Elzevir \El"ze*vir\, a. (Bibliog.)
   Applied to books or editions (esp. of the Greek New Testament
   and the classics) printed and published by the Elzevir family
   at Amsterdam, Leyden, etc., from about 1592 to 1680; also,
   applied to a round open type introduced by them.

         The Elzevir editions are valued for their neatness, and
         the elegant small types used.            --Brande & C.
