Very rare Plantin ed. of Cicero's Letters to Atticus by the French humanist lawyer in Limoges S. Bosius (1536-1581). The text is repr. from the 1580 Limoges ed. by Barbou. The commentary by Bosius announced on the title was only published separately in 1585. After 1585, according Voet, both editions must normally have been sold together, like our copy. Woodcut mark on titles. In italics.
Bound with: Bosius, Simeon - Animadversiones […] in Epistolas M.T. Ciceronis. Antwerp [i.e.Leiden], Chr. Plantin, 1585. [8]-208 pp. (same condition, water stains on last ff.). Also reprinted from the 1580 Limoges ed. Printed at Leiden, but a small number of copies, like ours, received a title-page with Plantin's Antwerp imprint (Voet: variant B).
