First Edition • Paris : Brocas & Barbou • 12mo
Fine speckled calf • Large fold-out engraved map (380 × 250 mm)

Provenance & Scholarly Context

Ex-Craig W. Kallendorf—Professor of Classics & English at Texas A&M, contributor to the Princeton Virgil Project, and owner of one of the largest private Virgil collections in the world. His personalised ex libris bookplate is affixed to the front pastedown (see photo #1).

Who was Craig W. Kallendorf?

  • Author of In Praise of Aeneas, The Other Virgil, Virgil and the Moderns, and dozens of articles on reception.
  • Compiled the standard Bibliography of Early Printed Editions of Virgil (1469-1850); this book is entry "1771.1 — Helliez, Géographie de Virgile".
  • Advisor to Princeton's digital Vergilian Library initiative & Fellow of the American Academy in Rome.

Condition — VG interior & binding / Near Fine map

  • Contemporary speckled calf, five raised bands, gilt fleurons; tiny scuff to lower joint.
  • Fold-out map crisp, no splits; light offsetting only.

Why Collect This First Edition

Helliez created the first pocket atlas that lets readers trace every locale in the Aeneid on a single oversized map—a breakthrough in Enlightenment-era "learn by travelling on paper." Pair that innovation with a deluxe calf binding and ownership by the modern bibliographer of Virgil, and you have a copy that unites 18th-century ingenuity with 21st-century scholarship.
