‎Io. Ernest. Imman. Walchii De arte critica veterum Romanorum liber. Editio secunda auctior et emendatior.‎

‎Jena Ienae Sumtu Io. Christoph. Straussii 1757. 8vo. VIII23611 index1 blank p. Vellum 17.5 cm Ref: VD18 10328696 Details: Manuscript title on the back. Woodcut printer's mark on the title with the initials J.C.S. on a baroque escutcheon that leans against a bush Condition: Vellum age-tanned. Small name on the front flyleaf. Paper yellowing Note: Johannes Ernst Immanuel Walch 1725-1778 studied classical and semitic languages at the University of Jena and also natural science and mathematics. In 1750 be was appointed professor extraordinarius of theology and in 1755 he became professor ordinarius of logic and metaphysics. In 1759 he exchanged this chair for a professorship of rhetoric and poetry. His main interest as a classical scholar was the exegese of the New Testament. As was the custom of his time the professor Eloquentiae published a number of short 'programmata'. Noteworthy are his 3 volume 'In Acta Apostolorum Dissertationes' 1756 1759 1761 and his posthumously published Observationes in Matthaeum ex Graecis inscriptionibus 1779 In these works he tries to determine the meaning of the Greek of the New Testament using profane sources and above all inscriptions.To promote the study of Greek philology he published in 1763 an Introductio in linguam graecam a useful encyclopedia of Greek philology which offered a survey of the sources of the Greek language and an outline of the history of Greek literature. § The book here on offer is announced on the title as second edition. Walch himself tells about the history of the 'first edition' in the preface. This first edition consisted he tells in reality of 3 dissertations on the 'ars critica' published between 1747 and 1750. The dissertations were defended by his students 'more academico' but were in reality written by himself. The first dissertation of 1747 Dissertatio de ortu et progressu artis criticae apud veteres romanos was defended by one Johannes Gottlieb Oleario. When Walch noticed that this dissertation met with some success he wrote in 1749 another dissertation on this subject Diatribe de arte critica veterum romanorum' which was defended 'praeside M. Io. Ernesto Immanueli Walchio' by one Fridericus Fürchtenicht and in 1750 one Johannes Fridericus Thauer defended Walch's Diatribe posterior de arte critica veterum romanorum. The second edition of 1757 is he says an updated adaptation and revision of these three dissertations. Praefatio p. 4 recto & verso In Lebensgeschichte des Joh. Ernst Immanuel Walch Jena 1780 these 3 treatises are numbered among his own 'Akademische Disputationen'. Walch's De arte critica has been examined recently at an online platform of scholarly German publications 'Fachpublikation' by Prof. Dr. Fee-Alexandra Haase: 'Kunst der Kritik´ ars critica ist in der Aufklärung eine Bezeichnung für eine Methode der Textbearbeitung in der Philologie und Grammatik. Der Begriff wird für die Bezeichnung der antiken Rhetorik bei der Darstellung von Quintilian und zur Beschreibung von Methoden und Formen von Texten zur Umschreibung des praktischen Anwendungsbereichs der Rhetorik in der Kritik von Kunst und Literatur in Staatsschriften eingesetzt. In diesen Schriften wird von Autoren nach den Disziplinen Philologie und Geschichtsschreibung ein Ideal von Kritikern dargestellt die als Vertreter einer Kunst der Kritik ars critica Anteil an verschiedenen Disziplinen haben. Das Bild ist noch in Johann Ernst Immanuel Walchs Schrift De arte critica veterum Romanorum aus dem 17. Jahrhunderts durch die Übernahme von dessen Anweisungen zur Rednerausbildung in der Institutio Oratoria geprägt. Quintilian repräsentiert für Walch die Personalunion von Rhetoriker Kritiker und Grammatiker und wird neben anderen Vertretern als ein Gewährsmann für Lehren in den Fächern Rhetorik Dichtung und Kunst der Kritik ars critica herangezogen. Eine Gliederung dieser ´Kunst der Kritik´ ars critica in drei Disziplinen legt Walch zugrunde. So verwendet Walch die Dreiteilung von Kritik in die Bereiche der Anwendung in der Philosophie Geschichte und Grammatik. Als Vertreter der Disziplinen aus der antiken Kunst der Kritik ars critica dienen ihm Homer Aristoteles und die in platonischen Schriften dargestellten Personen Kratylos Gorgias Ion und Sokrates. Neben dieser Definition des Gegenstands für den Bereich der Kritik bestimmt er als philologische Aufgaben der Kunst der Kritik die Verbesserung emendatio von falschen Textstellen und die Auslegung interpretatio eines Textes. Als Bestandteile der Literaturkritik führt Walch das Wissen richtig zu sprechen recte loquendi scientia und die dichterische Erzählung narratio poetarum an. Eine Aufgabe der Kritik critica ist die Deutung der Dichter interpretatio poetarum. So bemerkt Walch daß die Kritik zu den Aufgaben der Rhetorik gehört und Rhetoriker wie Dionysius Halicarnassus und Isokrates für die Leistungen der angewandten Methoden der Kritik beispielhaft sind. Für die Methode des rechtmäßigen Schreibens mit dem Begriff Verfahren des rechten Schreibens recte scribendi ratio beruft er sich auf Quintilian der diese Fähigkeit als Quelle des Urteils mit dem Begriff Urteil iudicium betrachtet. Walch weist mittels des historischen Beispiels Quintilians darauf hin daß der Kritiker criticus und der Grammatiker grammaticus identisch sein können. Als Beispiel dieser Personalunion dient ihm Quintilian der nicht nur die Vorschriften für das gute Reden bene dicendi sondern auch die Methoden der Erregung von Affekten ratio concitandorum affectuum beherrschte. Als Arten und Gebrauch von Sentenzen genera et usus sententiarum werden die Erfindung inventio propositionum und die Art und Weise des Lesens und Nachahmens von Literatur legendi atque imitandi modus vermittelt. Ein Beispiel für die Anwendung einer Kunst der Kritik ars critica als philologische Kritik an Texten im 18. Jahrhundert ist Johannes Ernst Immanuel Walch. Einen Bereich der Anwendung von Kritik repräsentiert im Jahre 1757 ein Werk von Ernst Immanuel Walch das mit der Terminologie der Kritik für Kunst und Literaturgeschichtsschreibung als ein historisch-kritischer Kommentar zu den Quellen konzipiert ist' Fee-Alexandra Haase § In chapter 38 of his Prolegomena ad Homerum 1795 Friedrich August Wolf numbers Walch in a note on the history of grammar and criticism among the scholars who 'historiam grammaticae et criticae docte persequuntur'. Prolegomena p. CLXXI. A third edition was published in 1771. This third edition is however exactly the same as the second edition. We compared both editions and must conclude that only the title and the date of the last leaf of the praefatio were changed. So the edition of 1757 was not really a success. Provenance: On the front flyleaf the name: 'M. Boas Apr. 1904'. This is Marcus Boas 19 Juni 1879 Amsterdam 6 Mei 1942. One of his teachers at the Stedelijk Gymnasium of Amsterdam was the Latinist IJ.H. Rogge who stimulated him to study classics. His professors in Amsterdam were Naber later Kuiper and Karsten. He obtained in 1905 his doctorate with a cum laude dissertation De Epigrammatis Simonideis. He continued his studies in Bonn under Solmsen Brinkmann and Loeschke. In 1906 he met Prof. Vollmer who advised him 'Machen Sie den Cato' to concentrate on the Disticha Catonis. The study of this Latin collection of proverbial wisdom and morality by an unknown late antique 3rd or 4th century author called Dionysius Cato which was the most popular medieval schoolbook for teaching Latin became his lifelong fascination. 'Jaarboek van de Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde te Leiden 1946-1947' Leiden 1948 p. 21/23 Disticha Catonis recensuit et apparatu critico instruxit Marcus Boas 1952.

This is a reprint in one volume of the complete collection of weekly issues of The Original Nos.1-29 from Wednesday May 20 1835 to Wednesday December 2 1835. Wiener 320Goldsmiths 29369. The Original was a lively unillustrated weekly 16-page miscellany though its first issue comprised 12 pages and its last just four it ran from May 20 1835 to December 2 1835 for 29 numbers coming out every Wednesday. The Original was directed mainly towards the male upper middle classes “aloof from sect and party" concerned as its “Preliminary Address” states with “whatever is most interesting and important in Religion and Politics in Morals and Manners and in our Habits and Customs” leavened with anecdotes and autobiography in an attempt to raise “the national tone in whatever concerns us socially or individually”. It was written entirely by Thomas Walker the son of a Manchester manufacturer and Whig reformer. Walker was born in 1784 gained his B.A. and M.A. from Trinity College Cambridge in 1808 and 1811 respectively and was called to the bar in 1812. In 1829 he became a police magistrate in Lambeth court. Six years later he began The Original for he claimed two reasons. Firstly it would provide “a constant and interesting stimulus to my faculties of observation and reflection” and secondly it would provide for the reader “an alternative diet of sound and comfortable doctrines blended with innoxious amusement.”.
