Commentarii linguae Graecae, Gulielmo Budaeo, consiliario Regio, supplicúmque libelloru[m] in Regia magistro, auctore.

Ab eodem accuratè recogniti, atque amplius tertia parte aucti. Guillaime Bude; Estienne, Paris, 1548. First Robert Estienne edition of this important work by the most influential of the French humanist scholars of the early 16th century. The book was instrumental in spreading the study of Greek throughout France. The first edition was originally published in 1529, but this definitive edition is enlarged by more than one-third from notes left by Guillaume Budé, one of the greatest Renaissance contributors to the study of Greek antiquity. Indeed, Budé’s “Commentarii” formed the basis for the study of the Greek language in France and served as the basis of Henri Estienne’s “Thesaurus Graecae linguae” (Schreiber). Provenance: Bookplate of Panshanger, the estate of the Earls of Cowper. Emily Lamb married the 4th Earl of Cowper in 1805. Her bother was William Lamb, whose signature and the date October 1807 appear on Title Page. William Lamb later became the 2nd Viscount Melbourne, favorite Prime Minister of Queen Victoria.
