VIBIUS SEQUESTER. De fluminibus, fontibus, lacubus, nemoribus, paludibus, montibus, gentibus ; quorum apud poëtas mentio fit. Roterodami [Rotterdam]: Arnold Willis, 1711. - Small in-8, 159 x 96 : (30 ff.), 295 pp. Long-grained dark blue morocco, gilt fillets and roulette framing the boards, small gilt fleuron at the corners, richly decorated spine with false nerves, gilt roulette framing the inside, beige silk lining with gilt roulette framing, beige silk endpapers, followed by two laid paper endpapers and one in parchment, gilt edges (early 19th century binding). Esteemed and rare edition of this work by the 4th or 5th century Latin compiler Vibius Sequester, published and annotated by the philologist Franciscus Hesselius (1680-1746). It is a list of geographical names taken from the works of Latin poets, including Virgil, Ovid, Lucan and Horace. The names are divided into seven categories: Flumina (rivers) - Fontes (springs) - Lacus (lakes) - Nemora (forests) - Paludes (swamps) - Montes (mountains) - Gentes (peoples). A very fine copy in early 19th-century morocco in the taste of Bozérian or Lefebvre. This binding was made for the bookseller and bibliophile Antoine-Augustin Renouard (1765-1853), one of whose hallmarks was its two parchment endpapers. It was later owned by the English bibliophile Charles Butler (1821-1910) of Warren Wood, Hattfield. Slight wear to covers and corners. Old annotations on pages 14 and 15. Provenance: Antoine-Augustin Renouard (Catalogue de la bibliothèque d'un amateur, 1819, IV, p. 10). - Charles Butler, with bookplate.
