1796 VIRGIL Aeneid Georgics Eclogues Bucolics Desfontaines PROSE French 4v SET “Audaces fortuna iuvat- (Fortune favors the bold).” ― Virgil Virgil is regularly considered one of the greatest Roman poets. His epic poems, ‘ Eclogues ,’ ‘ Georgics ,’ and ‘ Aeneid’ are some of the most important works of western literature and describe mythology, medicine, astronomy, war and military, rhetoric, agriculture, and more! Virgil’s works have been popular throughout the centuries, both to readers and writers respectively. French translator Pierre Desfontaines created one the most unique and impressive versions of Virgil – a parallel French and Latin edition. While similar works exist, Desfontaines translations were not simply word-for-word but rather prose renditions of the Virgil Latin. These translations proved to be highly sought after and are still noteworthy works today. This 1796, four-volume edition of Desfontaines’s ‘ Virgil’ was published in Paris by Plassan.

Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten. Der Versand aus den USA nach Deutschland dauerte nur 1 Woche. Das Buch war sehr gut und sicher verpackt. Alles bestens, vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

Amazing, quick postage, great value, well packaged. Great condition, as described in listing. Wife who is learning Latin is extremely happy. Never thought we would have something so old, a full hundred years older than my next oldest book. 5 star great seller
