VI. Tristium V. De ponto IV. Dirae in Ibin, from the Venetian edition by diplomat and writer Andrea Navagero (1483 – 1529). Elsevir / Elzevir is the name of a family of Dutch booksellers, publishers, and printers of the 17th and early 18th centuries known for elegance of design, neatness, clearness and regularity of type, and beauty of paper. The duodecimo series of "Elzevirs" became very famous and very desirable among bibliophiles, who sought to obtain the tallest and freshest copies of these tiny books. Daniel Elsevir, whose name appears as the publisher of this small tome, was the son and nephew of the firm's founders, Bonaventura and Abraham.
