‎CURTIUS RUFUS.‎

‎Hoogberoemde historie van 't leven ende de daden Alexandri de Groote. Inhoudende hoe hy Europa overheerd Darius der Persen Coninck met gansch Asia ende India tot de Oceanische Zee t'ondergebraght heeft ende eyntlijck tot Babilon gestorven is. Overgeset uyt Latijn door A. SNEL. Den vierden druck gecorrigeert.‎

‎Rotterdam By Pieter van Waesbergen 1648. 8vo. 51314 p. Vellum 16 cm Ref: Geerebaert 105c; OiN 154; Schweiger 2328 Details: Engraved title depicting Alexander on horseback at his feet a trampled Darius; printed in Gothic type as is usual with translations into Dutch Condition: Shabby: vellum worn back wrinkled; small tear at head of spine; book block loose in binding; front endpapers gone; rear endpapers loose; title soiled loosening and with thumbed edges; small wormhole in the first 6 leaves near the left upper corner; first 2 gatherings dampstained at the lower margin; gatherings quite loose Note: This Dutch translation of Curtius Rufus was a great success. It was first published in 1613 and was reissued 15 times for the last time ca. 1765. It was far more popular than the translation of Glazemaker that was reprinted only 2 times. Not much is known of the translator A. Snel. Van der Aa only records what we know already that one A. Snel produced a translation of Curtius Rufus. The short preface of the second edition of 1627 signed by one Albrecht Snel which is reprinted here in this 4th edition learns us more. It is in fact a dedicatio to the 'Rulers' of the city of Delft and the 'Opper-Heeren' that is curators of the local Schola Latina. Albrecht Snel tells the reader that he is a teacher at the local Schola Latina and that he wants to dedicate his translation as first-fruits to the excellent members of the City Council just like the old Greeks did when they wanted to thank their benefactors. He calls his bosses 'Voedster-Heeren' i.e. sponsors or patrons of Greek and Latin and of those whom they charge to teach them at the local school. From the preface of the first edition of 1613 of this translation and which was left out in later editions we learn more about Snel. We learn something about his aim while translating Curtius Rufus. His aim is didactic. We must Snel says learn from the best examples available what to do and what to avoid. We can do this best by reading the ancient historians of whom Curtius Rufus is the best. Snel turns against those who proclaim that Dutch is inferior to Latin. We learn also which text Snel used for his translation the 'Raphalyn'. This must be the edition of 'De rebus gestis Alexandri Magni' published 'ex officina Plantiniana Raphelengii' in Leiden in 1606. The translation is preceded by 'Byvoeghingh uit verschyden schrijvers tot vervullinghe van Quinti Curtii eerste' and 'tweede' boec.' This is a translation of a reconstruction of the lost first 2 books from other sources Collation: A-2K8 Photographs on request hardcover‎

‎Q. Curtii Rufi Historia Alexandri Magni cum notis selectiss. Variorum Raderi Freinshemii Loccenii Blancardi etc. Editio novissima cui accessit locorum difficiliorum interpretatio.‎

‎Amsterdam Amstelodami Ex typographia Blauiana sumptibus Societatis 1684. 8vo. IV864481811 blank p. engraved title 1 folding map & 1 engraved plate. Vellum. 20 cm Ref: Schweiger p 321; Brunet 2.450; Graesse 2311; Spoelder p. 486 Amsterdam 4 Details: Prize copy the prize is however gone. 6 thongs laced through the joints. Back with gilt fillets. Boards with double fillet borders the gilt coat of arms of Amsterdam in the center and gilt cornerpieces. Engraved title depicting Alexander on horseback who crushes an ennemy and is accompanied by a flying Fama. The plate depicts the 'fons solis' a fountain in the Egyptian oasis of the temple of Ammon cool at midday and warm at the rising and setting of the sun. Alexander visited this famous oracle in order to obtain an answer concerning the divinity of his origin Condition: Vellum soiled. Gilt on the back faded away. Binding worn at the extremes. The right margin of the first 8 gatherings is waterstained. Both pastedowns worn. The last page of the index is loose and has thumbed and chipping edges. The slightly waterstained map is also loose and its edges are thumbed Note: This is a typical 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' never broke new ground. The production of these sometimes overloaded 'dustbins' of knowledge 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 but ungrateful task of the beast of burden. In a Variorum edition of Claudianus published by Elzevier in 1665 we get a glimpse of such a division of labour. There the 'typographus' tells the reader that a 'vir diligentissimus' the schoolmaster Cornelius Schrevelius excerpted from the best sources all that was necessary for a good understanding of the text. 'Quod ad praestantissimi poetae intellectum pertineret ex optimis Doctissimorum Virorum' here follows a number of names of Claudianus editors and commentators 'aliorumque qui antea in eo illustrando elaborarunt notis & commentariis selectissima quaeque excerpsit'. As to the Curtius edition on offer here: we have compared this anonymously published edition of Blaeu with the Elzevier edition of Curtius Rufus of 1664 and found out that the text is an almost exact copy. Blaeu used for the engraved title even the plate of the previously published edition. Blaeu only erased the name of the editor Cornelius Schrevelius and instructed an engraver to replace the name by: 'Editio novissima cui accessit locorum difficiliorum interpretatio'. This was done to fool the public. The promised explanation of difficult places placed between the text which is printed at the top of the page and the 'notis variorum' at the lower half is very scant obvious and redundant. The rest is the same. The text of Curtius Rufus is preceded by a rather strange philological accomplishment a feat which was much admired by his contemporaries the endeavour to repair the loss of the first 2 books of the 'Historia Alexandri Magni'. This new Latin text was produced earlier by the German classicist Johannes Casper Freinsheim 1608-1660 in his edition of 1640. Moss declares that this supplemented text is 'scarcely descernible from that of Q. Curtius' Collation: 2 a-h8 i2 leaf i1 loose minus blank leaf i2; A-3E8 3F2 Photographs on request hardcover‎

Vellum slightly soiled Note: 'This is one of the most valuable Editions of the Latin Classics I have ever read. Snakenburg has approved himself in this work to be a very able and judicious critic. Few editors have illustrated their authors so well'. With this quotation begins the review of Moss of this quarto Variorum edition. Like other Variorum editions it offers a 'textus receptus' which is widely accepted in this case the text published by the German scholar Johannes Casper Freinsheim 1608-1660 which appeared in 1640. The text on the upper half of the pages is accompanied with the commentary and the annotations of various specialists on the lower half These are taken or excerpted from earlier useful normative or renewing editions. Editions like this one 'cum notis Variorum' were useful but never broke new ground. The production of these sometimes overloaded vehicles of knowledge was the specialty of Dutch scholars of the 17th and 18th century. The compilers seldom were great scholars but often hard working schoolmasters. Yet Snakenburg did also some research. In a long and well-wrought introduction Snakenburg elaborates on the books he used and the scholars who helped him. He seems to have digested anything worth knowing about Curtius Rufus. He also asked permission from the University Library of Leiden to consult a 'codex antiquissimus'. He further inspected 2 other manuscripts one 'minime negligendus' and the third of a more recent date both 'codices Vossiani'. He collected readings emendations and collations from all normative sources but also e.g. annotations which he found in the margins of a book once owned by the Dutch scholar Nicolaas Heinsius 1620-1681. � Quintus Curtius Rufus probably first cent. A.D. is the author of the only surviving monography on Alexander the Great in Latin. This work consisting of 10 books did not survive in its entirety the first 2 books are lost. The text of Curtius Rufus is preceded in this edition by a rather peculiar philological accomplishment by Freinsheim. He endeavoured to repair the loss of the 2 lost books by a composition of his own a feat which was much admired by his contemporaries. He had published this addition earlier in his edition of 1640. The only thing Hendrik Snakenburg 1674-1750 ever did for scholarship is this Variorum edition. The praise and success which he earned with this one edition makes it likely that he was a good critic with a sound judgement. Snakenburg spent his life teaching classics at the 'Schola Latina' of Leiden. In 1740 he was appointed Rector. In Leiden he was befriended with the classical scholar J. Gronovius and one of the publishers of this book Samuel Luchtmans. His portrait painted by J. Houbraken in 1715 is in the possession of the 'Lakenhal' in Leiden. For Snakenburg see Van der Aa 17-2801 and NNBW 21333/4 Provenance: In pencil on the front pastedown: 'Dr. Brinkgreve'. This is Dr. Marius Roelof Johan Brinkgreve 1888-1966 a Dutch teacher of classics at the gymnasium of Utrecht 1912-1919 later till 1937 the director of 'Koninklijke Begeer' a silver-factory in the small town of Voorschoten.
