German philologist Friedrich Lindenbrog's edition of Terence, which Dibdin calls 'a very scarce and valuable work'. Bound at the rear are Faerno's notes on Terence's fables, originally published in 1565 but still the standard reference into the 18th century. Library Hub records copies at BL, Cambridge, Aberdeen, Eton and Chetham's.
This copy has manuscript notes to its endpapers with some bibliographical reference and 18th-century sale records.
