PASSERAT (Jean). Commentarii in C. Val. Catullum, Albium Tibullum, & Sex. Aur. Propertium. Cum tribus accuratissimis rerum, verborum, auctorum & emendationum indicibus. Paris, [Claude Morel], 1608. Fort vol. in-folio of [132] ff. n. ch. (heraldic plate as frontispiece, title, dedication to Sully, text of the three Latin poets, index verborum Propertii), 712 pp. and [33] ff. text on two columns. Fawn morocco, ornate ribbed spine, title-piece, large framed plate on covers, arms in center, gilt edges (period binding). Discrete restorations, angular wetness at the beginning of the book. Unique posthumous edition of this great commentary by Trojan humanist Jean Passerat (1534-1602), preceded by the text of the three Latin poets (Brunet I, 1679). Spectacular prize copy by Michel V Bégon (1638-1710), who was a great intendant (first to the Windward Islands, then to Rochefort and finally to La Rochelle), and also a great collector (at his death, his library numbered nearly 7,000 volumes), with ex-libris vignette pasted on the first endpapers. With the arms of Baron de CERVON DES ARCIS. The work was presented to him on August 27, 1657 as second prize for Latin poetry in the rhetoric class at the Collège de la Flèche, thanks to a foundation by Baron de Cervon des Arcis. The large heraldic plate on the frontispiece also belongs to this family (Unknown to O.H.R.).
