Comprises en deux tomes, & enrichies en ceste edition de prefaces generales, de sommaires au commencement d'un chancun de traitez, & d'annotations en marge, qui monstrent l'artifice & la suite des discours de l'auteur. 2 vols. (Geneva), Chuppin, 1584. 14 leaves, 536 pages, 2 leaves, pages 537-1010 (recte 1110), 1 blank leaf, 37 leaves, 189 pages (De la Fortune ou vertu d'Alexandre), 1 leaf; 4 leaves, 526 pages, 1 blank leaf, pages 527-1109, 12 leaves. Contemporary leather bindings with gilt-stamped coats of arms (spine, corners, and endpapers renewed). Revised compared to the first edition of this translation from 1572, also verifiable with the year 1583. Jacques Amyot (1513-1593) was Bishop of Auxerre from 1570 and distinguished himself with various freely adapted but very popular translations of ancient authors.] The present edition was published by the printer-publisher Antoine Chuppin, who is documented in Geneva from 1576 onwards (cf. Renouard: Imprimeurs parisiens, page 74). Both titles bear the ownership mark J. Chifflet. Volume 2 has slight damp staining on the last 50 pages in the white outer margin.
