MARTIALIS, Marcus Valerius.

Ex Otio Negotium. Or, Martiall His Epigrams Translated by R. Fletcher.

Reprinted from the 1656 edition of this translation, this was printed and published by Nichols, with Smithers providing the “Prefatory Note” and, probably, the copy text from his growing stock of “curiosa”. Nelson, LS, 1893.4. Foxing to prelims and the slightest hint of rubbing to extremities of spine, otherwise very good. Gilt-stamped binding design is bright and clean.

OCLC records are unclear owing to pollution from digital surrogates, but this is certainly as rare in commerce as its limitation would suggest.
