MATHEMATICS -- EUCLIDES -- PROCLUS DIADOCHUS. Commentaria in Librum Primum Elementorum Euclidis Megarensis. F. Barrocio (…) Interprete. Padua, 1559. (7), 272 (= 274), (22) pp. W. many illustr. 4°. Old limp brds. w. title in ink on spine. (Wear to upper spine end, several names in ink on first free endpaper: Dr Guaspero(?) Cucchi, 1759, J. Murdoch 1960, some yellowing in places, but generally clean & tight).
This seems to be a pirated copy of the work with the slightly different title: 'Procli Diadochi Lycii, philosophi platonici (…). In primum Euclidis Elementorum librum commentariorum (…) libri IIII. A Francisco Barocio, patritio veneto, summa opera, cura, ac diligentia cunctis mendis expurgati: (…)'. Patavi, (G. Perchacinus), 1560. The text of the present copy matches the edition of 1560, including the errors in page numbers. The difference consists in the simplified title page, without the vignette of Hermes & Minerva and without the portrait of Barozzi; and the lack of the colophon with the printer's mark and name. A curious copy of this important work. - For the 1560 ed.: Adams 2138.€ 500
