Cloth wrps. Upper part wrps damaged. Signature and date on free endpaper. 'The editors' aim is 'to provide would-be readers with a text, and with first-aid in reading it'; but they do not claim to provide more than first-aid (preface, p.XI). No sensible reader will complain of this. (…) Much of the value of this excellent book must lie in its contribution to the identification of the kinds of beasts and plants mentioned by Nicander. (…) Much valuable material has been collected by the editors and the many experts who have helped them.' (HUGH LLOYD JONES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1954, pp.231-233). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. (Antiquarian) (approx. delivery time: undeliverable)
