POLYBIUS (c.200-c.118 B.C.). Historiarum libri priores quinque , in Greek and Latin. Basel: Johann Herwagen, 1549. An attractive 16th-century edition in contemporary vellum. Two parts in one volume, folio (322 x 203mm). With the final blank in part 1. Historiated woodcut initials, woodcut device on the title (scattered spotting in the title, light dampstain in the index, occasional light marginalia in an early hand). Contemporary limp vellum, flat spine gilt in compartments divided by double rules and centred with a fleuron, the title in manuscript in the top compartment, the sides centred with a laurel wreath in gilt and with a gilt double-fillet border, gilt edges (light staining and light soiling). This Greek and Latin edition reproduces the Latin translation from the Greek by the humanist Nicolaus Perottus (1429-1480; books I-V) and the Reformed theologian Wolfgang Musculus (1497-1563; epitome). J.S. Bach quotes a hymn by Musculus in his cantata 'Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt' (1731). Adams P-1803; VD16 P-4083.
