In-folio, red morocco decorated in the Du Seuil style with fleur-de-lys, 6-rib fleur-de-lys spine, red morocco lining decorated with the same Du Seuil-style decoration, gilt edges ( 17th-century binding).

The first complete edition of Jacques Amyot's translation Jacques Amyot of books XI to XVII of Diodorus's Histories by Diodorus to that of the first three books translated by Macault, with annotations by Louis Le Roy. A Greek historian and contemporary of Caesar, Diodorus Siculus, after long stays in Europe and Asia, settled in Rome, where he worked for over thirty years on a Historical Library, consisting of forty books and extending from the earliest times to 60 BC. All that remains today are books I to V and XI to XXII and fragments of the others. The first three cover the history of Egypt, Assyria and neighboring countries. Books IV and V cover the heroic period of Greece and research on the islands. Finally, books XI to XVII deal with the history of Greece. This Historical Library covers a period of over a thousand years, and is based on all the datable events that Diodorus Sicilus could find in ancient sources. The edition is adorned with beautiful initials with acanthus leaves, figures and faces. A fine copy in red morocco with 17th-century lining. Stains and a small epidermis to binding. Old handwritten annotations in the margins of a few leaves, browning to a few leaves at the end of the volume.
