Folio, contemporary panelled calf gilt, spine worn, chipped at top, lower outer corner of front cover damaged; some browning, upper portion of opening leaves dampstained with occasional slight traces of mold.

- Notes: Reprinted from the 1553 original edition of Douglas's translation and edited by Thomas Ruddiman, who compiled the glossary. "Ruddiman's folio edition of the Aeneid, 1710, marked an era in philology by supplying in its glossary a foundation for Jameson's Scottish Dictionary" (DNB).
