‎Paris Chez Richard Libraire rue de la Harpe 1796. 8vo. 2 volumes: XXXII5071 blank; 5351 p. Calf 20 cm The greatest known source of information about the philosophers of antiquity Ref: Hoffmann 1570; Brunet 2721; cf. Cioranescu 18849; Graesse 2397; Ebert 6185 Details: Backs ruled gilt and with a shield. Marbled endpapers. Edges dyed red Condition: Backs very rubbed. Back of volume 1 cracked. Joints cracking but still strong. Head of the spines worn away. Partly foxed. Some inkstains. Two labels on the front pastedown 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 To the second volume has been added a 75 page biography of Confucius and of special interest 90 pages with short biographies of ancient women philosophers. This section a translation of 'Historia Mulierum Philosopharum' was taken and translated from the authoritative Diogenes Laertius edition of the French scholar Aegidius Menagius or Giles M�nage of 1692. We quote concerning this section the abstract of an article of professor Richard Maber: 'The late work of Gilles M�nage 1613-1692 'Historia mulierum philosopharum' 1690 is a compilation of all the information that he could gather concerning women philosophers from earliest antiquity to the fourteenth century. It made little impact when first published but is currently the subject of renewed interest in the context of women's studies with recent translations into English French Italian and Spanish. However the work's true importance is much greater than has been realised. M�nage included it as he had always intended in his monumental and definitive edition of Diogenes Laertius's Lives of the Philosophers 1692 the greatest known source of information about the male philosophers of antiquity. M�nage's 'Historia' thus became a supplement and corrective to Diogenes Laertius and was included with subsequent editions and translations of the irreplaceable Greek text. In this way the reality of women's capacity for the highest intellectual achievement was incontrovertibly established and women were integrated into the mainstream of the history of philosophy. An analysis of the frontispieces to the three volumes of Chauffepi�'s translation of Diogenes 1758 demonstrates how thanks explicitly to M�nage's work the role of women was now seen as crucial to modern intellectual life'. Richard G. Maber 2010 'Re-Gendering Intellectual Life: Gilles M�nage and his Histoire des femmes philosophes' Seventeenth-Century French Studies 321: 45-60 This French translation of Diogenes Laertius and of the 'Historia Mulierum Philosopharum' of M�nage is attributed to Jacques-Georges Chauffepi� a calvinist minister of the Walloon Church of French origin born in Leeuwarden in 1702. He preached in Flushing Delft and Amsterdam where he died in 1766. It was first published in Amsterdam in 1758.

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.
