Extremely rare first edition of the first Greek grammar composed in the Netherlands, the work of Adrien Amerot (Soissons, c. 1490 - Louvain, 1560), professor at the University of Louvain. Only 6 copies are located on the USTC (no. 400428). The quality of the printing in Greek and Roman characters was underlined by Brunet who considered this book rare (Brunet I, 260).
ERRATUM:
Careful old marginal annotations, including a handwritten mention in Greek in a phylactery at v° of the last leaf.
