Vellum 37 cm Ref: Hoffman 377/78; Ebert 16744a; Brunet 4619; Graesse 5273; not yet in VD18 Details: Back with 6 raised bands. Boards with blindstamped borders. Blindstamped floral ornament in the center of the boards. Title in red and black. Woodcut printer's mark on the title: a pegasus flying among the clouds. Text in 2 columns Greek with parallel Latin translation. The commentary is printed on the lower part of the pages. Occasional text engravings Condition: Vellum age-toned spotted and scuffed. Front joint split but strong. Rear joint starting to split. Endpapers worn and waterstained. Small blind stamp near the lower edge of the title. Paper browning occasionally severe foxing Note: The Suda a 10th century Byzantine encyclopedia knows three Greek sophists called Philostratus three generations living between 160 and 250 A.D. The first one is thought to have written most works the 'Vita Apollonii' Life of Apollonius the 'Vitae Sophistarum' Biographies of Sophists the 'Gymnastikos' the 'Heroikos' the 'Eikones' and 'Dialexeis' and a collection of 73 letters mostly love letters. Neue Pauly 9 Philostratos 5-8 In the first years of the third century Philostratus moved to Rome where he entered the court of the emperor Septimius Severius. There he wrote ca. 307 A.D. at the behest of the empress Julia Domna Augusta whose favour he enjoyed a biography of the neopythagorean ascetic and wandering philosopher and also miracle-monger Apollonius of Tyana. Few books have over a long period of time aroused so much upheaval among Christians as this biography. Apollonius was born in the year when Jesus Christ is supposed to be born. It is almost impossible to reveal Apollonius' true identity or to decide whether this is a biography of a real or fictionalized hero or just an Heliodoran romance or a romantic hagiography or even a documentary romance. The question can be dealt from so many angles that the Philostratean studies constitute a separate branch in the research of the culture of the Early Roman Empire. The problem is 'that Philostratus as a man of letters and sophist full of passion for Greek romance and for the studies in rhetoric was hardly interested in the historical Apollonius'. DzielskaM. 'Apollonius of Tyana in legend and history' Rome 1986 p. 14 A fact is that contemporary sources reveal next to nothing about Apollonius. 'To satisfy the empress's demand who asked him Philostratus to narrate the life and achievements of Apollonius he had to invent this figure as it were anew. Thus using his literary imagination this moderately gifted writer turned a modest Cappadocian mystic into an impressive figure full of life politically outstanding and yet also preposterous'. Op. cit. p. 14 Nothing proves that the 'Vita Apollonii Tyanensis' was widely read in the 3rd century. It would probably not have survived were it not for the gouvernor of Bithynia Sossianus Hierocles one of the inspirators of the persecution of the Christians at the beginning of the third century in his province under the emperor Diocletian. At the beginning of the 4th century he published his 'Philaletes' a treatise against Christianity in which he ridiculed the divine attributes of Christ and praised Apollonius' virtues and thaumaturgic abilities. In the 'Philaletes' Hierocles propagated his pagan Christ Apollonius. The Christians were furiously enraged because Hierocles dared to contrast Apollonius with their Saviour. The Christians won under Constantine and the 'Philaletes' vanished soon from the face of earth. It is only known through the 'Against Hierocles' a treatise of the Churchfather Eusebius. The 'Vita Apollonii Tyanensis' in which it was believed that Apollonius was presented as the equal if not the superior of Christ survived however the burning of pagan literature by Christian mobs in early christianity. The 'Vitae Sophistarum' is a collection of biographies of 59 Greek sophists of the so-called Second or New Sophistic. Philostratus consulted their works but used also the oral tradition. This work is a valuable source for the history of philosophy from Nero to the beginning of the third century. The 'Gymnastikos' is a treatise on Greek athletics. In the 'Heroikos' the ghosts of Heroes especially Protesilaos tell remarkable particulars about themselves. The 'Imagines' the description of paintings of Philostratus and the 'Descriptio statuarum' the description of statues written by Callistratus belong to the rhetorical genre of 'ecphrasis' in which the relation of the verbal and visual was explored. Ancient Greek rhetoricians defined it as a 'speech that brings the thing shown vividly before the eyes' for instance the famous description of the Shield of Achilles by Homer in the 18th book of the Iliad vs. 478/608. 'In modern criticism ecphrasis has come to be defined as the 'description of a work of art a category that may be restricted to the visual arts painting and sculpture or expanded to include architecture and other arts'. The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 291 s.v. Ecphrasis § The German theologian and classical scholar Gottfried Olearius 1672 - 1715 was appointed professor of Greek and Latin at the University of Leipzig in 1699. In 1693 he started a journey which brought him to Oxford and Cambridge where he stayed for more than a year to study Greek manuscripts. ADB 24 277/78; he has also a lemma in Wikipedia Provenance: At the lower edge of the title a blind imprint of a small oval stamp in the center of which an imperial eagle. The legend reads: 'empire francais zuiderzée decret du . vrier 181'. Napoleon annexed in 1810 the Netherlands into the French empire. The provinces North Holland and Utrecht were transformed into the 'Département Zuiderzée'. The legend probably refers to the 'decret du 5 février 1810' decree of the 5th february 1810 in which Napoleon regulated the booktrade.

Upper & lower part of the front joint split over 4 and 6 cm. Tiny bump in front board. Small stamp on the title. Small hole in the text of leaf 2A2 Note: This edition is the 'editio princeps' of 248 letters of the great Byzantine scholar Photius ca. 810 - ca. 893 who was Patriarch of Constantinople from 858 to 867 and from 877 to 886. He was the leader of the Byzantine Renaissance and left works of immense value. The most important is the 'Bibliotheka' a critical bibliography of 280 works with his comments. Gibbon said that it was a living monument of erudition and acute criticism. This work is often the best and only source of notable works now lost. Photius also compiled a 'Lexikon' a glossary drawing upon earlier lexicographic works. The 'Mystagogia' is a theological work treating the Trinity. The 'Amphilochia' or 'Quaestiones ad Amphilochium' concerns ca. 300 catechetical question-and-answer discussions of religion and philosophy. § The surviving letters of Photius 298 or 299 were written between 859 and 886 i.e. from the beginning till the end of his Patriachy. They show the same acute criticism and learning as his other works. It is thought that there were two collections of letters during Photius' lifetime. The first contained the letters 1-248 and was compiled ca. 875. The second corpus contained the letters 1-283 and it dated from ca. 886. The first collection 1-248 was first published in 1651 with a Latin translation and notes by the well known English Greek scholar Richard Montagu bishop of Norwich 1577-1641 from a manuscript in the Bodleian Library. At the end have been added 5 letters with a translation from a manuscript brought to England by Chr. Ravius. Montagu's first fruit was an edition of the Invectives of Gregorius Nazianzenus against the emperor Julianus Apostata which was published in 1610 Provenance: Coat of arms on boards: a shield with 2 eagles and 2 griffins in the quarters flanked by 2 collared and lined greyhounds standing on the hindlegs. Above the shield a ducal coronet left of the crown a bishop's mitre on the right a crosier.
