Anacreon. Anakreontos Teiou mel? [graece] Anacreontis Teii odae luce et latinitate nunc primum donatae, text in Greek and Latin, woodcut printer's device to title, printer's name scored through with ink twice on title, some browning, modern vellum-backed boards, [Adams A1001; Renouard 115; Schreiber 139], small 4to, Paris, Henri Estienne and Guillaume Morel, 1554.

⁂ Editio princeps. The first book published by Henri Estienne the younger, and using all three sizes of the "grecs du roi" type. The work is probably actually by imitators of Anacreon and consists of the Greek text followed by Latin translation. "The Anacreontea became the most influential 'ancient' Greek poetic text during the Renaissance, and Estienne's edito princeps virtually caused a poetic revolution, not only in France, but also in Italy and Germany..." (Schreiber p.129). It also includes early printing of Sappho's poetry.
