Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Printed in Great Britain. Date from the title page. (Second Impression: Limited to 500 copies.) Introduction, The Life, &c., Fragments, Footnotes, Additional Notes; xi, [iii], 252 pages. The original light yellow cloth is excelle…nt, with corners square and copper lettering on the barely bumped spine about as bright as if just issued. [NB---the author's name is 'Iamblicus' on the spine and also on the dust jacket.] The interior is creamy-bright, crisp, and completely clean. The engraving of the head of Iamblichus faces the title page. This is a lovely fresh copy. The original dust jacket shows some age-toning, mostly on the sunned spine, has several chips, not affecting the text, and is clipped at the bottom of front flap. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] From the Introduction: "With respect to the Pythagoric Sentences in this volume, [. . .] I have endeavored, and I trust not in vain, to give the genuine sense of Sextus, unmingled with the barbarous and polluted interpolations of Ruffinus." § [T]he Pythagoric life which is here delineated [. . .] exhibits piety unadulterated with folly, moral virtue uncontaminated with vice, science unmingled with sophistry, dignity of mind and manners unaccompanied with pride, a sublime magnificence in theory, without any degradation in practice, and a vigor of intellect, which elevates its possessor to the vision of divinity, and thus deifies while it exalts." [See my father's 1926 first reprint of this work, listed separately.] As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage.
