SOPHOCLE. Stragœdiæ septem. Unà cum omnibus Græcis scholiis, & cum Latinis Ioach. Camerarij. Geneva] : Henri Estienne, 1568. - 2 parts in one volume in-4, 256 x 160 : (4 ff.), 451 pp. mis-calibrated 461, 242 pp, (1 f. blank). Marbled calf, double cold fillet on the edge of the boards, spine ribbed and decorated, red edges (18th century binding). Beautiful edition given by Henri Estienne of the tragedies of Sophocles, including the plays of the author in Greek accompanied by the scholia in the same language of the Byzantine writer Demetrios Triklionios (128.?-134.?). They are followed in a second part, with its own pagination, by the Latin commentaries of the humanist, theologian and philologist Joachim Camerarius (1500-1574), which also include the Latin translation of two tragedies, Ajax and Electra. A copy with four ancient manuscript sources on the title. First, an ex-dono in Latin: "Ex dono Noblissimi viri domini Sappellon". Below this ex-dono is this ex-libris: "N. d'Alfeston me possidet". Finally, we find two signatures "D'Albret", one, the oldest, following the ex-dono, the other in the lower margin accompanied by the date 1613. We have not found anything conclusive on Sappellon . There is an old family of the name of Alfeston, also spelled Alpheston, stemming from Elphinston of Scotland, established in Châlons since the second half of the XVth century. The "D'Albret" signatures could belong to the Albret-Miossens family. The oldest, following the ex-dono, could be that of Henri I d'Albret, son of Jean d'Albret and Suzanne de Bourbon Busset, while the second, dated 1613, could be that of his son Henri II d'Albret who married in 1611 with Anne de Pardaillan de Gondrin. This is only a hypothesis and remains to be confirmed. Binding skilfully restored. Light foxing throughout the volume, restorations in the lower margin of the first 45 leaves, some wormholes without affecting the text. Annotations from different periods, and some passages formerly underlined in red.
