Printer's device (Schreiber 18) on title. WITH 1692 COLLÈGE MAZARIN PRIZE PRESENTATION to Laurence Thibault for Greek oratory, signed by the head of College P. J. Le Chapelier, with seal of the college attached, tipped onto title page. Main text in Greek, dedication (to James VI of Scotland) and Estienne's annotations in Latin. Renouard 149.6; Hoffmann III, 577; Dibdin II, 567; USTC 450908. Lower corner of back board somewhat bumped, leather slightly marked, other very modest exterior wear, but the stately binding in nearly fine condition. First five quires with two tiny wormholes to tail margin, final signature with a little creasing, other insignifcant imperfections, but AN ESPECIALLY FRESH, CLEAN, AND BRIGHT COPY INTERNALLY, the leaves crackling when you turn them. This copy of what Renouard calls the "far superior" Estienne Xenophon is offered in a very attractive binding that was used as a prize for a student at the Collège Mazarin near the close of the 17th century. Best known to his contemporaries as an historian and general, as well as an opponent of Athenian democracy, Xenophon (ca. 430-354 B.C.) was a student of Socrates, and aside from Plato's, his works contain the only surviving examples of Socratic dialogues. Although born in Athens, Xenophon greatly admired Sparta and its political structure, and he eventually went to war for Sparta against the Athenians (this earned him land in Sparta, but unsurprising exile from Athens). Xenophon's philosophical writings found popularity in the Renaissance, and some scholars have suggested that Machiavelli was particularly influenced by Xenophon's more "practical" (i.e., ruthless) approach to politics. The present 1581 printing is among the most highly regarded Renaissance editions of Xenophon's works. The printer and scholar Henri Estienne II (1528-98) was a brilliant classicist best known for producing "Thesaurus Graecae Linguae" (1572), a standard reference for 300 years. He produced his first Xenophon in 1561, but fully revised the text for the present edition. Dibdin tells us that "the edition of 1581 has more intrinsic value than the preceding one," and Renouard notes that it is "not as pretty as the 1561 edition, but far superior." Our copy, fittingly, was presented as a prize for Greek oratory to a student at the Collège Mazarin, founded by a bequest from the former first minister of France, Jules, Cardinal Mazarin (1602-61). Mazarin was not just a prince of the Church and an advisor to the Sun King, but one of the greatest bibliophiles of his day, with a library of 40,000 volumes that became the foundation of the Bibliothèque Mazarine. Our book is bound in a style appropriate to that famed collection, with Mazarin's personal supralibros at the center of each board. The partly printed award certificate bound in at the front indicates that Laurence Thibault had won second prize for Greek oration in the college's "solemn games" honoring the royal recognition of the college. It is signed by the head of the college, Pierre-Jean Le Chapelier de Mauron, who held a doctorate from the Sorbonne and simultaneously served as abbot of the Abbey of Ste Marie-de-Boquen in Brittany.

Aggiungi al carrello243 x 153 mm. (9 1/2 x 6"). xx, [8], 401, [31] pp.Edited by Henry Homer, from the edition of Charles Rollin. SUPERB CONTEMPORARY RED STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO, GILT, covers with frame of shells, flowers, and volutes, arms of Henry Homer at center, smooth spine divided into compartments by plain rules and chain rolls, compartments w…ith cornucopia centerpiece overflowing with wheat sheaves, volutes at corners, gilt lettering, Greek key roll on turn-ins, pale blue watered silk endleaves, all edges gilt. With engraved frontispiece portait of Henry Homer after Sylvester Harding, dated 1791. Front pastedown with late 19th century Jolliffe armorial bookplate; front flyleaf with ink Latin inscription presenting this volume to Charles Jolliffe, as a school prize for diligence at Reading School, signed by headmaster Richard Valpy and dated 15 Nov. 1799. âSpine uniformly darkened to maroon, rear board just a little marked, portrait somewhat foxed, but a very attractive copy, clean and fresh internally, in a considerably appealing unrestored contemporary binding showing little wear. This work, which sets forth a still-influential theory of education, appears here in a handsome binding that was originally an appropriate prize for a diligent pupil, awarded by a headmaster of considerable distinction. A rhetorician of Spanish origin, Quintilian (ca. 35-ca. 95 A.D.) was a respected teacher in Rome, where his pupils included Pliny the younger and the grandnephews of Emperor Domitian. After his retirement, he wrote this treatise as a manual for educating an orator, from early childhood through young adulthood; a complete manuscript of the work was discovered by Poggio Bracciolini, and it first appeared in print in 1470. The bulk of the volume covers the matter and manner of oratory, while the first two books (of 12) contain important early comments on the theories of education; the final two books constitute a critical history of earlier classical literature, in which Quintilian ranks authors in their respective disciplines, setting Homer and Virgil at the top of Greek and Latin literature, respectively. Editor Henry Homer (1753-91) was a fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and a brilliant classical scholar who produced editions of Livy, Tacitus, Sallust, Cicero, Pliny, Ovid, and Julius Caesar in his brief life. He died before our Quintilian was finished, and the work was completed by his brothers, Arthur and Philip Bracebridge. Our binding is identical to a copy of Homer's edition of Sallust in the collection of Sir Paul Getty at Wormsley Library. It is possible that Henry's brothers had some copies of his works thus bound as a tribute to him. Our volume was presented in 1799 to Charles Jolliffe, perhaps the son of Thomas Samuel Jolliffe, who was killed at Waterloo in 1815. This possibility is supported by the fact that the volume came from the library of Ammerdown House in Somerset, built by Thomas Jolliffe in 1788 and still the seat of the Jolliffe family, raised to the peerage as Barons Hylton. At the time our binding was presented, Reading School was just reaching the height of its prosperity and influence under the leadership of Richard Valpy (1754-1836). In the years since his 1781 appointment, DNB tells us, he had reviatalized the struggling school, raising the number of students to 120, "of whom many were the sons of Berkshire magnates and gentry." Despite being a strict disciplinarian and "a mighty flogger," Valpy was "held in high esteem and affection" by his pupils. He was most respected for his scholarship and produced texts used for Greek and Latin instruction throughout the country. Utterly devoted to the school, he turned down two opportunities to become a bishop and declined the headmaster position at the renowned Rugby School to reamin at Reading, which he served for 50 years.
