“Histoire d’Aristarque de samos,… Par M. De F****” together with “Traite d’Aristarque de samos”, Paris, Duminil-Lesueur 1810 & 1811. 8vo, pp.463+360. French text on “Histoire d’Aristarque” and parallel Greek & Latin text on “Traite d’Aristarque” and 3 folding plates at the end. Ex Libris: “M. le Marquis de Fortia” with post-handwritten name “M. Mynas” and “Monsieur MYNAS Minoide”. Handwritten table of contents (most probably by M. Mynas). Wormholes on ~130 sheets, water-stains throughout, occasional handwritten notes. Missing most part of spine, tight though. It appears that the book initially belonged to the author’s library and eventually reached the hands of Minas Minoides (Μηνάς Μινωίδης) significant personality of the Modern Greek Enlightenment. Rare.
