PLUTARCH] Parallela en biois Ellinon te kai Romaion [title in Greek]. Quae vocantur parallela: hoc est, vitae illustrium virorum graeci nominis ac latini, prout quaeque alteri convenire videbatur, accuratius quam antehac unquam digestae . Basle: Johann Bebel, 1533. Third edition of the Parallela in Greek. Early (but not original) cream vellum, spine neatly and elegantly hand-lettered, all edges sprinkled red. 13 x 7 3/4 inches (33 x 20 cm); [4], 370 ff., printed in a very elegant Greek type. Some soiling to binding, old name to the head of the title, some browning to the two prefatory leaves, overall a very fresh copy. Adams II, P1611; Hoffmann III, p. 342. C Property of a New York Lady
