This unique book is an accumulation of several different editions of this book, illustrated by Flaxman. Other editions bound into this book are: Bohn, London 1854; Batelli and Fanfani, Milano, 1823; All of the illustration pages from these editions seem to be bound into this single book, the smaller sheets being professionally. However, lacking copies of the original bound books by themselves, I cannot verify this.
