Item Details

Description

POMPONII MELAE
De Situ Orbis Libri III.
Ed. O.J. Nunnesius, J. Perizonius and A. Gronovius.
Leyden, S. and J. Luchtmans, 1782
3 parts in 1 volume
(20),1081,(50)p.
Engraved frontispiece, folding map and text illustrations.
Very good condition. Lacks ties. Minor foxing.
Size 5 1/4 by 8 3/4"
Original schoolprize vellum binding with gilt coat of arms of AMSTERDAM within rectangular rolled border w. coat of arms corner pieces on both covers, gilt spine w. coat of arms in compartments
Text in Latin

Pomponius Mela, who wrote around AD 43, was the earliest Roman geographer.
He was born in Tingentera (now Algeciras) and died c. AD 45.
His short work (De situ orbis libri III.) remained in use nearly to the year 1500
It occupies less than one hundred pages of ordinary print, and is described by the Encyclopædia Britannica (1911) as "dry in style and deficient in method, but of pure Latinity, and occasionally relieved by pleasing word-pictures."
Except for the geographical parts of Pliny's Historia naturalis (where Mela is cited as an important authority), the De situ orbis is the only formal treatise on the subject in Classical Latin.
