Good quality paper. Condition: Vellum aged and somewhat soiled. All four ties gone Note: The German scholar Vitus Winshemius 1501-1570 or Veit Winsheim is called after his hometown Windsheim. His original name was Veit Oertel or �rtel. He is also known as Herr Vitus Oerthl von Winssheim. The young man went to Wittenberg to study and soon caught the attention of Melanchthon and Luther. He was given financial support by his hometown with a grant of 20 gold guilders a year. His appointment to professor of Greek at his university followed in 1541 later he became professor of Medecine too. In 1538 Winsemius' teacher Melanchthon who praised him for his knowledge and modesty asked him to publish a new revised edition of his Latin Syntax. He later produced mediocre according to Bursian translations of several Greek authors. ADB 43 p. 462/3 also Eckstein p. 621 In 1569 Winsemius published a new Latin translation of Thucydides. Eleven years later it was published for the second time. His son who's name was also Veit who was a jurist and also a professor in Wittenberg produced an edition which had been revised by his father shortly before he died in 1570. This edition of 1580 has 2 dedications the first of the son and the second of the father both for Augustus since 1553 Elector of Sachsen 1526-1586. From the dedications we learn the following that Winsemius produced the translation near the end of his life 'in mea decrepita senecta'. 'Vixi hic Wittenberg annos iam pene 50' he tells the reader elsewhere in his preface. Winsemius filius proudly tells us that his father was closely connected to monarch August familiariter notus and that he published the book on his own expense meoque sumptu atque impensis. Winsemius senior undertook the translation because he was not satisfied with the already existing translations. They were mutilated and too obscure. He calls Thucydides a great historian and emphasizes that we must learn from the mistakes and successes of the Greek so eloquently described. However 'et quidem negari non potest esse multa perplexa atque intellectu difficilia in libris Thucydidis'. This harshness in diction strange and oldfashioned syntax and vocabulary deter people from reading the great author he explains. Winsemius filius wanted to honour the memory of his father with this book. He not only took the trouble of publishing the translaton anew and on his own expense but he did so with great care. He hired a first class publisher who could take care of printing with clear printing type and who knew how to produce a pleasant type page. The son ordered also to buy paper of good quality. VD16 says that this publisher was Matth�us Welack who was active from 1576 till 1593. How VD16 knows this we could not find out. This cannot however be correct. Welack was a busy printer and publisher in Wittemberg that is true but the printers' mark on the title is definitely that of the publisher Samuel Selfisch 1529-1615. Welack's printer's mark also shows a Salomon and David scene Collation: a-b8 c4; A-3G8Photographs on request hardcover

Gilt red morocco letterpiece on the back. Printer's mark of the Giunta family on the title: a fleur-de-lys. Woodcut initials good paper fine printing Condition: old and small inscription on front pastedown; a bigger one on the front flyleaf. Name and a faint small inkstain on the title. Some very small wormholes near the lower edge keeping far away from any text; holes have occasionally been mended with a layer of thin paper Note: This volume contains the exhaustive and learned lecture notes of Fabio Paolino da Udine or Fabius Paulinus Utinensis on the description of the plague epidemy by the Greek historian Thucydides Thuc. Hist. 2.47-58. This epidemy reached the war-stricken city of Athens in 430 B.C. at the beginning of the Peloponnesian war which lasted from 431 till 404 B.C. Thucydides is the first to describe the social upheaval of a pandemy and its consequences. The identification of what was the cause of this pandemy is until this day a matter of controversy. Fabius Paulinus Utinensis born at Udine ca. 1535 was the very man for a commentary on this subject. 'His first training in Greek and Latin was at Venice with Bernardino Partenio. Later he went to Padua where he graduated in philosophy and medicine but studied rhetoric and Arabic as well. He practiced medicin for a time before he became public professor at Venice where he taught Greek in the School of San Marco and Latin in the Collegio de'Notai. Both chairs he obtained in 1588 as the successor of Bernardino Partenio'. 'Medieval and Renaissance Latin translations and commentaries vol. 8' Washington 2003 p. 180. Paulinus held his lectures in the library of the San Marco Gymnasium. The work starts with a list of 232 questions concerning the possible causes of the pest. Each chapter is preceded by the relevant Greek text and a Latin translation. � On the flyleaf a former owner has written a quotation from Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' chapter XLIII note 90: 'I was indebted to Dr. Hunter for an elaborate commentary on this part of Thucydides the plague of Athens a quarto of 600 pages Ven. 1603 apud Juntas which was pronounced in St. Marks Library by Fabius Paullinus sic Utinensis a physician and philosopher'. These passages of Thucydides helped Gibbon to understand the impact of the pest epidemy which ravaged Konstantinople in 542 under the emperor Iustinian Provenance: Name on the title of 'Joannis Molini'. This must be a relative of one of the 3 senators of the Gymnasium to whom Paulinus dedicates his work. The book is dedicated to 'M. Anto. Memmo' and the noblemen 'Francisco Molino' & 'Antonio Priolo' Collation: a-d4 e6; A-4F4 Photographs on request hardcover

Backs rubbed. Letterpiece on the back of volume 2 slightly damaged. 1 stamp on the first title. 2 stamps on the second title Note: This is the first translation into Dutch of the work of the Greek historian Thucydides 'perhaps the greatest historian who has yet lived incontestably the greatest in antiquity'. H.J. Rose A handbook of Greek literature London 1965 p. 302 The translation was made by the Dutch schoolman Hendrik Frieseman born ca. 1755. Later in life he succeeded in obtaining the rectorship of the 'Schola Latina' of Harderwijk where he died in 1821. Van der Aa 16252 In his short preface Frieseman tells us that he used for his translation the text of Duker. This must be the very learned edition with text and exhaustive commentary produced by Carolus Andreas Duker Amsterdam 1731. Frieseman tried he says to imitate the compact and succinct style of the Greek historian and tried to avoid the loose and 'agreable' style of the translation of the Frenchmen Ablancourt first published in 1662. He reproaches the famous Ablancourt that he occasionaly seems to contradict and improve Thucydides which is not the task of the translator Provenance: stamp on title: 'Bibliotheek Aloysius-college s'-Gravenhage' and of 'Bibl.-Gymn. Catv.' this must be the Sint Wilbrordus Gymnasium at Katwijk Collation: 4 A-2C8 2D4; pi1 A-2G8 2H2 2I1 Photographs on request hardcover
