MUNSTER, SEBASTIAN.
Tabula Europae IX. Thraciae Civitates.
Henri Petri, Basilea, 1541 – 1545. Carta geografica tratta dalla “Geographia Universalis Vetus et Nova Complectens”, edita da H. Petri (realizzata a cura di B. Pirckheimer, Tip. H. Petrum). Incisione su legno, cm 31 x 40 circa (il foglio poiché non è visibile la battuta della lastra). Tavola tolemaica in posizione trapezoidale, inserita nella “Geographia” di Tolomeo e ripresa nell'edizione dello stesso Munster e in alcune edizioni della “Geographia” di Strabone. Titolo in alto, al centro, extramargine, “Tabula Europae IX”; al verso, in grande riquadro riccamente incorniciato da putti alati e festoni, il titolo “Nona Europae Tabula” e la numerazione 11 della pagina, testo latino; margine graduato su tutto il perimetro, senza scale grafiche e senza reticolato. Questa carta fu stampata nel 1541, 1542 e 1545; probabilmente poi nel 1552 e nel 1571; tutte le edizioni furono realizzate a Basilea. Alla sinistra del foglio, in basso, in piccolo riquadro, “Urbes Mysie Superioris”, in un secondo piccolo riquadro, a fianco del primo, più basso e più centrale, “Civitates Daciae”, alla metà del foglio, sulla destra, in piccolo riquadro “Thraciae Civitates”. L'orografia della tavola è rappresentata da coni di talpa (spesso a doppia sommità e con il tratteggio a sinistra), l'idrografia con una doppia riga a decorso arbitrario, la superficie dei mari è tratteggiata; i centri sono indicati con casette; vi sono alcuni limiti territoriali. Molti sono gli errori relativi al territorio. Sebastian Münster (1488 - 1552) è stato uno dei più importanti cartografi tedeschi del secolo XVI. La sua Cosmographia, edita a Basilea nel 1544, rappresenta la prima descrizione tedesca del mondo intero e l’opera principale, dopo la “Cronaca di Norimberga” del 1493, nella rinascita degli studi geografici del XVI secolo in Europa. Titolo e concetto si riallaciano all'opera di Tolomeo, con lo scopo di descrivere tutto il mondo, anche l'America appena scoperta. Münster aveva visitato diversi dei luoghi descritti durante i suoi viaggi, per altri dovette ricorrere a fonti di seconda mano che raccoglieva assiduamente. La “Cosmographia” conteneva non solo le ultime mappe e vedute di tutte le città più famose, ma anche una serie di notizie enciclopediche di dettagli relative al mondo conosciuto e sconosciuto. Dopo la sua morte nel 1552, il figlio Henri Petri continuò la pubblicazione dell’opera. Complessivamente, sono apparse circa 40 edizioni della Cosmographia tra il 1544 e il 1628. Foglio in bella impressione e in buono stato di conservazione.

Muntz Charles E.
Diodorus Siculus and the World of the Late Roman Republic
8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.310. offers a fresh look at one of the most neglected historians of the ancient world and recovers Diodorus originality and importance as a witness to one of the most tumultuous periods in antiquity. Muntz analyzes the first three books of Diodorus, which cover barbarian ethnography, myth, and early history and contain the most varied and eclectic material in his work. He shows how Diodorus defines the physical, political, and cultural boundaries of the late Roman Republic in these books and uses them to map out future possibilities for the Romans. Diodorus reveals through the history, myths, and customs of the barbarians the secrets of successful states and rulers, and contributes to the debates surrounding the transition from Republic to Empire. Muntz establishes just how linked the barbarians of the Bibliotheke are to the crumbling Republic and demonstrates that through the medium of the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Indians, and others Diodorus engages with major issues and intellectual disputes of his time, including the origins of civilization, the propriety of ruler-cult, the benefits of monarchy, and the relationship of myth and history. Diodorus has many similarities with other authors writing on these topics, including Cicero, Lucretius, Varro, Sallust, and Livy. But, as Muntz argues, engaging with such controversial issues, even indirectly, could be dangerous for a Greek provincial such as Diodorus, and he may never have completed or fully published his bilbiotheke in his lifetime.

MUSEE LE GRAMMAIRIEN
Les amours de Lé andre et de Hé ro, poè me de MUSEE LE GRAMMAIRIEN, traduit en Franç ais, avec le texte grec, la version latine, des notes critiques, & un index, par J.B. GAIL ...
Chez Gail Paris 1796 Grand in-8 ( 280 X 180 mm ) de VIII-68 pages, demi-basane fauve granitée, dos lisse avec pièce de tutre de basane noisette ( Reliure postérieure ). Edition originale de la meilleure traduction de cette oeuvre. Bel exemplaire, pur et non rogné.Il sagit des «Amours de Léandre et de Héro» ( «Ta kath Hêrô kai Leandron» ) *, poème de trois cent quarante vers, petit chef-dœuvre hellénistique qui se ressent de lépoque de décadence, et que Hermann Köchly définit comme «la dernière rose du jardin déclinant des lettres grecques»**. En effet, si un ton quelquefois simple, naïf et touchant élève ce poème jusquà ceux des anciens Grecs, ces peintres si vrais de la Nature, trop souvent aussi des images usées, des expressions rebattues et lérudition mise à la place du sentiment décèlent une composition du IVe-Ve siècle.Le lecteur connaît peut-être le sujet des «Amours de Léandre et de Héro». Léandre, jeune Grec dAbydos, était aimé de Héro, prêtresse à Sestos, ville placée en face dAbydos, sur les bords de lHellespont***. Pour aller voir Héro, Léandre traversait tous les soirs lHellespont à la nage un flambeau allumé par elle sur une tour élevée lui servait de phare. Léandre se noya pendant une tempête, et fut jeté par la mer au pied de la tour de Héro qui, le reconnaissant le lendemain matin, se précipita du haut de cet édifice, et se tua ainsi auprès de son amant. Tel est, en sa primitive simplicité, le fait divers sur lequel un poète nommé Musée et surnommé le Grammairien**** construisit son poème. Tel est aussi le fait divers auquel fait allusion cette jolie épigramme de Martial*****, si bien traduite par Voltaire:«Léandre conduit par lAmourEn nageant disait aux orages:Laissez-moi gagner les rivages,Ne me noyez quà mon retour»******.Il nexiste pas moins de dix traductions françaises des «Amours de Léandre et de Héro», mais sil fallait nen choisir quune seule, je choisirais celle de Jean-Baptiste Gail.
