Caesar. (Caius Julius Caesar) [Ca. 100-44 B.C.]; Rohan, Henri Duke De.
LE PARFAIT CAPITAINE. Autrement L'Abrege' des Guerres des Commentaires de Cesar. Augmente d'un Traicte: De L'Interest des Princes & Estats de la Chrestiente.
pp. (9), 364 + Folding charts. Woodcut illustrations. Damp stained. Small 24mo. [120 x 65 mm.] Worn contemporary full leather binding. Boards detached. Fine engraved armorial (1713) Ex Libris of Henry Grey (1664?-1740), Duke of Kent; and Thomas Philip (1781-1859), 3rd Baron Grantham, Earl de Grey. The text used here can probably be principally attributed to Henri, duc de Rohan. This example was owned by Henry Grey who was created Duke of Kent in 1710, and was one of the Lords Justices after the death of Queen Anne in 1714, and held various offices at the court during the reign of George I. Another distinguished owner was Thomas Philip, 3rd Baron Grantham, Earl de Grey. In 1831 De Grey was appointed yeomanry aide-de-camp to William IV, and held a similar post in 1837 under Queen Victoria. In Sir Robert Peel's first administration he held office as First Lord of the Admiralty. He was lord-Lieutenant of Ireland 1841 to 1844, and during that period was Grand Master of the Order of St. Patrick . On his return from Ireland he was created a knight of the Garter. He discharged the functions of his Vice Regal position impartially and with credit, and his retirement was much regretted by the people of Dublin. De Grey was the first president of the Institution of British Architects from its foundation in 1834, 'til his death. He was also a fellow of the Royal Society, 29 April 1841, a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and served as one of the New Palace commissioners from 1848. An unusual little edition that was avidly read during the Huguenot wars in France. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 3

Cicero, Marcus Tullius.
M. TULLII CICERONIS ORATIONUM. cum optimis ac postremis exemplaribus accurate collatus. Tomus I-II.
pp. 614; 550. Some slight worming with loss of a few letters. Some old age stain. Latin text. Small 24mo. 135 mm. Plain old vellum binding. Early manuscript ownerships of Jac: Albani Gibbesij, M.D. Rome, 1653. This is certainly James Alban Gibbes or Ghibbes (1611-1677), a Latin poet, who was probably born at Valognes in France, the son of English parents. His father, William Gibbes of Bristol, enjoyed a successful medical practice in England, eventually acting as physician to Queen Henrietta Maria. James was sent abroad to receive a Roman Catholic education.He subsequently travelled in the Low Countries, Spain, Germany, and Italy. Like many other youthful travellers, Gibbes took advantage of the opportunity to study at some of the universities along his route, notably in Padua (from November 1641), which had a distinguished medical faculty. In 1644 Gibbes moved to Rome; for two years he acted as tutor to Almerico, son of Francis, duke of Modena. This employment did not, however, prevent him from taking additional patrons, including Cardinal Luigi Capponi, and medical positions. Gibbes flattered in Latin verse each of the various popes under whom he lived, receiving favours from them in return. Gibbes began to publish his Latin poems and orations in the 1650s. `Clementia' (composed in 1653, the year he signed this book), is an ironic poetic complaint that he had been turned down for the post of keeper at the Vatican Library. Gibbes's poetic fame spread outside Rome. Few British authors enjoyed such a great continental reputation as a poet. Two volumes of three. Especially interesting because of the association with Gibbes, who may have intended this set as a gift to the English College at St Omer. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 9 Classics.

Juvenal (Decimus Junius Juvenalis) & Persius (Aulus Persius Flaccus).
D. JUN. JUVENALIS ET AULI PERSII FLACCI SATYRAE.
119p. + Engraved title page (which shows Baccus sitting on the globe). Light damp and age stain. Thin 32mo. [115 x 58 mm.] Contemporary full leather binding, varnished and cracked at joints. Juvenal was a great Roman satirical poet. His verse established a model for the satire of indignation, in contrast to the less harsh satire of ridicule of Horace. Little is known about his life except that during much of it he was desperately poor. A tradition tells that as a youth he was banished from court for satirizing an imperial favorite; later his work reveals a deep hatred for the Emperor Domitian. He is known chiefly for his 16 satires, which contain a vivid representation of life in Rome under the empire. They were probably written in the years between A.D. 100 and A.D. 128. The biting tone of his diatribes has seldom been equaled. From the stern point of view of the older Roman standards he powerfully denounces the lax and luxurious society, the brutal tyranny, the affectations and immora lity of women, and the criminal excesses of Romans as he saw them, especially in his earlier years. The rhetorical form of his verse is finished, exact, and epigrammatic, furnishing many sayings that have become familiar through quotation - Columbia Encyclopedia. Frequently joined with the satires of Juvenal are those of a fellow Roman satirist, Persius. Born in Etruria, a member of a distinguishe d family, he went to Rome in boyhood, was educated there, and came under the influence of the Stoic philosopher Lucius Annaeus Cornutus, to whom he became attached in lasting friendship. Gentle and mo dest by nature, Persius had high moral standards. His writings (only six short satires), influenced in manner by Horace and Lucilius, preach Stoic moral doctrine. He exposed to censure the corruption and folly of contemporary Roman life, contrasting it with the ideals of the Stoics and of earlier Rome - Columbia Encyclopedia.

Petronius Arbiter, Gaius (fl. 65 AD).
THE SATYRICON OF PETRONIUS ARBITER, Adapted from the Translation of W. C. Firebaugh. With an Essay by Charles Whibley.
8vo. 269p. DJ. The vivid, elegant, and mildly erotic Satyricon is usually attributed to Nero's friend, Gaius Petronius Arbiter. The surviving portions of the text detail the misadventures of the narrator, Encolpius, and his lover, a handsome sixteen-year-old boy named Giton. Throughout the novel, Encolpius has a hard time keeping his lover faithful to him as he is constantly being enticed away by others. Encolpius's friend Ascyltus (who seems to have previously been in a relationship with Encolpius) is another major character. It is one of the two most extensive examples of the Roman novel, the only other being fully extant Metamorphoses of Apuleius, which is quite different in style and plot. It is also extremely important evidence for the reconstruction of what everyday life must have been like for the lower classes during the early Roman Empire. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W121

Plutarch.
PLUTARCH'S LIVES. Translated From the Original Greek with Notes. by John & William Langhornes.
Tall 8vo. 748p. Double columns. Foxed. Original decorated cloth binding. Bold comments and underlining by a modern reader. This Baltimore version is not recorded in AI, though see: AI 39645-6. Plutarc h was the greatest ancient biographer. His great work is The Parallel Lives comprising 46 surviving biographies arranged in pairs (one Greek life with one comparable Roman) and four single biographies . Plutarch displays evident pride in the culture and greatness of the men of Greece, he is nevertheless fair and honest in his treatment of the Romans. As a biographer Plutarch is almost peerless, alt hough his facts are not always accurate. Since his purpose was to portray character and reveal its moral implications, his technique included the use of much anecdotal material. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W121

Later manuscript vellum spine label: "INCERTA" (meaning uncertain or doubtful). Was this perhaps a critic's warning about the accuracy of the notes on Caesar that Scaliger gathered together?

Lovely edition of this "universal" Roman history. A brief history of the Barbou Classics is given by Schweiger (II 1269). In 1742 Lenglet de Fresnoy persuaded Coustelier to start a series which was meant to be a French rival to the Elzeviers - even surpassing th em in tersms of schoalrship and typography. Though this effort soon exhausted itself, it was revived by Jean Joseph Barbou in 1753. Seven of these attractive little books appeared in 1753-1755, and th ough there were more issued in the next decade, there was not enough market interest to support a sustained publishing program. They still stand as a monument to French scholarship and typography. Brunet IV:430. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 4

Florus, Lucius Annaeus (fl. 2nd century AD).
L. ANNAEUS FLORUS [RERUM ROMANARUM]. Cl. Salmasius addidit.
pp. (8), 336, (8) + Title engraved by Duysend. 24mo. [129 x 73 mm.] Lightly damp stained. Later full dark brown morocco gilt binding. This rare variant edition has the uncorrected errors in pagination, but the engraved title has the correct S.P.Q.R. Old collector's manuscript note relating to this edition is attached. Florus was a Roman historian and poet. This is his Epitome of Roman History. Florus was said to have addressed the well-known lines to Hadrian beginning, "Ego nolo Caesar esse" [I do not wish to be a Caesar], which provoked Hadrian's satirical parody, "I do not wish to be a Florus," quoted by Spartianus. This important edition was edited by the great "monarch and tyrant of literature", Claude Salmasius (1593?-1653). The Dutch family of Elzevier (Elzevir; Elsevier) were the foremost printers of their time. They produced a vast variety of well printed scholarly and popular books; many in a very small handy format. Louis Elzevier, the founder of the firm, produced his first book in Leiden in 1583. The 'golden age' of Elzevier printing was between 1620 and 1680. The Elzevier dynasty probably produced their last publication in 1770. Brunet II:1311; Dibdin II:10; Willems 467. RARE. SMALL BOX 2

As a youth John Colin Dunlop was studious and retired in disposition. He was admitted an advocate in 1807, but was only nominally at the bar. The first edition of his well-known 'History of Fiction' was published at Edinburgh in 1814. Dunlop was appointed Sheriff Depute of the Shire of Renfrew, in 1816. This office he retained until his death. In 1823 he produced the first two volumes of this 'History of Roman Literature' which is noticeable for useful abstracts of the writings described, and illustrations drawn from modern European literatures. He died at Edinburgh in February 1842. "People sometimes wondered how so feeble and so retired a creature could venture as a penal magistrate among the strong sailors of Greenock or the ill fed rebels of precarious Paisley; but he did his duty among them very well. (In appearance he was exceedingly like a little, old, gray cuddy) a nice kindly body, with a clear, soft Scotch voice" - Henry Cockburn. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W118
