Figure 205
Pages of Cicero: Elzevir, Leyden
From a copy in Harvard College Library (facsimiles), (scans)
1642
In 1642, the Elzevirs printed the Opera of Cicero in ten volumes, 32mo, and this, as Elzevirs go, is an attractive edition. The engraved title-page is handsome, the portrait of Cicero not bad, the prefatory matter well arranged, and the rest of the work made up of the solid pages characteristic of the house.
