Fine Greek and Latin edition in a clean, wide-margined copy. A "much expanded" (cf. Hoffmann) Venetian reprint of John Potter's edition of St. Clement (Oxford 1715), "a very splendid and elaborate edition, worthy [...] the erudition of the very learned prelate who hath so happily illustrated this miscellaneous writer" (Harwood, quoted in Dibdin I, 188). "The editor (as is well known) was afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury; and will long be remembered and reverenced for his acute and successful emendations of some of the most difficult of the Greek writers" (ibid.).

The frontispiece shows the Saint; the engraved title-page shows an appealing view of St Mark's Basilica in Venice.
