PIRATED ELZEVIR IN AN OXFORD BINDING GELLIUS, Aulus [and Johann Friedrich GRONOVIUS (editor)].

Noctes atticae: editio nova et prioribus omnibus docti hominis cura multo castigtior.

Jansson’s piracy of Gronovius’s version, published the same year as the first edition. A commonplace book compiled by Aulus Gellius in the second century, the Attic Nights received several editions, of which the most highly regarded is that of Johann Friedrich Gronovius (1611–1671), the then Professor of Greek at Leiden.
