⁂ Scarce first 'pocket edition' of Lambin's great Lucretius. His edition 'stimulated a demand for a pocket edition giving the scholar's text without the notes. This demand having come from 'men who were not only of high rank and famous but also learned...Lambin made haste to satisfy it and carefully reconsidered the text in the light of suggestions he had received from other scholars. The results were printed in 1565 and make the most attractive pocket edition of Lucretius that has ever appeared' (Gordon).
