LARGE-PAPER COPY of this 'excellent edition', regarded as dated by Brunet but patriotically supported by Lowndes. Pindar's Epinician Odes were written in honour of the victors at the four great panhellenic Games, and are accordingly grouped as Olympian, Pythian, Nemeana and Isthmian. With a particularly fine, large vignette of the Sheldonian. Brunet IV, 659; Lowndes V, 1868; Wing P-2245.
