VELLEIUS PATERCULUS
C. Velleii Paterculi Quae supersunt ex Historiae Romanae voluminibus duobus cum integris animadversionibus doctorum curante Davide Ruhnkenio.
Leiden Lugduni Batavorum Apud Samuel et Joann. Luchtmans Academiae Typographos 1779. 8vo. 2 volumes in 1: II frontispieceXXXIICXXII1262 recte 126099 index p. Calf 21 cm Ref: STCN ppn 241048281; Schweiger 21130: a long note from which :'Sehr wichtige Ausgabe'; 'an offenbar corrupten Stellen nahm er Emendationen fremde und eigene auf'. 'Die Notae des Rhenanus und Burer liess er unverstümmelt unter dem Texte abdrücken und fügte ihnen seine Anmerkungen . neue Emendationen . hinzu'. 'Der zweite Theil enthält den vollständigen Apparat der Burmannischen Ausgabe'; Dibdin 2 525: 'a very excellent edition'; The text is 'amended in many passages by the judgement of Ruhnkenius and not according to the fanciful suggestions of preceeding editors'; Brunet 4430: 'Très bonne édition'; Ebert 23482: 'Diese Ausgabe ist ein whares Muster krit. Tacts und grammat. Gelehrsamkeit und bis jetzt die beste'. J. Bernays 'Geschichte der klassischen Philologie Hildesheim 2008 p. 144: 'jetzt ca. 1880 noch ausgezeichnet'; Spoelder p. 677 Tiel 1 Details: Prize copy including the manuscript prize dated 3rd july 1801 for Romboldus Brenkman Pitlo. Back gilt elaborately and with 5 raised bands. Red morocco shield in the second compartment. Other compartments filled with gilt floral motives. Borders of the boards also ruled gilt with floral motives and floral corner pieces. Gilt coat of arms of Tiel on both boards. Edges dyed red.The frontispiece designed by H. van der My and executed by F. v. Bleyswyk depicting Rome personified by an emperor as a stronghold against chaos under the protection of the Gods; in the middle stands the wise goddess Athena; she holds in her right hand the Palladion; Athena is the 'aquilifer' Eagle-bearer of Rome for in her left hand she holds the 'Aquila' the standard of the Roman army; with a long chain she holds the destructive forces of civil war and chaos under control Condition: Corners slightly bumped. Head of spine very slightly damaged. All 4 ties gone Note: The work of the Roman historian Velleius Paterculus ca. 19 BC - after 30 AD is a valuable source for the reigns of the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius. Paterculus who served 'under Tiberius in many of his most important campains seems to have conceived an unbounded admiration for him and the whole imperial family in whose men he could see nothing but sublime virtues while the ennemies were compact of every possible vice' H.J. Rose 'A handbook of Latin literature London 1967 p. 355. Velleius' adulatory type of history was however condemned by the later historian Tacitus who ignores him. The 'Historiae Romanae' consists of 2 books. The beginning of the first from the founding of Rome to the battle of Pydna in 168 BC in which the Romans defeated the Macedonian kingdom is lost. What remains of book one ends with the fall of Carthago in 146 B.C. Book 2 is of greater importance. 'Book 2 covering the period 146 BC to AD 30 becomes more detailed as it approaches the author's own day doubtless because as he tells us he projected a fuller history from the Civil War onwards.' OCD 2nd edition p. 1111/12. His style is less polished but we are to remember that he was more a soldier than an scholar. § Velleius Paterculus was in good hands with the Dutch scholar of German origin David Ruhnken or Ruhnkenius 1723-1798. David Ruhnken was born in Pommern and was sent by his parents in 1737 to the Friedrichscollegium in Königsberg where he read Latin authors together with his friend Immanuel Kant. To finish his studies he went in 1744 to Leiden to study Greek under Tiberius Hemsterhuis whom he admired. He later told his biographer Wyttenbach that that he found in his teacher the combined gems of Leiden classical scholarship Scaliger and Salmasius in one person. Hemsterhuis wanted to create a worthy successor and appointed him in 1757 to assist him as Reader in Greek. In 1761 Ruhnken succeeded the Latin chair vacated by Oudendorp. He became one of the leading scholars of his days. 'Die Führerstellung der Philologie erbte . von Hemsterhuys der Pommer David Ruhnken der ganz zum Holländer ward und die vornehme und behäbige Würde eines Princeps criticorum zu wahren wusste. Als solchem hat ihm Fr.A. Wolf die Prolegomena gewidmet. . Musterhaftes Latein galt ihm soviel wie Wissenschaft. Aber als Lehrer muss er glänzend gewesen sein. . Alles was Ruhnken veröffentlicht hat ist in seinen Grenzen tadellos'. U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff Geschichte der Philologie Lpz./Bln. 1921 p. 39/40 § The edition of 1779 begins with a dedication and continues with the dedications and prefaces of previous editions from the edition of Beatus Rhenanus of 1520 till that of Burmannus of 1719. Then follow 60 p. 'Annales Velleiani seu vita Velleii Paterculi pro temporum ordine disposita ab H. Dodwello'. The rest of the volume is filled with the text and commentary of Ruhnkenius. Volume 2 beginning with page 500 contains the 'Variorum interpretum Notae'. On Ruhnken: ADB 29 615/24; and of course the dissertation of E. Hulshoff Pol 'Studia Ruhnkeniana' Leiden 1953 Provenance: Prize for Romboldus Brenkman Pitlo on the occasion of his promotion to 'supremam Mediae Classis ordinem' as the best pupil of his year primus. It is dated the 3rd of July 1801 and signed by the curators of the Gymnasium of Tiel W. de Roo G.J. Rink P. Ten Bosch and J. Dijkmeester and by 'Me Gymnasii Rectorem J. Posthuma'. A report of the prize ceremony can be found in 'Maandelijkse uittreksels of Boekzael der geleerde waerelt' 1801 p. 353/4: 'Thiel. Na dat op den 3den July het gewoone Zomerexamen gehouden was zyn op den eersten September eenige wakkere en veelbelovende jongelingen naar hoogere Classen bevorderd en met aanzienlyke eerpryzen beschonken. De Rector J. Posthuma opende deze plechtigheid met eene Redenvoering 'over den staat der Letterkunde vooral in de jongstafgelopen Eeuw in vergelyking met dezelve in de twee nog vroegere Eeuwen'. P.C.

Shakespeare, William
The First Folio of Shakespeare: The Norton Facsimile: Prepared by Charlton Hinman: Based on Folios in the Folger Shakespeare Library Collection with a New Introduction by Peter W. M. Blayney
NY and London: W. W. Norton & Company. As New with No dust jacket as issued. 1996. Second Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. 034545281X . Publisher's full red cloth spine in five compartments separated by raised bands and gilt borders gilt lettering in three compartments gilt tooling in remainder. Red silk marked bound in. Folio 376 x 251 mm. This is a full-size photographic facsimile of the First Folio edition of Shakespeare's plays which was printed over a period of two years and released in 1623. As printing of the First Filios proceeded proofs were read and corrections were made. The uncorrected sheets were not thrown out but were mixed in with the corrected ones with the result that no two First Folios of which there are 240 in existence are identical. This edition reproduces pages from 29 of the most satisfactory copies out of the 82 now in the Folger Shakespeare Library originally selected by Prof. Charlton Hinman in 1968. In his Introduction Peter W. M. Blayney reconsiders Professor Hinman's findings in the light of new Elizabethan scholarship. The volume includes all of the line numbering established in the 1968 edition as well as the traditional Globe act-scene-line numbers. Professor Blayney's Introduction includes a table identifying the order the pages of each play were set and the compositors believed to have set each page. This is a unique and invaluable tool for any serious Shakespeare scholar. The volume is in perfect pristine condition unmarked tight square and clean. The slipcase is also in perfect condition. A large heavy book 11 pounds - additional shipping charges may apply. AS NEW. . Facsimiles. Folio 13" - 23" tall. 928 pp . W. W. Norton & Company hardcover

Don Jose Franco Diaz
1868 Manuscript Requesting Jail Time for a Chinese Indentured Labourer on a Coolie Contract Laying Brick for a Wealthy Cuban in Matanzas
Matanzas Cuba. Poor with no dust jacket. 1868. Non-Book. On offer is a relic of the Chinese Coolie Trade being an 1868 manuscript document written on behalf of a Cuban man who owns the contracts of several Chinese men working as bricklayers in his factory. This document is dated August 5 1868 and is signed by Don Jose Franco Diaz a Cuban man who owns the contracts of Chinese people who are in Cuba laying brick to build the factory he is funding on Calzada de Estevan possibly Esteban . In it Diaz informs the Governor of Matanzas that one of the Chinese men he has contracted Justo has committed several breaches of subordination
and requests that Your Honor arrange for the said Asian Justo to be admitted to the correctional person where he will be assigned to public work for fifteen days. A response to the request is written and signed by what appears to be a government official on August 9th 1868. The Chinese coolie trade a system of indentured labor that targeted young poor Chinese men operated from 1847-1874. The coolie trade took place in large part between the shipping port in Macao now a part of China then under Portuguese rule and Havana Cuba then under Spanish control. Coolies were transported from China on ships many of which had formerly been used as African slave ships Yun & Laremont 2001. The coolie ships often had slave names eg Africano Mauritius or ironic names Dreams Hope Live Yankees Wandering Jew Yun & Laremont 2001 p. 110. Many did not survive the journey with approximately 16400 Chinese coolies dying on European and American coolie ships to Cuba during a 26-year period Yun & Laremont 2001 p. 111-112. This accounted for a mortality rate of 12-30% though on some voyages the death rate reached 50% as in the case of the Portuguese ship Cors in its 1857 sailing. These deaths were caused by violence rebellions thirst suffocation and sickness Yun & Laremont 2001. To learn more about the Chinese coolie trade and its importance in world history click here to read our in-depth research blog on the topic. This document provides insight into the interaction between Cuban owners of coolie contracts the men in Cuba on coolie contracts and the local government. The document measures approx 8.5x13 inches and is in Fair condition with age toning fraying at the edges small rips and tears and some small defects to the centre of the document that obscures approximately four words. The ends of about 6 words are obscured due to small tears at the side of the page. Overall Fair to Poor. ; Manuscripts; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 2 pages; Signed by Author . unknown

Cuban Government
1861 Manuscript Record of Black Residents of Guane Pinar Del Rio Cuba Transcribed from Government-Mandated Afro-Cuban Registrations
Cuba Pinar Del Rio Guane. Good with no dust jacket. 1861. Non-Book. On offer is a remarkable piece of Afro-Cuban history related to the Black Cuban population in 1861 several years before the African slave trade in Cuba was formally abolished. This document is a 12-page government-compiled list of all Black residents of Guane Pinar del Rio Cuba. The information was gathered from registration cards that were completed and collected in accordance with a Cuban Royal Order imposed on December 2 1859. Residents of colour had to indicate their name age marital status and profession or social position. This document lists 322 of these Black residents and provides all of their information. It is stamped by the Captain of the Government of Guane. Cuba had a great need for inexpensive labour to support their sugar industry. While America and Britain signed a treaty in 1814 to abolish the African slave trade it took many years for complete global abolition. The African slave trade was not ended in Cuba until 1886 despite it being formally abolished in 1867 Yun & Laremont 2001. During the Chinese coolie trade 1847-1874 African slaves often worked alongside Chinese indentured labourers. This document provides insight into not only who the Afro-Cuban citizens were within the Pinar del Rio population but also into the record keeping of the Cuban government and the restrictions placed upon the Black population of the time. The document approx 8.5x12 inches. It appears to have previously been stapled and there are marks where the staples were removed. It contains three sets of folded templates that have been hand-filled with four pages of content in each set. They are unbound with a total of 12 pages of content. The document is age toned with minor bends and some small tears that do not impact the content. Overall Good. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 12 pages . unknown
