Title romanized from Greek; text and signatures in Greek; contents listed on t.p. in Greek and Latin.
Imprint from colophon.
Vol. 2 has no. t.p.; the signatures are continuous, but each volume has its own register of quires, where it is called, respectively, "primum volumen", and "secundum uolumen."
First collected edition of Euripides. The "commentaries" mentioned on the t.p. (meaning probably the scholia by Arsenius) were not published in this edition, but were printed in Venice by L.A. Junta in 1534.
Title page lists seventeen tragedies, but a manuscript source for "Hercules Furens" was rediscovered after the book went to press, and this eighteenth play was appended at the end of the second volume.
