Re: Text in Copperplate - or woodcut



Since we're compiling a list now, there was also an edition of Virgil 
pulbished in Brussels in 1757-65 and again ca. 1790, in five volumes.  I
quote from a colleague's catalogue: "This entirely engraved edition of
Virgil's works was dedicated to Catherine II, Empress of Russia, who bought
so many copies that the first edition (Hagae-Comitum, 1757-65) is rare
outside Russia.  Reprinted in this edition of 80 copies around 1790."

If anyone wants to know who had this, ask me offline.
