BUDÉ, Guillaume Lucubrationes varie, cum ad studiorum rectam institutionem ac philologiam, tum ad pietatem spectantes: quibus adiunximus epistolarum eiusdem Latinarum ac Graecarum libros VI. Non omissis etiam iis quae ex Graecis in Latinam linguam convertit [...]. Index [...] additus est. Basel N. Episcopius, the Younger (Sept.) 1557 Folio: [44]-542-[1 bl.-1] pp. (toned, occ. soiling, rare ms. annot.). 18th-c. marbled calf, gilt. orn. spine with raised bands and a label, red edges (corners sl. rubbed, head and tail sl. loosening, head repaired). Nice inside copy. Very rare collection of Budé's works and Budé's edition of classical authors, ed. by Celio Secondo Curione (1503-1569).

Budé's "Epistolarum Latinarum lib. V" and "Epistolarum Graecarum lib. I", and some works by Aristotle, Philo of Alexandria, Plutarch, and Basil of Caesarea. Ill. with elegant and fine woodcut initials. Large printer's mark on title and on last f. This edition is still in use for studies on Budé and on Northern humanism. Ref.
