‎ Le commentaire de Macrobe sur le "Songe de Scipion", de Cicéron a été très populaire durant le Moyen-Age. On y trouve la célèbre carte du monde (p. 144) différente de celle de Ptolémé. Elle montre un grand continent dans l'hémisphére sud séparé des terres habitées du nord par un océan. Cet ouvrage contient aussi de nombreux éléments qui intéréssent l'histoire des sciences (physique, astronomie, mathématiques) . Illustré par 8 gravures sur bois dans le texte. Quelques tâches sombres sur la reliure, petit accroc en marge de quelques feuillets mais bel exemplaire dans une très élégante reliure de l'époque. Baudrier VIII, 285. /// In-8 de 567, (73) pp. Veau brun, dos à nerfs orné, fleuron au centre des plats avec encadrements à froid et petits fers dorés aux angles.

Shirley, The mapping of the world 13.n This book also contains many elements of interest to the history of science (physics, astronomy, mathematics). Illustrated with 8 woodcuts in text.
