Notes

An Elzevir-imitating pocket edition of the satirists Juvenal and Persius, published by Jodocus Hondius II (or Joost de Hondt Jr), son of an important Flemish mapmaker. This copy was given by the British official Ronald Storrs (1881-1955), known for his erudition and refined taste, to the writer Maurice Baring (1874-1945).
