Aggiungi al carrelloLeather. Condizione: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition Thus. [xvi], 578, [lxxx] pp. Small octavo. Full leather binding, probably 1600s, with blind ruling to the covers. First edition with Estienne's own editing. The printer is not named but since Estienne apologizes for the printing (because the ink is darker on some pages tha…n others), there's a good chance it was he -- most WorldCat entries show him as the assumed printer. Boards are scuffed and worn but still functional, spine covering is quite worn with evidence of old amateurish repair, joints cracking. Interior pastedowns are gone, first blank is quite browned and chipped and it is pulling away from the block, hinges cracked but sewing still strong. Interior text is clean and unmarked, a little browned near the front and back but otherwise good. In Latin with Greek text passages, primarily in Italic. Edited by the celebrated scholar/printer Henri Estienne (in Latin, Henricus Stephanus). It contains the important mystical Commentary on the Dream of Scipio - Cicero's account of a dream Roman general Scipio had two years before he conquered Carthage. Macrobius takes the dream and uses it to expound on Neo-Platonic, Stoic mystical and astronomical ideas -- ideas about Pythagorean thought, a round earth, the creation of the universe, the strange music of the spheres; all of which permeated Medieval thought. This edition also contains the other major text by Macrobius, the Saturnalia. Here, Macrobius describes the banquets and discussions held in the house of Vettius Praetextatus. He covers a broad range of topics -- mythological and astronomical, medical, tantalizingly citing numerous ancient texts, many of them now lost to history. This 1585 edition is important historically as it is also based on several manuscripts which had just been reviewed by the scholar Estienne. In addition to the text and commentary, Estienne also explains the process of examining old manuscripts and arriving at a definitive text -- a fascinating look at the efforts of a great classical scholar. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 578 pages.

'Henri Estienne's monumental edition of Plato, the first complete edition, which for two centuries remained the indispensable instrument of Platonic studies; to this day its pagination is universally accepted as the standard system of reference to the text of Plato' (Schreiber). The 'Stephanus' reference to chapters and paragraphs, still used in scholarship today, refers to the arrangement devised by Henri Estienne for this edition. This landmark edition of Plato's collected works ranks among the most remarkable and influential achievements of the eminent scholar-printer Henri EstienneII. He established the Greek text through meticulous comparison of the 1513 Aldine edition, the Basel printings of 1534 and 1566, and the 1531 Louvain edition of the Laws, supplementing these with manuscript sources. Maintaining his exacting scholarly principles, Estienne emended corrupt passages through conjecture, but printed the latter in the margins, clearly setting them apart from the text proper; he also rejected Ficino's Latin translation and arranged for a fresh one by Jean de Serres, which he carefully revised. Serres, a committed Protestant, prefaced the three volumes with individual dedicatory letters addressed to ElizabethI of England, JamesVI of Scotland, and the Canton of Berne. 'Of all Estienne's publications the Plato is perhaps the most lavishly decorated: besides numerous woodcut initials, culs-de-lampe, and a striking, elaborate title-device, it is the only publication in which Estienne used his entire series of decorative headpieces. Although this sumptuous Plato further contributed to Estienne's financial ruin, it is also (after the Thesaurus) the work which most contributed to his fame' (Schreiber). Both Renouard and Brunet note that copies in good condition are rare, while Dibdin writes: 'This work has long been considered as a very valuable acquisition to the libraries of the learned, and for its magnificence and variety of critical material must be always held in estimation'.

'39', ink stamp of Stinneke Maryland Episcopal Library (dated 1879, from the legacy of Bishop Whittingham) to first two leaves, first letterpress table, and woodcut map, bookplates of StMark's Library of the General Theological Seminary, New York, to front pastedown, with their pencil shelfmark and classification to verso of title.A richly annotated and extra-illustrated copy of Thucydides, edited and printed by perhaps the greatest Greek scholar of the sixteenth century; a bilingual edition with multilingual annotations, providing evidence of the keen interest in Thucydides demonstrated by German Protestant humanist scholars.The annotations cover books III, the start of book III, and books VIVII, in both the main text and the separate commentary. As well as marginal annotations, this copy has extensive underlining and a green wash applied over some passages of text, some of which are also highlighted in green in the index; in the chronology, some additional dates have been calculated and there are notes made about other classical texts, plausibly for teaching purposes. The notes indicate the source for variant readings ('Hen. Steph.' on A2v), translations of and grammatical comments on Greek words, typographical corrections made as per the errata, and notes on other texts (such as Cicero, Herodotus, and Pausanias). The main annotator has helpfully dated his reading; he began bookII on '28Junii a[nn]?o 1602', noting at the end of bookII, 'finivi 24 Novemb. a[nn]o 1603'; bookVI is started on 12April 1603, and at the end of bookVI, he writes 'finivi 26Aprilis a[nn]o 1603 Mane circa horam 9 & 10 ante Meridiam', giving not just the date but the time as well (between 9 and 10 in the morning); he begins book VII on '28 Aprilis', and finishes it on 3 November 1603, 'redux a exsilio' (returned from exile). The chart on 3a4v seems to be some sort of teaching plan or structure, listing six different subjects, and also giving the date November 1603, 'redux ab exilio perscripti et decrevi' (returned from exile, I noted down and decided), which would also indicate that the annotator is a teacher. Given the later provenance of the book, it seems likely that this annotator is the Tettelbach mentioned as the previous owner by Schulius. Somewhat unusually, a few of the marginal annotations are in German. Johann Zerner, who obtained the book in 1626, has also made notes in the book. At the end of the Life of Thucydides, ß4v, he has written out a fourteen-line verse about Herodotus and other historians (the final line is cropped), with his IZ monogram and the date 17February 1627. There is an unexpected mention of ElizabethI on H6v, 'Regina Angliae Elizabetha', where Thucydides has Pericles state 'The rule of the sea is a great matter' (Thuc.1.143); this was written presumably around the time of Elizabeth's death, in March 1603. The Protestant leanings of the annotator are confirmed by notes mentioning Philipp Melanchthon (on ee1v and ee2v); Melanchthon, as professor of Greek at Wittenberg, wrote and lectured on Thucydides, whom he saw as a moral and rhetorical teacher. The Wittenberg connection would be reinforced by Tettelbach, if our early owner was indeed Vitus Erasmus Tettelbach; he purchased a book in Wittenberg in 1568 at the age of 18, presumably when he was a student there. There is one note in English, in a small, neat hand on gg4v in the commentary, probably in the hand of Bishop Whittingham. The additional letterpress tables contain genealogies, extracted from a seventeenth-century edition of Herodotus. The woodcut map of Syracuse, based on the description in Thucydides booksVIVII, is from the 1596 Tübingen octavo edition of Thucydides, printed by Georg Gruppenbach (VD16 T 1127). The map of Greece is a close copy of the one from the 1614 Strasbourg edition of Thucydides, printed by Lazarus Zetzner (VD17 23:241109C), containing text by the editor Georgius Ennenckel. These were plausibly added when the book was rebound in the early nineteenth century. Provenance: 1. Tettelbach, plausibly Vitus Erasmus Tettelbach (or Dettelbach, 15501611), who died in Ansbach. 2. Johannes Nicolaus Schulius[?], purchased from the Tettelbach library, Thursday 13 June 1611, with purchase price noted. 3. Johannes Zerner, Conrector (deputy) of the Heilbronn Gymnasium, 1626; Greek had been taught at Heilbronn since the 1530s. 4. William Rollinson Whittingham (18051879), Episcopal Bishop of Maryland; he had both attended and lectured at the General Theological Seminary. A renowned collector of books, as was his father, he.

Herodotus ( c. 484 c. 425 BC) was a Greek historian and geographer from the Greek city of Halicarnassus (now Bodrum, Turkey), under Persian control in the 5th century BCE, and a later citizen of Thurii in modern Calabria, Italy. He wrote the Histories, a detailed account of the Greco-Persian Wars, and was the first writer to apply a scientific method to historical events. He has been described as The Father of History, a title conferred on him by the ancient Roman orator Cicero, and the Father of Lies by others. Gottfried Jungermann (? - 1610) was a German philologist, born in Leipzig. He was a man of great learning, who was a proofreader in Frankfurt and Hanau. In addition to some original works, he is notably responsible for an edition of Herodotus, with the Latin translation of Valla (1608, in-fol.), a Greek version of the Commentaries of Caesar, attributed to Planudes, observations on the Onomasticon of Julius Pollux. The 1608 Jungermann edition follows the first Henr. Stephanus edition, Paris, 1570 (Greek only) and the second edition, Paris, 1592 (Greek and Latin). This Frankfurt Edition, 1608, edited by Gottfried Jungermann, made considerable improvements on Stephanus work by dividing the books into chapters, amending the life of Herodotus, and including the annotations of Sylburgius, numerous passages from Ctesias, a glossary in Greek, and an appendix regarding the overflowing of the Nile. It would be reprinted in Geneva in 1618. RAREE1608NUVX 01/25 - HK2237.

Diogenes Laertius compiled his Lives probably in the early third century AD, often making use of earlier compilations and helpfully naming his sources. The Greek text was originally printed in 1533, but Estienne used manuscripts with additional sections of text which were incorporated for the first time into this edition, including a manuscript from Cardinal Bessarion's library which he had borrowed in 1555. The Latin translation is that of Ambrogio Traversari, composed c.14241433 and first printed in 1472, and the Pythagorean fragments were edited with notes by the Utrecht scholar Willem Canter (15421575). Estienne was not, however, uncritical of Diogenes' text: 'In his preface he is critical of Diogenes' subjects, explaining that while there are philosophical aspects to the Lives, the men in them are hardly worthy of the title of "philosophers." Estienne, by separating the philosophical life from the possible lives of those whom Diogenes calls philosophers, was drawing a clear line between a collection of disparate philosophies and "the" philosophy, which could only come from a sacred text' (Calhoun, Montaigne and the Lives of the Philosophers, 2015, pp.8788). Provenance:Likely from the library of the French Protestant antiquarian Jean Masson (16801750) who was in the Netherlands and then in England in the early eighteenth century, working under the patronage of William Lloyd, Bishop of Worcester, in his research on biblical chronology.USTC 450603; Adams D482; GLN 1516 2405; Schreiber, The Estiennes 178.

Aggiungi al carrelloVolume one only (of 2, but complete in itself) of an edition of Homer's collected works published by the Dutch bookseller Johannes van Ravesteyn (1618-1681), comprising the Greek text of the Iliad with a Latin translation on the opposite pages, edited by the French printer and classical scholar Henricus Stephanus (Henri Estienne…, ca. 1528-1598). The text is reprinted after the edition which was published by Estienne in 1589 in Geneva, including his preface to the reader, his letter to the dedicatee Karl von Zerotin (1564-1636) and his preface to Homer. The Latin translation was made by the Greek-Italian humanist and classical scholar Franciscus Portus (1511-1581).This volume was in the former possession of Pieter Nuyts (who purchased it in 1650, the year of publication), a Dutch explorer and diplomat who was employed by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Nuyts was born in 1598 in Middelburg and studied philosophy at the University of Leiden. In 1626 he went to Java and visited on the way Australia, exploring and mapping for the first time the southern coast of Western Australia of which a part was named after him (including a group of islands, the Nuyts Archipelago). He was appointed both governor of Formosa (Taiwan) and ambassador to Japan in 1627, but became a controversial figure due to his private misbehaviour and disastrous handling of official duties. In 1637, Nuyts returned to the Low Countries and settled in Zeelandic Flanders. He was appointed mayor in Hulst where he died in 1655.Provenance: With the manuscript ownership entry in black ink by the Dutch explorer and diplomat Pieter Nuyts (1598-1655) on verso of the second free endpaper, with his motto "Age nunc quod moritur[us] ages" (Act now for you are about to die), signed "P: Nuijts" and dated "1650".
