CLAUDIANUS, Claudius

Opera. Ed: Thaddaeus Ugoletus
Venetiis
Johannes Tacuinus, de Tridino
1495, 6 June
€1.600 - €2.400

4to, [128] ff, 40 lines, no headline, Latin text in Roman type, woodcut initials, with old marginal annotations, marginal damp staining in some lvs. Woodcut printer's mark on last page (cross above a circle, with initials Z.T.).

Poet at the court of Emperor Honorius, much of Claudianus' poetry celebrates Honorius, his deeds, ministers and marriage. Claudianus is renowned for his Rape of Proserpine, a retelling of the mythological story of the abduction of Proserpine by Pluto. It seems he was a convinced pagan. Complete. Scarce at auction.
