A Paris chez Antoine de Sommaville 1661. in-8. 24 feuillets Titre Epistre Discours Sommaire. 538 pages. 6 feuillets. 145x85cm. Plein veau. Dos à nerfs orné. Cuir très frotté. Accidents au dos. Coins émoussés. Très bon état intérieur. Très bon état intérieur. Note manuscrite en page de titre : "De la bibliothèque de Mr Pellot premier président du parlement de Normandie". La Cyropédie est une grosse biographie - 300 pages - "en partie fictive" du souverain perse Cyrus II par Xénophon. Le titre latinisé Cyropaedia dérive du grec ancien Kúrou paideía signifiant "LÉducation de Cyrus". Aulu-Gelle rapporte dans ses Nuits Attiques que les deux premiers Livres de La République de Platon furent dabord édités seuls et que Xénophon y opposa la Cyropédie. La Cyropédie a été imitée au Moyen Age comme modèle du genre miroirs des princes. Elle a influencé Machiavel qui rejetait cependant le modèle médiéval. La Cyropédie comme Le Prince n'était pas toutefois nécessairement destinée à décrire le gouvernant idéal. En substance la Cyropédie décrit "léducation du dirigeant idéal entrainé pour gouverner ses sujets admiratifs et consentants comme un despote bienveillant".

Very rare first edition of this translation of reference by Mr. Dacier 430 BC/-401 BC. Athens Xenophon was a philosopher and a military leader of ancient Greece born in Erchia near Athens around 430 BC and died around 355 BC In addition to the Anabasis he wrote a sequel to the history of the war of the Peloponnesus of Thucydides called Les Helléniques. His historical work is impartial according to Lucien of Samosata one of the authors that Xenophon has inspired native of the deme of Erchia in Attica Xenophon is son of Gryllos. His date of birth is discussed: the approximate date of 430 BC is based on the indication that he was a young man at the beginning of the Anabasis. Some authors propose more specific dates. E. Delebecque offers the date of 426 BC corresponding to the minimum age to participate in the Athenian expedition in Lesvos in 428 BC/427 BC according to historian Claude Mossé. Born into a wealthy aristocratic family he attended the Sophists including Prodicus in Thebes; Disciple of Socrates he portrays his master as a man more interested in morality and logic than by metaphysics as this appears in the apology of Socrates the memorable and the Banquet he became a pupil of Socrates. Penetrated with oligarchic ideas he is hostile to the restoration of democracy after the tyranny of Trente; in the midst of the Socratic he doesn't get along with Aristippus or Plato who he accused to add their ideas to those of Socrates. According to Photios Xenophon was a student of Isocrates. Only one appearance at auction since publication. Intricate head pieces. . Chez Les Frères Debure & Moutard Imprimeur-Libraire hardcover
A Paris pour Jean Longis 1547. 4to. 8 leaves. 172 numbered leaves. Half-cloth of the 19th century. First Edition of the first French translation of the Cyropedia a romanticized biography of the Persian King Cyrus in which Xenophon describes the education of the ideal Prince. This translation was performed by the French hellenist and magistrate of Greek origin Jacques de Vintemille 1512-1582 who was an interesting character of the French letters of his time. Born in the Greek island of Rhodes from an Italian aristocrat and a rich heir of the Palélogues the dynasty of the last emperors of Constantinopel Jacques de Vintemille saw his fortune change brutally when the Turkish invaded the island and his father lost his life in 1522. He was then taken to France by the rich family of Vauzelles who gave him an excellent humanist education. Vintimille would soon demonstrate his remarkable skills for the Greek language which led Francis I of France to ask him to make the translation of the present work his first printed production. Small angular window cut out in the blank of the title page slightly affecting the edge of a few letters. Otherwise a good copy in a modest 19th century binding. hardcover
