LOT 3661
ENNIUS, Quintus. Poetae Vetustissimi Fragmenta Quae Supersunt ab Hieron. Amsterdam: Henrik Wetstein, 1707. 4to (198 x 142mm.) Title in red and black, engraved frontispiece of the poet meeting Virgil, index to rear. (Toning.) Contemporary vellum, manuscript lettering to spine (minor marks, browning). Note: an experimenter with literary forms, this volume contains Ennius' 'Annales', his year-by-year history of the Roman Republic in verse. Considered the 'father' of Latin poetry because he was the first to use Latin as a literary language in competition with the Greek language. Provenance: George Cornewall Lewis (bookplate verso initial blank).
