual interest that he heard in conversation or read in books, and it comprises notes on grammar, geometry, philosophy, history and many other subjects. One story is the fable of Androcles, which is often included in compilations of Aesop's fables, but was not originally from that source. The work. Deliberately devoid ... moreof sequence or arrangement, is divided into twenty books. All these have come down to us except the eighth, of which nothing remains but the index.

MARIUS MICHEL Antique PARIS 1889 Print Bookbinder Copper Block Rare FINE BINDING
Here is a link to a pintrest board which contains a good amount of his work: pinterest.com/carlosquijanome/maestros-marius-michel/From Bookbinding and the Conservation of Books A Dictionary of Descriptive Terminology: Marius Michel: The name employed by Jean Michel(1821-1890) and his son. Henri François(1846-1925) who were distinguished Parisian bookbinders. The work of the elder Michel, while technically excellent, was largely traditional. Henri Francois, on the other hand, was more enterprising, and used curved stamps instead of small dies and fillets to work exotic flower and leaf forms, and also attempted to relate the decoration of the book cover to its contents. He was the first bookbinder to suggest that the mood of the book should be continued in the design and color of the binding. He may, in fact, be called the founder of the ... more20th century French school of binding. The designs of the two binders were often based on natural forms and the ornament is often expressed in color, outlined in blind, and very often without the use of gold.

Roman politician. Lawyer, writer and philosopher, orator and statesman of the Roman period. He was a central political figure during the turbulent reign of Julius Caesar, and politics was always the most important thing in his life, but he still managed to produce six influential books on rhetoric and eight on philosophy(much of it during enforced periods of exile) He is generally perceived to be one of the most versatile minds of ancient Rome, and is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists.
