‎Utrecht Trajecti ad Rhenum Apud A. van Paddenburg & J.M. van Vloten n.d. 1783. Colophon: 'Literis Reersianis 1783' Folio. 27 double-page stemmata; 4 leaves. Modern boards. 41 cm Ref: 195447107 Condition: Tasteless modern binding. The back is soiled and on it is written 'stemmata regum'. Book plate on the front pastedown. Small piece at the tip of the upper corner of the last leaf torn off Note: The German classical scholar Christoph Gottlob Sachse 1714-1806 or Christophorus Saxius came in 1735 to Leipzig to study classical philology. In 1745/46 he made a long tour through the West of Germany and the Netherlands followed by his first big publication 'Lapidum vetustorum epigrammata' 1746. He decided to remain in the Netherlands where he became the teacher of the son of De Back the secretary to the Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic William IV and after 1751 secretary of the grandson of Caspar Burmannus in Utrecht. In 1755 Saxius was appointed professor of Rhetoric and Greek at the University of Utrecht which he remained until his death at the age of 92. He published much on epigraphy archaeology ancient history and he produced in 1778 an edition of the 'Catonis Disticha'. Useful as they were in their time they are now forgotten. He made one important contribution to scholarship his 'Onomasticon literarium sive Nomenclator praestantissimorum omnis aevi scriptorum praecipue Graecorum et Latinorum' Utrecht 1759. This biographic and bibliographic work developed into an eight volume work of reference 1775-93. It is praised by Brunet being an 'Ouvrage d'une grande utilit� pour les recherches relatives � l'histoire litt�raire'. Brunet 5175 On Saxius NNBW 8 1281/2; ADB 30 460/1 � In an epilogue called 'Lectori Historiae veteris studioso' to this edition of 1783 Saxius explains why he produced his 'Tabulae Genealogicae sive stemmata Deorum Regum Principum Virorum illustrium'. His aim is educational. He confesses that he has learned from long experience that students doze off listening to dull voices and lectures but that they revive when shown something more concrete. He condemns teachers who are not willing to explain matters with the use of maps so reducing the appetite of their pupils. The easiest way to avoid errors is to visualize and so elucidate complicated matters on tables on which all information is available in brief at one glance. Saxius used this recipe for the confusing assembly of Greek and Roman gods kings royal families peoples etc. The 27 double-page tables contain: 'Genealogiae Deorum tabula' 1 2 & 3; 'Regni Thessalici tabula' 1234 & 5; 'Regnum Argivum tabula' 123 & 4; 'Regni Spartani tabula' 1 & 2; 1 table 'Regnum Sicyonium & Regnum Messenium' 1 table 'Regnum Arcadicum' 1 table 'Regnum Elidis & Pisaeorum item Regnum Corinthiacum' 'Regni Attici tabula' 1 & 2 1 table 'Regnum Thebanum' 1 table 'Regnum Troianum' 1 table 'Mantissa stemmatum aliorum quorundam Regum tamquam Regum Iudaicorum & Isra�liticorum' 1 table 'Regum Macedoniae ante & post Alexandrum Magnum' 1 table 'Regum Aegyptiorum post Alexandrum Magnum' 1 table 'Regum Syriacorum post Alexandrum Magnum' 1 table 'Principum Hasmonaeorum' 1 table 'Stemma Herodiadum ad fidem Librorum divinorum Novi Foederis & Iosephi inprimis concinnatum' Provenance: The 'art deco' bookplate: 'Ex libris Luciani v. R�mer'. Depicted are the Roman she-wolf with Romus & Remulus. This book once belonged to the Dutch physician botanist and writer and pioneer fighter for gay rights Lucien Sophie Albert Marie von R�mer 1873-1965. He often wrote about homosexuality and argued that it was an innate characteristic. He practiced medicine in the Dutch East Indies later Indonesia in his later life. His views parallel those of psychiatrist Sigmund Freud on this topic. Lucien von R�mer was born in 1873 in Kampen Overijssel. He studied medicine at Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam and received his medical license in 1903. He went on to practice as a neurologist. Von R�mer was particularly interested in homosexuality and worked in Berlin with the prominent sexologists Magnus Hirschfeld and Albert Moll. He was a regular contributor to Hirschfeld's journal 'Jahrbuch f�r sexuelle Zwischenstufen' Journal for Sexual Transitions; his first article a profile of King Henry III of France was published in 1902. In addition to homosexuality Von R�mer also wrote for the 'Jahrbuch' about androgyny hermaphroditism and the reception of Arnold Aletrino's works. In 1908 he published an anthology of Friedrich Nietzsche's writings on homosexuality in Hirschfeld's 'Zeitschrift f�r Sexualwissenschaft'. In the same year he submitted a postdoctoral dissertation that argued that homosexuality was innate but it was rejected by the University of Amsterdam on the grounds that it was 'in conflict with morality and offensive to others'. Von R�mer left the Netherlands and joined an expedition to New Guinea as a botanist in 1910. He discovered numerous plants on the expedition some of which were named after him. He settled in the Dutch East Indies in 1913 where he worked as a public health specialist and a regional government physician. In 1921 he married Eugenie Gallois a pianist and had a son. After retiring he continued to practice psychiatry in Malang in Indonesia where he died in 1965 at the age of 92.

Condition: Prize gone. Vellum age-toned. Some small spots on the upper board. Gilt on the covers almost completely worn away. All four ties gone Note: This is an edition with commentary of the only surviving complete work of the Roman historian Cornelius Nepos ca. 100-24 B.C. 'De excellentibus ducibus exterrarum gentium'. He is the author of the first surviving ancient collection of biographies. 'De excellentibus etc.' contains the lives of 20 Greek generals and the Carthaginians Hamilkar and Hannibal. Nepos corresponded with Cicero and was close with Cicero's friend Atticus. The collection served probably as a model for Plutarch's Vitae Parallelae. In his own days and in late antiquity Nepos was considered to be a source of importance. The churchfather Hieronymus included him in his 'De viris illustribus' 392 A.D. in the list of great authors and historians. Already in late antiquity this collection was ascribed to the grammarian Aemilius Probus and the 'editio princeps' of 1471 bears his Probus' name. The simple style of writing of Nepos has made him a standard choice for schools. The biographies provided the pupils also models of behaviour. Schweiger mentions numerous editions. This edition is a socalled 'Variorum' edition an edition which contained everthing a student required. Such an edition offers the 'textus receptus' which is widely accepted accompanied with the commentary and the annotations of specialists taken from earlier useful normative or renewing editions. Editions like these 'cum notis Variorum' were useful but never broke new ground. The production of this kind of editions was the specialty of Dutch scholars of the 17th and 18th century. The compilers seldom were great scholars but often hard working schoolmasters. Such an edition was published in 1658 in Leiden by the Hackius brothers. It was produced by the young Dutch scholar R. Keuchenius 1636-1673 who matriculated in 1654 and was later in life appointed professor of Roman History at the 'Athenaeum Illustre' of Amsterdam. The edition of 1654 was revised and augmented by an anonymous editor and published in 1675 by the same Hackius brothers. The preface of Keuchenius to the edition of 1658 and the testimonia was repeated but now anonymously. The anonymous editor seems to be Keuchenius for the main body of his work and his own notes have been preserved. In a short 'ad lectorem' signed 'Keuchenius' in 1658 anonymous in 1675 the editor explains that he based his edition on those of Lambinus and Longolius and that he passim added selected observations of Gifanius Savarus Schottus Boeclerus Gebhardus Ernesti and Bosius. He also elucidated the Lives with passages from ancient Greek historians like Herodotus Thucydides Xenophon and Plutarch. The edition of 1675 became the model of a line of clones including the frontispiece and illustrations. It was reprinted verbatim line by line page by page with the same layout and the same kind of typeface by the Blaeu brothers in 1687 probably Mortier in 1704 by Janssonius van Waesberge in 1705 by Samuel Luchtmans in 1728. The frontispiece and the illustrations of the 1687 edition are however no copies but they are exactly the same as in the edition of 1675. Blaeu had perhaps come into the possession of the plates which belonged to the edition of 1675 after the death of Cornelius Hackius in 1668 and used them for this 1687 edition. He also might have hired them Collation: -28; A-2G8 leaf 2G8 verso blank Photographs on request hardcover‎

He was famous for his 'Lexicon latinae linguae antibarbarum' a dictionary of linguistic barbarisms describing how not to write in the Latin language and prescribing how it should be done correctly. The first edition dates from 1730. The famous church historian Johann Lorenz Mosheim published in 1744 a new revised edition. This edition of 1744 is one of the 97 titles of the online 'Thesaurus Eruditionis' CAMENA TERMINI at the University of Mannheim Germany. The genre of the 'Antibarbarus' was started by the humanists of the Renaissance to fight the dog Latin and barbarisms of Medieval Latin. Erasmus made the genre popular with his 'Antibarbari' 'Liber Antibarbarorum' of 1520. Having acquired the principal rules and a competent knowledge of the language the student was adviced for his grammatical studies to peruse constantly and carefully the works of Cicero and authors like Terentius Nepos and Caesar in order to absorb the structure and idiom of pure Latinity. In support of this grammatical study the student should proceed to the study of works like Noltenius' Lexicon. His Lexicon is an encyclopaedia of philological learning. � The Lexicon consists of 4 parts: 'Pars prima Orthographica; pars secunda Prosodica; pars tertia etymologica; pars quarta syntactica'; after this follows: 'Quattuor linguae latinae aetates earumque scriptores' a survey of 83 p. of the golden silver bronze and the iron age of Latin literature; at the end of this part a list of 'Latinitatis restitutores' listing modern editors who devoted their efforts 'ad hoc Augiae stabulum repurgandum'; at the end there are 143 p. filled with 3 indices an 'index auctorum' an 'index rerum' and an 'index vocabulorum et locutionum' Provenance: name on front flyleaf 'N.J.

Woodcut of two winged putti on the title Condition: Back rubbed gilt fading away. 1 lower corner bumped. Old bibliographic inscription on the verso of the front flyleaf Note: Ren� Rapin Renatus Rapinus 1621-1687 was a French Jesuit who earned his fame as a Neolatin and French poet and was called 'the second Theocritus'. Rapin also distinguished himself with his critical essays. Alongside Boileau he set forth the neo-classic canon of his age. A.F.B. Clark Boileau and the French classical critics in England 1660-1830 Paris 1925 p. 275/85. His celebrated Observations sur les po�mes d'Hom�re et de Virgile Paris 1669 earlier published in Paris as Comparaison des po�mes de Hom�re et de Virgile in 1664 3rd ed. is his best known treatise on literary criticism. It was even reprinted by Olms in 1973. This treatise is a contribution to the ongoing 17th century debate the Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes also known as the Battle of the Books which found a kick-off at the beginning of the century in Italy with an attack on the admirers of the genius of Homer. It swung over to France in 1635. The main battle was launched in 1687 by Charles Perrault. In this debate the bad and raw taste of the epics of Homer was compared with the more refined taste of Virgil and of contemporary French poets who were considered by some to be superior to the ancients. Ren� Rapin is cautious in this debate. He is not blind for the genius of Homer but admires the propriety and eloquence of Virgil more. He concludes that Homerum plus habere ingenii Virgilium plus judicii & delectus that Homer has more genius Virgil more judgement and power. The behaviour of Homeric Achilles is a danger for society whereas Aeneas is useful and glorious. The reason for Homeric brutality Rapin explains is that there was not yet any idea of moral virtue in his days. The book of Rapin quickly found an English translation which was published in London in 1670 and in 1672. The translation into Latin for the not French reading public was made by Joh. Broukhusius. The Dutch biographer J.A. Worp observes in his praefatio to Jani Broukhusii epistolae selectae Groningen 1889 p. 8: Traiecti Broukhusius edidit versionem Latinam opusculi Gallico sermone scripti a Renato Rapino. This translation was reissued in 1704 by J. Palmerus in his Apologia pro Lucano and in the Dissertationes selectae crit. de poetis graecis et latinis of I. Bergler Leiden 1707. The translator is the Dutch scholar/soldier Joan van Broekhuizen Janus Broukhusius 1649-1707 who during an adventurous life pursued his classical studies and poetry at leisure. In the same year he published his Carmina a collection of his Neolatin poetry. Utrecht 1684. His editions of Propertius 1702 and Tibullus 1707 laid the foundation for his reputation as a classical scholar. He was admired as a latinist for his taste and for his erudition.

Some slight foxing Note: The Roman poet Ovid 43 B.C. - 17 A.D 'is perhaps the most consistently influential and popular writer of the classical tradition. His central position is suggested by the many surviving manuscripts of his works and their early publication in printed editions. . Most would agree that it is his Metamorphoses that has had the greatest influence but his other major poems the Heroides Tristia Fasti and particularly his racier works the Amores Ars amatoria and Remedia amoris have played their part in maintaining his reputation as a writer of enduring importance and appeal'. The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 667 � Ovid was widely read in antiquity and remained to be read at the Carolingian court in the Middle Ages. The 12th/13th centuries are even called the 'aetas Ovidiana' for Ovid's love elegy was one of the mainsprings of the phaenomenon of courtly love and its literary expression. His 'Ars amatoria' and the 'Remedia' became even part of the school curriculum. Ovid became also the favourite poet of the Renaissance. Boccaccio and Petrarca were influenced by him. Shakespeare was inspired more by Ovid than by Vergil. Neue Pauly 9110/119 The huge number of editions and translations suggests that Ovid's appeal lies also beyond the bounderies of the scholarly and literary world. The website 'Ovid Illustrated: The Reception of Ovid's Metamorphoses in Image and Text' for example offers a huge collection of engravings that were made by 16th/17th/18th century artists for the Metamorphoses. The last fourty years have seen an increase in attention to Ovid�s poetry. � A new age 1658-1837 dawns in the textual history of Ovid's poems with the work of the famous Dutch scholar neolatin poet and diplomat Nicolaas Heinsius 1620-1681 'who after 345 year remains the central figure in any account of the editing of Ovid. No modern editor will fail to mention his name in the preface as the 'sospitator Ovidii; no 'apparatus criticus' will fail to cite his numerous contributions to the improvement of the text'. P.E. Knox ed. 'A companion to Ovid' Chichester 2013 online version Heinsius' editions of Ovid offer texts that are based on an extensive first hand knowledge of the manuscripts and that are supplemented with a full textual commentary which records and discusses 'variae lectiones' and notes alterations of the vulgate text. In making his selection from the vast mass of variants Heinsius was according to Sandys guided by a fine taste and a sound judgment acquired by long experience. Heinsius was almost exclusively an editor of Latin poets. He produced further editions of Claudianus 1650 Vergilius 1664 Prudentius 1667 and Valerius Flaccus 1680. Sandys 2323/6 � This edition of 1661 is a so-called 'Variorum' edition. Such an edition generally offers a 'textus receptus' which is widely accepted accompanied with the commentary and the annotations of various specialists taken or excerpted from earlier useful normative or renewing editions. Editions like these 'cum notis Variorum' were useful but never broke new ground. The production was the specialty of Dutch scholars of the 17th and 18th century. The compilers seldom were great scholars but often hard working schoolmasters. Their involvement in publishing a new edition was limited to the necessary. Such a plodder was the Dutch editor Cornelius Schrevelius who taught classics at the 'Schola Latina' at Leiden where he had been raised himself. In 1642 he succeeded his father Theodorus Schrevelius as the rector Moderator of the school. He raised at least 11 kids and fell in 1664 victim to the then raging plague. A.M.

‎PHILOSTRATUS.‎

‎London Printed for Nathaniel Thompson next dore to the Sign of the Cross-Keys in Fetter-Lane 1680. Folio. VIII2431 blank p. Calf 32 cm Ref: ESTC Citation No. R4123; Hoffmann 382; Ebert 16760 'Wurde verboten weil man die Noten antichristlich fand'; Graesse 5274 Details: Back with 5 raised band. Blind tooled double fillet border on both boards. Title in red and black. Woodcut text illustration which represents a diagram of the philosophic schools in antiquity Condition: Binding scuffed. Back rubbed. Joints weak partly starting to split. Boards spotted. Paper browning and foxed. Endpapers worn and browning Note: Few books have over a long period of time aroused so much upheaval among Christians as this biography of the neopythagorean ascetic and wandering philosopher Apollonius of Tyana written by the Greek sophist and rhetor Philostratus at the beginning of the 3rd century A.D. This is the first English translation of the first 2 books of 8 of this Life of Apollinius of Tyana. The translation was speedily condemned and suppressed by the Church of England because it was held to be a most dangerous attempt against the church. Only a few copies were sent abroad. Apollonius was born in the same year when Jesus Christ is supposed to be born. It is almost impossible to reveal Apollonius' true identity or to decide wether 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. Philostratus wrote the biography at the behest of the empress Julia Domna Augusta. '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'. Idem 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 in 301 A.D. 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. Translations of the 'Vita' which began to appear in the 16th century were immediately put under ecclesiastical ban. The English translation of 1680 by the leisured gentleman Charles Blount 1654-1694 a deist and freethinking philosopher and especially his notes raised such an outcry among christian believers in England that the book was condemned by the Church of England in 1693 banned and its further publication forbidden. Hoffmann observes that the stock might have been burned vielleicht verbrant. On what ground he thinks so is not clear. Still 'fierce passions were let loose. Sermons pamphlets and volumes descended upon the presumptuous Blount like fireballs and hailstones and his adversaries did not rest until the authorities had forbidden him to print the remaining six book of his translation'. R.W. Bernard 'Apollonius the Nazarene' 1956 p. 10 Blount persisted that if the miracles of Apollonius were untrue so were those of Jesus. In his preface Blount is very cautious. He presents the 'Life' as being 'no more than a bare narrative of the Life of a Philosopher not of a new Messiah'. Philostratus never even mentions Christ he says. 'And if one Heathen Writer Hierocles did make an ill use of this History by comparing Apollonius with Christ what is that to Philostratus who never meant nor design'd it so'. Preface p. A2 verso Blount had already finished the translation of all 8 books he tells the reader 'when I found the Alarm was given in all parts what a Dangerous Book was coming out; . which might therefore prove of pernicious consequence of the Publick'. He fears for his life he says and therefore publishes only the first 2 books. 'I have thought fit to proroque the remaining part of this history'. p. A3 verso Especially Blount's very elaborate illustrations and annotations to the text were considered to be dangerous atheist freethinking. A century later Blount's notes were translated into French and published in Amsterdam in 1779. It was ironically dedicated to Pope Clement XIV by one 'Philaletes' Collation: A-Z4 Aa-Gg4 H6 Photographs on request Heavy book may require extra shipping costs hardcover‎

All 4 ties gone Note: 'One of the most widely read and influential of Roman historians along with Caesar Livy and Tacitus Sallust 86-34 BC has been studied quoted and imitated not only as a historian but also as a moral philosopher political thinker and stylist.' Until 1600 more than 200 editions of his work appeared. Sallust was used in the 16th and 17th century to support absolute theories of government. But 'on the other hand it was the republican Sallust 'ennemy of tyrants' whom John Milton admired and who bolstered the cause of liberty in the Lowlands during the war with Spain and later in France and on the American continent'. The Classical tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 856. Sallustius furnished indeed weapons to the supporters and opponents during the rebellion of the Netherlands against the Spaniards a war of independence that lasted 80 years from 1568 till 1648. � This edition is a socalled 'Variorum edition'. It offers a 'textus receptus' which is widely accepted accompanied with the commentary and the annotations of various specialists taken or excerpted from earlier useful normative or renewing editions. Editions like these 'cum notis Variorum' were useful but never broke new ground. The production of these sometimes overloaded editions was the specialty of Dutch scholars of the 17th and 18th century. The compilers seldom were great scholars but often hard working schoolmasters. Their involvement in publishing a new edition was limited to the necessary. The text of Sallustius is preceded by the chapter which J. Vossius had written on him in his 'De historicis latinis'. Then follow 'Judicia et Testimonia'. At the end of the text we find the 'Spicilegium in Sallustium' of Janus Mellerus Palmerius. This is a collection of notes on the 'Catilina' and 'Bellum Jugurthinum' which was first published in 1580. It consists of explanations and observations but most of all proposed emendations. Next to nothing is known about this scholar. Palmerius or Palmier was a Neolatin poet and scholar from Bruges. Van der Aa 15 p. 68 Collation: 8 26; A-2Q8 2R4 2S1 Photographs on request hardcover‎

Thick paper wide margins untrimmed. Fine engraved frontispiece and plates designed by Frans van Mieris junior engraved by Cl. Duflos for Coustelier in 1744 and used again by Barbou for this edition. For an explanation of these mythological plates see the bibliography of Gordon p. 244. Woodcut printer's mark on the title depicting an old man who stands in the shade of a vine-entwined elmtree symbolising the symbiotic relationship between scholar and publisher. The motto is enigmatic: 'Non solus' probably indicating the interdependency of publisher and scholar. Occasional engraved headpieces and woodcut initials. Includes also a tricolour bookmarker. At the end 30 pages filled with 'Variae Lectiones' Condition: Some negligible wear to the corners; a hardly visible dent at the lower edge of the front board Note: The Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius was much admired in the age of Enlightenment. 'Virtually every major figure of the period was in some way influenced by Lucretius'. S. Gillespie and Ph. Hardie Cambridge Companion to Lucretius 2007 p. 274. He acted as shield-bearer and mouthpiece of the Greek philosopher Epicurus by explaining in his didactic poem 'De rerum natura' Epicurus' physical theories 'with a view to abolishing superstitious fears of the intervention of the gods in the world and of the punishment of the soul in an after-life'. OCD 2nd ed. p. 623 � This is a line for line re-edition of the Lucretius edition of 1744 published in Paris by A. Coustelier. It was edited by the French scholar �tienne Andr� Philippe de Pr�tot 1707-1787. He taught history and geography at the Royal Academy in Paris and produced for the publisher Coustelier a great number of editions of Latin classics especially poets and historians. He published also on Roman history and on geography. He was not an accomplished philologist so he borrowed the texts for his editions from standard works. In this case he used the text of the edition of the Dutch classical scholar S. Haverkamp 1684-1742 which was published in quarto Leiden 1725. Dibdin calls the edition of Haverkamp 'not only a very splendid but a learned and critical edition'. Dibdin 2202/3. Ernesti calls it 'splendissima' Ernesti 183. Mr. Philippe not only borrowed the text but his edition is also adorned with the same charming plates as that of Haverkamp only expertly reduced Collation: frontispiece a8 b4 c6; plate A8 B4 C8 plate D4 E8 F4 G8 plate after G5 H4 I8 K4 L8 plate after L1 M4 N8 O4 Plate P8 Q4 R8 S4 T8 plate after T1 V4 X8 Y4 Z8 Aa4 Photographs on request hardcover‎

Joints of the second volume cracking. Small inkstain on the upper edge of the first 100 pages. Title browned. Regularly old ink underlinings occasional ink annotations by a German hand. Ownership entries on the front endpapers Note: The German humanist Friedrich Taubmann 1565-1613 a man of humble origin was 'Professor Poeseos' Latin at the University of Wittenberg from 1595. He was also an accomplished Neolatin poet. His favorite author meum poeticum cor was the Roman playwright Plautus ca. 250-184 B.C. He considered his much critized first edition of Plautus of 1605 a disaster and asked the publisher to destroy the remainder 2/3 of the copies printed and to replace it by a revised second edition which was indeed published in 1612. Taubmann was above all a compiler of the commentaries of others. He employed the Plautus text of Camerarius for his edition and new material provided by the Flemish classical scholar Janus Gruterus or in Dutch Jan Gruter since 1602 Keeper of the Bibliotheca Palatina at Heidelberg. Gruter had bought from the sons of Joachim Camerarius 1500-1574 for his library 2 manuscripts the 'codex vetus' and 'codex decurtatus' because he realized more than Camerarius himself the exceptional worth of both manuscripts. Taubmann received valuable help from the Keeper who collated the Palatine manuscripts and made good use of them in his second edition. 'In der That beruht der Werth der Taubmann'schen Edition in dem ausserordentlichen Reichthume der commentatorischen Parallelen; nach dieser Hinsicht mag sie heute noch mehr als geschichtliche Aufmerksamkeit beanspruchen. Die zweite Ausgabe war textlich viel sorgsamer und �bertraf in Correctheit Typenwahl und Ausstattung die �ber alle Maassen liederliche erste erklecklich' ADB 37433-440. This second edition of 1612 receives also much praise from Schweiger Dibdin and Fabricius/Ernesti. At the end are added 2 treatises the first by J. Camerarius 'De Fabulis Plautinis' and the second by J.C. Scaliger 'De carminibus Comicis'. Taubmann died the year after the appearance of this great edition leaving a wife and 5 young children. His edition's fame survived him Provenance: On the front flyleaf: 'Laurenz Lersch 1835'. Johann Heinrich Laurenz Lersch 1811-1849 was a German archaeologist and classical philologist.

‎Rotterdam Te Rotterdam By Barent Bos Boekverkooper 1702. 4to. XXXIV560 p. frontispiece 2 plates. Overlapping vellum 21 cm Ref: STCN ppn 216756308; OiN 355 Details: 6 thongs laced through the joints. Frontispiece by C. Huyberts depicts Sulpicius in his study writing his 'Sacrae Historiae'. Title in red and black. Woodcut printer's mark on the title depicting the goddess of wisdom Athena surrounded by a great nummber of books; it's appropriate motto: 'Non curta supellex' 'not an ill-furnished mind/library'. The other 2 engraved plates show biblical and historical scenes Condition: Binding slightly soiled and scratched Note: The first ecclesiastical histories in the Latin West were translations of Greek historians. Hieronymus translated the 'Chronicon' or 'Chronicle' Pantodap� historia / Universal history of Eusebius bishop of Caesarea to which he added a continuation of his own up to 378 A.D. And the monk Tyrannius Rufinus translated Eusebius' 'Church History' Ekkl�siastik� historia. It was published in 402 or 403 and continued the work from the reign of Constantine the Great to the death of Theodosius 395. It was published in 402 or 403. The first independant Church History in the West was written by Sulpicius Severus ca. 363-420 an eminent Latin-Christian historian originating from South-West Gaul. His 'Sacrae Historiae' or 'Chronica' appeared in 402. The 'Sacrae Historiae' or in Dutch 'Kerkelyke Historie' tells the 'sacred history' from Adam till ca. 400 A.D. This is the first and up till now the only complete Dutch translation. Sulpicius is not only translated but also 'met opmerkingen opgeheldert' i.e. elucidated with notes. In them the translator Pieter Rabus criticizes Severus. The notes usually occupy more than half a page. Pieter Rabus 1660-1702 was a famous man of letters in his days. He also translated Erasmus. As an enlightened author and journalist he wrote against superstition and intolerance. In 1686 he became 'Praeceptor' of the Erasmianum in Rotterdam. After 'Kerkelyke Historie' of Sulpicius follows a translation of the continuation of the 'Chronica' by Johannes Sleidanus 1507-1556 'De quattuor summis imperiis'. This part comprises the last 110 pages and deals with the history of the church during the Middle Ages.

‎Little Symphony After Pictures Of Roswitha Bitterlich = Kleine Sinfonie Nach Bildern Der Roswitha Bitterlich. Score‎

‎Wien / Vienna: Universal 1953. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 117 Pp. Softcover Large Format. Inscribed Jan. 3 1954 By Zeisl To His Friend Hugo Apparently A Close Friend Of The Schoenfeld Sisters. Erich Zeisl 1905 - 1959 Often Spelled Eric Was An Austrian-Born American Composer. Born To A Middle Class Jewish Family In Vienna Zeisl Was The Son Of Kamilla Feitler And Siegmund Zeisl. His Musical Precocity Enabled Him To Gain A Place At The Vienna State Academy Against The Wishes Of His Family When He Was 14 At Which Age His First Song Was Published. While There He Studied With Richard St�hr Joseph Marx And Hugo Kauder. He Won A State Prize For A Setting Of The Requiem Mass In 1934 But His Jewish Background Made It Difficult To Obtain Work And Publication. After The Anschluss In 1938 He Fled First To Paris Where He Began Work On An Opera Based On Joseph Roth's Job And Then To New York City. Eventually He Went To Hollywood Where He Worked On Film Music But Increasingly Felt Isolated And Ill At Ease With The Production-Line Demands Of His Employers. Among The Films For Which He Wrote Music Were The Postman Always Rings Twice 1946 And Abbott And Costello Meet The Invisible Man 1951. Zeisl's Style Was Essentially Tonal And Conservative Compared To Contemporaries Such As Arnold Schoenberg And Thus Not Totally Unsuited To Film Music Composition. But His Heart Lay Elsewhere. At One Stage He Was Employed To Arrange The Music For A Highly Inaccurate Stage Show About The Life Of Tchaikovsky Song Without Words. His Anguish About His Reduction To Such Work Together With The Straits To Which Other �migr� Composers In America Were Reduced At The Time Is Evident In A Letter Written To A Friend In 1945: 'Even Milhaud Stravinsky Tansman Are Struggling. B�la Bart�k Died In New York Of Hunger! . Last Year I Orchestrated A Tchaikowsky Operetta Which Provided A Living For 8 Months But Why Does Tchaikowsky Have To Be Put Into An Operetta . No Composer Is Important Here'. Nonetheless Zeisl Was Able Eventually To Find Academic Appointments And Time To Compose In His Own Style. These Works Included A Variety Of Chamber Music A Piano Concerto A Concerto For Cello Written For Gregor Piatigorsky And A Setting For Choir Soloists And Orchestra Of Psalm 92 In Hebrew Which He Titled Requiem Ebraico Hebrew Requiem Written In 1944-5 In Memory Of His Father. A Work Of Variations For Orchestra Was Based On The Christmas Carol "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear." His Opera Hiob Job Was Never Completed. Zeisl Was Married To Gertrud Susanne Jellinek. His Daughter Barbara Zeisl Schoenberg Married Ronald Schoenberg The Son Of The Composer Arnold Schoenberg. His Grandson Is Lawyer E. Randol Schoenberg. Zeisl's Status As A Proscribed Musician Under The Nazi Regime Has Been One Element In A Revival Of Interest In His Music Some Of Which Is Now Available On Cd. The Premiere Performance Of The Requiem Ebraico Was Held In Los Angeles In The Hollywood First Methodist Church On April 8 1945 By Hugo Strelitzer Conducting The Fairfax Temple Choir. <br/> <br/> Universal paperback‎
