8-vo (11,5 x 17,2 cm). Lvs (40), pp. 578. Contemp. yellowish-white pigskin, front- and backcover with decorative blind-tooling, 4 copper clamps, spine with 4 raised bands. Title page and last page with Gryphius’ identical printer’s marks. Collation (compl.) à – è8 a – M8 N10.

This is the first volume of a collection of 3 with the well-known works by Flavius Josephus, published by Gryphius of Lyon. This volume contains the first 10 books of the Jewish Antiquities and is complete in itself. Volume 2 of this collection contains the next books of the Jewish Antiquities and the 3d volume is a miscellany of different works (a.o. book 7 of the Jewish War and 2 books of In Appionem). The 3 volumes are hardly ever found together, and certainly not when it concerns special bindings like this one ( f.e. The Leiden University has volume 3 of this collection, but not the vols 1 & 2; Adams J 358-9 mentions only the 2nd and 3d volume of this collection; Schweiger (I, 178) mentions only Gryphius' 1546-edition). The Latin translation from the Greek is by Ruffino Aquileiensis ( or Tyrannius Rufinus, ca 345 - 410) a monk and historian, best known as translator of Greek texts into Latin, especially the works of Origen. The printing office of Sebastianus Gryphius I (c. 1492 – 1556) was one of the greatest –humanist - offices of Lyon. Gryphius came to Lyon around 1520 and in the early 1520s published mainly works on law and administration. Later he turned to the classical Greek authors. Around 1536 he founded his Atelier du Griffon, wit his famous Griffin printer’s mark. With an introduction by Gryphius and an extensive alphabetical index of 38 leaves ( 2 columns). This work has 2 splendid printer’s marks (Lvs à1 and N10). At the beginning of each chapter a 6-line decorated initial (first chapter a 10-line initial). The decorative blind-tooled binding probably by J. Schedel; front cover with date 1572. and the initials of I(ohannnes) H. G. , whose ex-libris on frontal paste-down, but there also a 2nd ex-libris from 1586. This work not in the Princeton Gryphius collection. New flyleaves. Throughout the work waterstains, usually marginal and outside of text.A rare Flavius Josephus in a 16th-century attractive binding.
