A 1696 Latin edition of Quintus Curtius Rufus's history of Alexander the Great, printed in Leiden by Petrus vander Aa with scholarly commentaries by Raderus, Bongars, Freinsheim and others, written for classical scholars and readers. Its pictures are engraved plates, one showing a dramatic bedside scene with draped canopy and soldiers, and others showing portrait medallions of Midas, Philip II and Alexander with ancient coins, giving designers classical numismatic borders, profile busts and formal engraved layouts to draw on.
