4to, [10]-1003-[1 bl.] pp. (toned), large engraved title vignette. One corner of title page cut. Stamp in lower corner of title page. Slightly age-toned, but a good copy. Contemporary vellum binding, soiled, morocco title piece on spine (front joint splitting at head, head and tail def., front flyleaf loosening)

Scholarly ed. by the Leiden Rector C. Schrevelius (1606-1664) of the ""Alphabetical Collection of All Words"" of the Greek grammarian Hesychius of Alexandria (5th-6th c.), including more than 50.000 entries. It is the richest lexicon of unusual and obscure Greek words that has survived, probably by absorbing the works of earlier lexicographers. The Greek text is repr. from the 1514 Aldine edition.
