Leipzig, 1758. 8vo. Two very nice uniform contemporary full calf bindings with richly gilt spines. A few traces of wear, but overall very nice. Internally brownspotted throughout, due to the quality of the paper. Owner's inscription dated 1908 to front free end-papers. Old owner's name cut uot at corner of front free end-papers. Old book plate of "Göteborgs Stads Bibliotek" (with a later small stamp in the middle) to inside of front boards. Engraved frontispiece to volume one. General title-page (in volume one, before the preface) with engraved vignette. Woodcut vignette to all the other three title-pages. Woodcut beginning- and end-vignettes. XXXVIII, (2), 610 pp.; (4) pp + pp. (612) - 1004; 198 ff. (Index).

The uncommon first printing of the renowned Fischer-edition, esteemed for its seroiusness and correctness and for the 38 pages long preface by Ernesti as well as the very elaborated index of almost 400 pages.

"This is a good edition, although indifferently printed. It is formed on the basis of N. Heinsius's, and contains the whole of his notes, with some additional ones from Burman. The preface is by the famous Ernesti: there is added a copius "Index Verborum". (Dibdin II:269).
