Date:1603
Description:An Elizabethan identification of a Shakespearian sourcebook. An early owner of this volume stored his books in the same way as many of his contemporaries, with the fore-edge facing outwards, rather than with the spine being visible as later became the usual practice. The word ‘Plutarch’ has been written in ink across the edge by an early owner, and it is likely that an identifying name was not added to the spine until much later. Full title: Plutarch, The lives of the noble Grecians and Romaines compared together Translated out of Greeke into French by James Amiot... and out of French into English by Sir Thomas North, Imprinted at London by Richard Field for Thomas Wight, 1603.
