Martialis, born in Spain (c. 38/40-c. 100/103), lived most of his life in Rome under some of
the most notorious Roman Emperors. He is known as one of the greatest epigrammatists
whose work still remains very enjoyable to read and never appears dated. This edition is
given by the French humanist Jean Boulier. Copy entirely ruled ; printer's mark on title-page.

Edited by the Italian humanist Giovanni Maria Cattaneo (+ 1529 ?), the first nine books
cover a serie of Pliny's personal letters adressed to his family, friends and associates,
the tenth contains exclusively missives directed to or from the Emperor Trajan and was,
contrary to the others, never intentend for publication by Pliny himself. This collection is
rightly considered to be one of the most valuable and truthful testimonies of the Roman
society in those days. The second part of the volum contains the “Liber de viris, in re
militari et administranda republica” edited by the Alsacian humanist Conrad Lycosthenes
(1518-1561). Work in neat typography with small decorated initial letters, some dotted, and
Froben's marks on title-page and at the reverse of last page.

▲ Provenance : supra libros of the family Laurin. Identified as from Marc Laurin (1530-
181) but stamped later as the binding is posterior, perhaps attribuable to Henri Florent
Laurin (1618-1662) whose portrait is stuck on the upper pastedown ; Parmentier 1792,
“titulo donationis” (handwritten mention).
