GALLEUS, Servatius
Dissertationes de Sibyllis, earumque oraculis cum figuris aeneis
Amstelodami
Henricus & Vidua Th. Boom
1688
Gallaeus or Galle (1627-1709), Dutch clergyman and philologist, brought together everything relevant to these famous pronouncements; it was his principal work. The sibyls were the prophetesses of Greco-Roman antiquity, whose utterances were in Greek hexameter verses, the authenticity of which was said to be assured by the presence of acrostics within. Ref. Hoffmann III, 398-99; Caillet III, 10165; Thorndike VIII, 476; Landwehr, R. de H., 72.
4to, (16), 658, (48) pp., engraved title-page & 14 engr. plates by R. de Hooghe, & 3 text-ills. Lacking the author's portrait. Some foxing in the text, a few water stains at the end. Old dark brown calf binding, some rest. on spine
