Calf 33 cm Ref: STCN ppn 171376293; Geerebaert 1375II; OiN p. 359; Schweiger 21028 Details: Back gilt and with 6 raised bands. Boards with double fillet gilt borders. Title in red & black. Woodcut printer's mark on the title depicting Ceres and Flora under a palmtree Boom means tree; the banner at their feet reads: I.V.S. A.W. H.D.B. which means: 'Johannes Van Someren Abraham Wolfgangk Hendrik en Dirk Boom'. Woodcut initials. 14 magnificent full-page portraits of Roman emperors engraved by A. Vaillandt and 8 double-page battle and rural scenes engraved by I. Mulder Condition: Binding scuffed and scratched. Back rubbed and damaged at the head and tail. Corners bumped. Front pastedown stained slightly damaged and with a bookplate. Faint name on the front flyleaf small hole in somewhat soiled front flyleaf. Interior fine Note: The Dutch Renaissancist poet playwright and historian Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft 1581-1647 may be considered the founder of the literature of Holland's Golden Age. His style is not easily accessible and often shows a sentence structure derived from Latin. Around 1630 he started with his translation into Dutch of the works of the Roman historian Tacitus 56-117 A.D. These translations of the 'Annales' 'Historiae' 'Germania' and the 'Agricola' were posthumely published in 1684 by his able biographer Geeraert Brandt 1626-1685. Hooft in who the genius of Tacitus had arisen according to Brandt was not satisfied with the previously published translations and decided to make a translation of his own which suited the style of the Roman historian better. Hooft however never found time to publish his translation. In the preface Brandt tells that the manuscript with the translations came into his hands by chance long after the death of Hooft. He then decided to rescue them from oblivion and to publish them more than 50 years after Hooft had begun to translate Tacitus. In the same year the firm of Boom brought also a cheaper and smaller quarto-edition on the market. According to Geerebaert this folio-edition was printed first Provenance: On the front pastedown a woodcut bookplate of J.J.A. Poley and F. Poley-Scheele made by the Dutch graphic artist Johan Melse See: Johan Schwencke in 'Den Gulden Winckel 31 1932 p. 29-30 Johannes Adriaan Poleij 1889-1951 married Francina Scheele born 1891 in 1915 in the Dutch city of Goes Collation: a-c4 d-g2; A-3N-4 3O-6 3P-3S4 3T6 3V-3X4; A-S2 leaf S2 verso blank Photographs on request Heavy book may require extra shipping costs hardcover‎

Overlapping vellum 13 cm Ref: STCN ppn 833597485; Willems 415: 'l'édition est fort belle et très recherchée'. Berghman 2145; Rahir 403; Copinger 4630; Schweiger 21001/1002: 'Sehr niedlicher Abdruck des Textes nach Lipsius'; Moss 2643; Brunet 5634; Graesse 6/2 9: 'Édition très jolie'; Ebert 22157 Details: 5 thongs laced through the joints. Nice title engraved by C.C. Duysent depicting the river god Tiberinus who sits at the border of the Tiber and holds in his arms a big jar from which water flows and a cornucopia; behind him stands a woman who has a mirror in her hand. At the end of the preliminary pages a plate also engraved by Duysent showing within an oval frame 3 portraits of Tiberius Augustus and his wife Livia. Clear typography. Latin text only no commentary or notes Condition: Vellum age-tanned a bit soiled and slightly scuffed. Occasionally a small number has been written in ink in the margins Note: The Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus offered ammunition for many intellectual and political battles in 16th and 17th century Europe. The turmoil caused by the emerging new monarchies in England France en Spain civil and religious wars in Italy and Germany and the plague made Tacitus' account of the state of the early Roman Empire increasingly topical and relevant. The debate Tacitus provoked in intellectual circles was of course on Roman history but also on literary style in Latin and the vernacular but more so on historical and political thought. Tacitus ideas were not original but he brought them in a forceful lapidary way oneliners ready for the use in debate. Tacitus became in a corrupted world 'the one true guide for those involved in the awful revolution of modern times: he 'teaches well the mode of life under tyrants just as he teaches tyrants how to establish tyranny''. 'The Classical Tradition' Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 921 The French humanist scholar Muretus Marc Antoine Muret 1526-1585 declared that 'Tacitus' descriptions of lost liberty failed revolutions vicious civil wars and mad emperors amounted to a theater of our time'. Op. cit. ibid. § The Flemish latinist Justus Lipsius 1547-1606 one of the most learned men of his day was invited in 1579 to come to Leiden to the recently founded university as a Honorary Professor of History. At that date he already had produced his great Tacitus-edition published by Plantin a work that placed and still places him in the front rank of classical scholarship. Antwerp 1574 His main strength lay in textual criticsm and in exegesis. His emendations are considered to be very clever and his commentary rich. Plantin published a second edition in 1581 with new emendations and variae lectiones. Lipsius's third edition Antwerp 1585 offered a new recension. The fourth edition was published by the son in law of Plantin Franciscus Raphelengius in Leiden in 1588. Lipsius remained in Leiden for 11 years a period of his greatest productivity. Lipsius praised Tacitus as a teacher of vital political lessons. In his 'Politics' 'Politicorum sive Civilis doctrinae libri sex' 1589 'a brilliant textbook in mosaic form composed of passages from the ancients far more of them taken from Tacitus than from any other source- Lipsius showed how to make a version of Tacitus' analysis of empire fit the practical needs of the modern governing classes'. Op. cit. ibid. At the University of Leiden the intellectual powerhouse of the new Dutch Republic 'dozens of young intellectuals busied themselves in what they called the study of 'politics'. They studied and summarized in pointed abrupt witty Latin theses the Tacitean lessons about absolute monarchy'. Op. cit. 922 By reading Tacitus' 'Annals' and 'Histories' the student could learn what constructive role the members of the social elite could play in the creation of a political and military system. Dutch students found ammunition especially in Tacitus' 'Germania' a detailed description of the peoples in Germany and the Low Countries. To show that the new Dutch Republic founded in 1588 'rested on solid historical foundations they turned to Tacitus who made clear that their ancestors the Batavi had resisted the tyranny of Rome just as the modern citizens of Holland and Zeeland resisted that of Spain'.

‎C. Cornelius Tacitus accurante Matthia Berneggero.‎

‎Strassburg Argentorati Ediderunt Haeredes Lazari Zezneri 1638. 8vo. XVIII11231 blank p. Vellum 17.5 cm Ref: VD17 23:249104Z; Schweiger 21002; Dibdin 2452; Moss 2643; Graesse 6/2 9; Fabricius/ Ernesti 2398 Details: Fine contemporary vellum. 6 thongs laced through the joints. Engraved title depicting an altar left of which stands a Roman emperor right a German warrior; on the surface of the altar the text 'Aeternitati' for Eternity; just above the altar hangs the globe upon which stands an eagle with spread wings. This scene seems a combination of two Roman coins. It was perhaps made after the verso side of a coin struck by Constantine the Great in Trier in 321 A.D.; on this coin there is however no eagle; a scene consisting of a globe on which an eagle stands is to be seen on a denarius of Caracalla struck after 217 A.D.; this old eagle-and-globe symbol adorns since 1883 the escutcheon of the United States Marine Corps. This frontispiece is purely propagandistic in its presentation. It depicts not so much the struggle between the Romans and the German tribes that Tacitus tells about. It rather symbolizes the claim of the Holy Roman Empire Sacrum Romanum Imperium Heiliges Römisches Reich that it was the legitimate successor 'for eternity' of the Roman Empire. The imperial banner of the Holy Roman Empire depicted a black eagle Condition: A bookplate has been pasted on the front pastedown. A small piece of the blank margin of preliminary leaf a8 has been torn off without loss of text and was not successfully repaired.

Op. cit. ibid. § The editor of this Tacitus edition the German classical scholar Matthias Bernegger 1582-1640 was the founder of the School of Roman history at Strassburg where a protestant university was founded in 1621. The model of this school was the Flemish editor of Tacitus Justus Lipsius 1547-1606 who was one of the most learned men of his day. His great Tacitus editions placed and still places him in the front rank of classical scholarship. This Tacitus edition of Bernegger includes 'many excellent notes and emendations due to his pupil and son-in-law Johannes Casper Freinsheim 1608-1660 the foremost representative of this school'. SandysJ.E. 'A History of Classical Scholarship' N.Y. 1964 p. 367 The edition offers also a 144 page treatise 'Ioannis Freinshemii expositio locorum cornelianorum intactorum interpretibus aut secus acceptorum' and an elaborate and exemplary 272 page 'Index in Tacitum confectus industria et labore Melchiore Freinshemii'. § Lipsius praised Tacitus as a teacher of vital political lessons. In his Politica Politicorum sive Civilis doctrinae libri sex 1589 'a brilliant textbook in mosaic form composed of passages from the ancients far more of them taken from Tacitus than from any other source- Lipsius showed how to make a version of Tacitus' analysis of empire fit the practical needs of the modern governing classes'. The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 921 Bernegger professor of History from 1613 till his death in 1640 produced a revised and augmented edition of Lipsius' Politica which was published posthumously in Strassburg in 1642. It saw several reissues in that city and in Frankfurt. Bernegger was from his appointment in Strassburg in 1613 the starting point of the so-called Lipsian tradition an historic-political school of thought in late humanist philology which exercised well into the 18th century influence on the German protestant universities of Jena Altorf Marburg and Strassburg 'Justus Lipsius Politica: Six Books of Politics Or Political Instruction' Edited with translation and introduction by J. Waszink Assen 2004 p. 194/95 Bernegger lectured on Lipsius' Politica and like Lipsius he considered Tacitus' view on politics the best guiding principle leading to 'prudentia' in the turmoil of his time Provenance: On the front pastedown a bookplate: 'Ex libris Bibliothecarii Paul Scherrer - Bylund' with the text: 'Vita fluit pilumque ferit rapidum tamen astra lucent in tenebris clarius atque manent' and also its translation: 'Unser Leben verrint und Pfeile verwunden doch immer leuchten je dunkler es wird heller die Sterne für uns'.

Accompanied by a TLS from Martha Taft's long-time assistant Darrah Dunham Wunder 1p 6" X 7½" Cincinnati OH 1955 January 30. Addressed to Gerald L. Arnholt. Near fine. Mrs. Taft suffered a paralyzing stroke in 1949 leaving only her right arm without paralysis; Wunder moved in with the family to help tend to her. In this moving letter to an admirer she recounts the situation and this photograph. In part: "Mrs. Taft is still too ill to write letters. She did manage to sign her name to the photograph of the Senator I am sending you. I also had young Bob autograph it up in the left hand corner. You may remember that Bob Jr. is in the Ohio Legislature having been elected last Fall. He ran 3600 votes ahead of the ticket although it was the first time he had ever been a candidate. Mrs. Taft had a gall bladder operation last September and her recovery is very slow. She now sits up for an hour or two a day but is far from well. We all appreciate the high tribute you pay Senator Taft. He was a wonderful person and it is very difficult to be reconciled to his loss." Signed in full. A most unusual and uncommon portrait -- quite scarce in itself even unsigned as an original Karsh print -- made even more unusual by the signatures of Taft's wife and son. A delightful piece of Ohio history. unknown‎
