Description: <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;">8vo. pp. 52, [4]. Signatures: a-c⁸ d⁴; d4 (blank). There are two copies in this collection. The present is in contemporary vellum with manuscript spine title: 'Plutarchi Moralia III' and evidence of clasps. It is bound with the ‘Moralium opusculorum tomus tertius’ and eight more individual Moralia texts printed separately by Gryphius or Jean de Tournes in 1554-1557, including five texts edited by Arnoul Le Ferron of Bordeaux (1515-1563). Among the latter is the unique forgery ‘Pro nobilitate,’ believed today to be actually written by Arnoul Ferron, as well as two genuinely Plutarchean works, the ‘Eroticus’ or ‘Amatorius’ (1557, with additional commentary by Étienne de la Boétie) and ‘De inscriptione’ (also 1557).
