It took about 2 weeks for delivery, but lo and behold, last Wednesday I received a full set of the 9 volume Loeb edition, and except for the dust covers being faded and in some places torn or missing corners, a loose binding on one volume, etc., the volumes are in pretty good shape. They were all, apparently, from the Bibliotheek Arnhem, Koningstraat, with the library catalogue number RW 281/143-151.
Since the bookshop name, antiquariaat ISIS (aka ISIS-books, Groningen, Netherlands), has the word "ISIS" in its business name (referring of course to the Hellenized Egyptian goddess), and the word has obtained such a bad reputation nowadays, at least among our country's present leadership (which tends to ignore the fact that "ISIL" is now the correct name for the caliphate when it spilled into Iraq from Syria), that our current US President, ever suspicious of Islamic extremist terrorists sneaking their literature into our country to radicalize our home-boys, probably has placed me on a terror watch list.
Good thing I do not have to fly for my current job.
I double checked the publication dates:
1926 - Vol. I (1) - Life & Against Apion, with Index
1927 - Vol. II (2)- JW I-III (1-3) no index
1928 - Vol. III (3) - JW IV-VII (4-7) with Index to vols. 2 & 3
1930 - Vol. IV (4) - JA I-IV (1-4) no index
1934 - Vol. V (5) - JA V-VIII (5-8) no index
1937 - Vol. VI (6) - JA IX-XI (9-11) no index
1943 - Vol. VII (7) - JA XII-XIV (12-14) no index
1963 - Vol. VIII (8) - JA XV-XVII (15-17) no index
1965 - Vol. IX (9) - JA XVIII-XX (18-20) with Index of names & places (not generally subjects) to Loeb vols. 1-9
As all the Loeb volumes, except Vols. 1 & 6 above, had their contents jiggered over time as they expended from 9 to 10 and then 13 volumes, it should be noted that this 9 volume set was apparently last published in 1969.
I have updated the table in my earlier post, where necessary.
