Paris Parisiis Apud Hieronymum de Marnef sub Pelicano Monte D. Hilarii 1560. 12mo. 59628 index2 epilogue 'Candido Lectori'1 woodcut illustration1 woodcut printer's mark of De Marnef p. Later vellum 13 cm - The greatest known source of information about the philosophers of antiquity Ref: Hoffmann 1569; Graesse 2397 erroneously dating 1561 Details: 2 thongs laced through the joints. Woodcut printer's mark of De Marnef on the title BaTyR no. 28133 depicting a pelican on his nest feeding his young with his own blood; the motto is: 'In me mors in me vita'. On the last page another version of De Marnef's printer's mark BaTyR no. 2882 now depicting a griffon that holds in its claw a cubic weight to which is attached a winged globe. The cube stands for constancy and the globe for fortune; the motto is: 'Virtutis et gloriae comes invidia'. Marnef used this version of his mark only at the end of the books he printed; This printer's mark very closely resembles that of the Lyonese printer Sébastien Gryphius only the motto is different. Greek text and a Latin translation. Condition: Vellum somewhat age-toned. Short title in ink on the back. Front flyleaf removed. Stamp on front pastedown and on the title; tiny hole in outer margins of title; 4 tiny holes in last leaf; Binder's error: he bound leaf X7 p. 333/4 probably a cancel before leaf X3 Note: This is according to Graesse a repetition of the edition of 'De vita et moribus etc.' edited by Johannes Boulierius Jean Boulier Lyon 1556. We compared both works and conclude that Graesse is more or less right. The typesetter of the 1560 edition had most probably the 1556 edition before him. He repeats even the printed marginal remarks and annotations. But there are occasionally minute differences in the Greek text and sometimes the 1560 edition adds an explanatory marginal remark. In book 7 p. 340 in the life of Zeno Criticus for instance we found a printed 'varia lectio'. There 1556 has only therizonti 1560 adds in the margin: ' Forte erizonti contentioso'. In 1556 the number 58 is quintaginta & octo in 1560 Duodesexaginta. p. 425 & 342 In the epilogue dated 1560 we read that we have here a text revised and ameliorated with the help of a manuscript 'cuius quamvis mutili veritate & fide non pauca restituenda emendandaque curavit Hieronymus Marnefius Parisiensis Typographus'. Leaf 2Q7. This activity is confirmed in the 'Extrait du Privilège du Roi' which grants Marnefius the exclusive right to publish this text 'Lequel auroit esté nouvelement reveu visité corrigé additionné & augmenté' for the next six years. Leaf A1 verso which is the verso of the title Immediately after this privilege and preceding the Latin translation we find a 3 page letter of Fr. Ambrosius addressed to Cosimo de' Medici. This letter is meant to assure the reader that this 1560 translation is a reliable old and often printed one based on the translation that was made by the Italian priest theologian and Hellenist Ambrogio Traversari O.S.B. Cam. also known as Ambrosius Traversari or Ambrosius Camaldulensis 1386-1439. He worked between 1424 and 1433 on this translation which came to be widely circulated in manuscript form and was only published in Rome in 1472. In this dedicatory letter Ambrosius Traversari tells us that he translated the 'Lives of the Philosophers' at the request of Cosimo de' Medici. 'Tibi . hoc opus dedicatum fuit qui & autoritate tua in primis nos ad illud impulisti'. p. 5 The 'Lives of the Philosophers' of the Greek author Diogenes Laertius who probably lived in the first half of the 3rd cent. A.D. is a compendium full of biographies of the ancient philosophers from Thales to Epicurus and their doctrines. Diogenes Laertius drew his material from earlier compilations. His reliability and value differ from passage to passage. Some give invaluable information other passages offer mere caricature. OCD 2nd ed. p. 348/49 It 'provides not a systematic analysis but rather a eulogistic narrative of the course of ancient philosophy . of the four main classical schools the Academy Peripatetics Stoics and Epicureans. Anecdotal and perhaps largely apocryphal in nature still it gave to Renaissance humanists some conception of ancient philosophy especially of Platonic and Epicurean thought'. Ch.L. Stinger 'Humanism and the Church Fathers: Ambrogio Traversari 1386-1439 and Christian antiquity in the Italian Renaissance' Albany 1977 p. 71 Provenance: On the front pastedown a green stamp of 'Univ.

Contemporary calf. 19.5 cm The greatest known source of information about the philosophers of antiquity Ref: VD18 10213392-008; Hoffmann 1566; Dibdin 1504; Moss 1400/01; Brunet 2720; Graesse 2396; Ebert 6177 Details: Printed in 2 colums Greek text with facing Latin translation Condition: Binding scuffed & chafed especially at the extremes. Back & boards rubbed. Paper foxing yellowing and occasionally browning. Right upper corner of the last 80 p. is slightly waterstained. Some small and old ink annotations and underlinings Note: The 'Lives and Doctrines of the Philosophers' of the Greek author Diogenes Laertius who lived probably in the first half of the third century A.D. is still 'our best indirect source of knowledge for classical philosophy'. The 'Lives' comprises both a biographical and a doxographical account basically focused on Greek thinkers from the 6th to the 3rd century B.C. from Thales to Epicurus although references to schools and individuals extend to at least the 2nd century A.D.' The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 271 Diogenes Laertius drew his material from earlier compilations and his doxographic account offers long excerpts from primary texts not transmitted elsewhere for example Epicurus' 'Principal Doctrines'. Diogenes' reliability and value differ from passage to passage. Some give invaluable information other passages offer mere caricature. His approach is not a 'systematic analysis but rather a eulogistic narrative of the course of ancient philosophy and of the four main classical schools the Academy Peripatetics Stoics and Epicureans. Anecdotal and perhaps largely apocryphal in nature still it gave to Renaissance humanists like Leonardo Bruni Machiavelli Erasmus et alii some conception of ancient philosophy especially of Platonic and Epicurean thought.' Ch.L. Stinger 'Humanism and the Church Fathers: Ambrogio Traversari 1386-1439 and Christian antiquity in the Italian Renaissance' Albany 1977 p. 71 § The 'editio princeps' was published in Basel in 1533. The Latin translation was published much earlier in Rome in 1472. This translation was later revised several times and appears also in this book. It was made by the Italian Hellenist Ambrogio Traversari also known as Ambrosius Traversari 1386-1439. Our 1759 edition is a reissue of the edition of 1731 of Longolius which in turn was a revision of the 1692 edition which was produced by the Danish philologist Marcus Meibom or Marcus Meibomius. The edition of 1731 was produced by the German philologist and historian Paulus Daniel Longolius 1704-1779 from 1735 till his death Rector of the Gymnasium in Hof. He wrote on local history and was an editor of Zedler's Universallexikon. He also published three texts of classical authors: 'Plinii epistolae' Amsterdam 1734 this Diogenes edition Curiae i.e. Hof Saale 1739 and a Gellius edition Curiae 1741. ADB 19 156/57 The 1731 edition contained besides the Greek text and Latin translation a preface commentaries and engraved portraits. Because this edition was out of print and there was much demand for it the publisher Paulus Krausius decided to produce this Leipsic edition of 1759 which is in fact a reissue of the 1731 edition of Longolius omitting however the portraits the preface and the commentaries and offering the Greek text the Latin translation and 94 pages of indexes. Praefatio leaf 5 verso and 6 recto Provenance: on the front flyleaf in pencil 'RtK' this is Rijkel ten Kate 1918-2008. He taught classics at the Willem Lodewijk Gymnasium in Groningen.

EXTREMELY RARE FIRST PRINTING OF THE EDITIO PRINCEPS OF THIS REMARKABLY IMPORTANT BOOK AND A COPY WHICH IS OF THE VERY FINEST STATE AND CONDITION. The editio princeps of Diogenes Laertius’ Lives of the Famous Philosophers is the most important source of our knowledge in the history of Greek philosophy from Thales to Pyrrho. <br> The text was known only in the Latin translation by Ambrogio Traversari 1386-1439 which made its first appearance in print in Rome around 1472 and which was widely reprinted during the fourteenth and the first decades of the sixteenth century. This is the first printing of the book in its original language.<br> The edition is dedicated by the typographers Froben and Episcopius to the scholars and in their epistle they declare their publishing plan: to print at least a work per year able to combine usefulness and pleasure. <br> The text follows a manuscript provided by the professor of Greek and Hebrew at the University of Wittenberg Matthaeus Goldhahn 1480-1553 called Aurigallus probably a copy of the codex Raudnitzianus Lobkowicensis vi.F.c.38 at the time preserved in Komotau Bohemie in the house of the politician Bohuslav Lobkowitz von Hassenstein c. 1460-1510 and presently in the Library Národní Knihovna of Prague.
