‎" Paris, apud Michel Sonnius, 1572, in-folio, 32,5 x 22 cm, (10)pp (lvs numbered 1-5) + (90)nn pp (indices) + 1096 columns + (2)(bl) (complete). Bound in near contemporary leather over oak boards, raised spine with gilt decoration. Used binding with some leather restorations, inside clean copy. Provenance; on the title page an old manuscript ex-libris '' Carthusiae Lovaniensis '' . On the first fly leaf a 19th c. stamp from a Dutch Roman Catholic Seminary, on the title also a small circular stamp with the initials ''L.B.''. A fourth manuscript ex-libris has been shaved by the binder at the upper margin. It looks like another reference to the '' Carthusiae Lovaniensis'' Apart from the used binding a nicely preserved copy. This edition of the complete works of the Greek-Alexandrian church father Athanasius was edited by Petrus Nannius (Alkmaar 1550 - Leuven 1557 ) . He dedicated this work to his friend Antoine de Perrenot, bischop of Atrecht , later cardinal Granvelle, first archbischop of the Southern Netherlands. Nannius became professor at the Collegium Trilingue upon the death of Goclenius. The first edition of this work was published in Basle in 1556 by Froben in 4 volumes and again in 1564. Nannius had made a new translation of Greek source texts . Valentin Ampelander was the editor for this 1556 edition. USTC N° 138441."‎
