L. Annaei Flori Epitome rervm Romanarvm cum notis integris Cl. Salmasii, & selectis variorum. Accedunt Jo. Georgii Graevii annotationes longe auctiores & correctiores; nec non nvmismata et antiqva monvmenta, quibus illustratur hic scriptor. Cum variantibus lectionibus & indice. In fine additus est L. Ampelius ex bibliotheca Cl. Salmasii.

With an additional engraved allegorical title-page reading 'L. Annaei Flori Res Romanae Cum Notis Joan. Georg. Graevii, Et Variorum' signed 'R. de Hooghe jnv: et fec:', and engraved title-vignette with motto 'Nec Caret Arte' on the letterpress title-page. There are additionally thirty leaves of plates each bearing the impression of between one and five coppers with letterpress captions, and a folded leaf of letterpress printed in red and black. Pages 561--672, [4] are inserted between signatures Mm8 and Nn8, with signatures *Nn--*Tt8 *Vv2 and contain 'Joannis Georgii Grævii Animadversiones'; the catchword of p. 560 (first sequence, sig. Mm8) has been altered in MS. from Ex' to Joan. The final leaf of the inserted sequence (Vv2) is the divisional half-title to 'Excerptiones Chronologicae, Ad L. A.
