‎DIONYSIUS I OF SYRACUSE AND GREEK TYRANNY‎

‎Ex-library copy with usual stamps and markings, call numbers and pocket. ; Argues that the hostile picture of Dionysius that has come down to us, ultimately popularised in the negative account of Dionysius' arch-foe, the third century BC historian, Timaeus of Tauromenium, is basically Athenian, deriving from Athenian political circles engaged in propaganda aimed at tarnishing the tyrant's reputation. ; 189 pages‎

‎8 278 pp.Rare complete copy of the first and only edition of a passionate and thoroughly illustrated chronicle of the atrocities committed by Spain in the Low Countries. Although it includes an account under the date 1396 and reports various events from 1518 to 1555 the title-page indicates that it begins with the reign of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V which would be 1519 it quickly moves forward to the accession of King Philip II of Spain in 1556 and his draconian oppression of Protestants and of those who opposed Spanish rule in the Low Countries. It continues up to 1609 when Spain and the Netherlands agreed to a twelve-years' truce in the Eighty Years' War. The occasion for the publication was the expiration of that truce in 1621 and the resumption of the war. As a political polemic it aimed to remind people of Spain's offenses stoke fear and incite anti-Spanish feelings to gain support for the war. The Spanish atrocities bad enough from any point of view are therefore depicted as brutally and offensively as possible both in words and in images. It includes many images of Spanish soldiers in armour torturing mutilating sometimes sexually and slaughtering often naked men women and children and attacking and presumably raping women. It also depicts numerous sieges and battles from the first half of the Eighty Years' War and a few diplomatic events. The three portraits show the notorious governor of the Spanish Netherlands Fernando Grand Duke of Alba 1507-1582 his more moderate successor Luis de Requesens 1528-1576 and the murdered father of free Dutch Republic Willem de Zwijger William the Silent Prince of Orange 1533-1584. The lower two-thirds of the frontispiece shows a view through a colonade with people being hanged beheaded burned at the stake stretched on a rack while one man tightens the rack another forces water or worse down the victim's throat one man hangs upside down from his knees a woman hangs by her breasts another dark-skinned woman is held aloft perhaps about to be impaled and bodies lie piled on the ground. Three smaller scenes above show an audience with the pope a diplomatic meeting around a table and an execution by beheading. The book offers an unambiguous picture of what the people of the Low Countries can expect if they again fall under Spanish rule.With remnants of two red-orange wax seals on the first free end-leaf apparently showing part of a coat of arms not identified and two more on the paste-down at the end where a manuscript note also refers to p. 210 for the Spanish nobility. The frontispiece on the recto of the half-title has been cut down to the border of the engraving and mounted on a blank leaf with a window around the letterpress half-title and the preliminary leaves are somewhat worn and tattered one just touching the text at the fore-edge. Further with an occasional small stain in the text some mostly marginal water stains and small worm trails at the head of the gutter margin in four quires not reaching the text or images but most of the leaves remain in good condition. A rare complete copy of an important and extensively illustrated record of Spanish atrocities as the Low Countries prepared to resume its war of independence from Spain ultimately successful for the Dutch Republic.l Bib.
