HEPHAESTION.
H�PHAISTI�N�S ALEXANDRE�S EGCHEIRIDION PERI METR�N KAI POI�MATOS. EIS TO AUTO SCHOLIA. Hephaestionis Alexandrini Enchiridion de metris et poemate. Cum scholiis antiquis et animadversionibus Joannis Cornelii De Pauw.
Utrecht Trajecti ad Rhenum Apud Melchior. Leonardum Charlois 1726. Colophon at the end: Trajecti ad Rhenum Typis Petri Muntendam 4to. IV1887 index1 p. Half calf 21 cm Ref: STCN ppn 185828795; Hoffmann 2203; Brunet 5104; Graesse 3243; Ebert 9451 Details: Back rebacked antique style with 5 raised bands and with a red morocco shield in the second compartment. The boards are original and are covered with marbled paper. Woodcut printer's mark on the title depicting the intertwined initials of M.L. Charlois. Edges dyed red Condition: Rebacked antique style. The paper on the boards is worn. Corners bumped. Upper margin of the first 2 leaves slightly waterstained Note: The study of metrics started already in the time of the Sophists. Herodotus knew iambic trimeters and hexameters. Later the Peripatetici and the Alexandrians developed the technical vocabulary and methods to analyse the metrical structure of lyric parts of Greek tragedies and comedies. What we know of ancient metrics was handed down to us by late antique and byzantine grammarians and commentators especially by the Alexandrian scholar Hephaestion second century A.D. whose 'Enchiridion' summarizes ancient knowledge and offers examples from works now lost. With the help of Hephaestion's handbook the Dutch scholar Willem Canter Guilielmus Canterus 1542-1575 rediscovered the metrical responsion in the lyrical parts of the plays of the Greek tragedians Aeschylus Sophocles and Euripides and was able to correct the corrupted text using metrical responsion. 'Die Theorie des Hephaestion hat bis in moderne Darstellungen der Metrik hinein starke Nachwirkung gehabt'. Neue Pauly 5352 'The terms in which he speaks of the metres of Greek verse and their properties have largely remained in use until the present day'. OphuijsenJ.M. van 'Hephaestion on metre' Leiden 1987 p. 3 � Cornelis de Pauw born ca. 1680 in Utrecht was canon of the 'Sint Jan'. He was a classical scholar of some repute and published several editions of Greek and Roman authors Hephaestion Horapollo Anacreon Quintus Smyrnaeus Theophrastus's Characters Phrynichus Aeschylus. By some detractors he was considered to be an 'homme m�diocrement savant' whose ignorance was only exceeded by his impudence. He died in 1749. De Pauw tells us in the short preface that he based his edition on that of the French scholar Hadrianus Turnbebus 'quae nitidissima est' which was published in Paris in 1553. The 'editio princeps' dates from 1526 Florence. De Pauw follows Turnebus 'kata poda' and corrected only some obvious printer's errors. And as the accompanying scholia are often corrupt and displaced and donot offer enough help he decided to add his 'animadversones'.

HERBERT A. P. Sir Alan Patrick 1890 1971; Humorous poet & novelist :
Unusual to say the least autograph poem signed with initials. Undated. Two-pages folio 8 verses each of 4-lines. Fold marks a few slight edge chips.
The first leaf is headed "The Professor's Rebuke" against the layman's use of an uncouth 4-letter word for a part of the female anatomy: "The portions of a woman that appeal to Man's depravity / Are fashioned with considerable care / And what at first appears to be a simple little cavity / Is really an elaborate affair / And Doctors who have troubled to examine the phenomena / In various experimental dames / Have made a list of all the things in feminine abdomena / And given them delightful Latin names / etc. etc. another verse / Why is it then that when we common people chatter / Of the mystery to which I have refered / We use of such a delicate and complicated matter / Such a very short and unattractive word". The second leaf is headed "The Layman's Defence of his Vocabulary" the verse commencing: The Erudite and Others who have studied the geography / Of that obscure but interesting land / Are able to indulge a taste for topography / And view the scenic details close at hand / But the ordinary person though aware of the existence / Of complexities beneath that pleasant knoll / Are normally contented to survey them from a distance / And to treat them roughly speaking as a whole / etc.etc. - another 2 verses ". unknown
