1639In 8°; (16), XVI, 856, 42 (ultima carta bianca) pp. Bella legatura coeva in piena pergamena molle con titolo parlato al dorso. Tiolo chiosato da mano coeva al dorso. Bel ritratto della regina Elisabetta I a carta *8v. realizzato da Crispian van Queboren nel 1625 ed assente nelle edizioni precedenti. Frontespizio in rosso e nero. Due antiche firme di appartenenza al margine basso del frontespizio. Testatine e finalini ornati. Esemplare leggermente brunito a causa della qualità della carta elzeviriana ma mai in modo fastidioso o intenso e nel complesso in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Questa prima edizione elzeviriana, considerata la più completa e corretta, di questa celebre storia d’Inghilterra ebbe anche una contraffazione nel 1677. Lo studio è considerato come la principale fonte storica dell’età elisabettiana. L’opera che si basa principalmente sulle carte private di Lord Burghley, contiene numerose parti inerenti alla storia americana e fu grandemente apprezzata da Francis Bacon. Camden considerato fra i padri della moderna storiografia e figlio del celebre pittore Samson, fu anche celebre umanista e cartografo oltre ad abile antiquario. Lavorò a questa che fu la sua opera principale tutta la vita continuando a raccogliere informazioni e materiali dai principali personaggi della sua epoca aggiornando così il suo lavoro ad ogni nuova edizione. Sembra che oltre al materiale di Burghley, l’autore disponesse di materiale e testimonianze passategli da Sir John Fortescue , ultimo “Chancellor of the Exchequer” di Elizabeth, e di Henry Cuffe “the Earl of Essex’s secretary”. Bibl.: Willems 475. Edizione tra le meno comuni. Very good copy.
