‎Actii Sinceri Sannazarii Patricii Neapolitani Opera omnia latine scripta ex secundis curis J. Broukhusii. Accedunt Gabrielis Altilii Danielis Cereti & fratrum Amaltheorum carmina; vitae Sannazarianae & notae Petri Vlamingii.‎

‎Amsterdam Amstelaedami Apud viduam Gerardi onder den Linden 1728. 8vo. IIXVIII errata63220 index & errata p. frontispiece 1 engraved plate 1 text engraving. Green vellum. 20 cm Ref: STCN ppn 189042265; Brunet 5127: 'Bonne �dition'; Graesse 6/1265; Ebert 20263 Details: This book has 2 different title pages. This anomaly tell us about a publisher's death and the efforts of his widow to continue the firm. The very first title bound before the frontispiece is printed in black has no printer's mark and shows the impressum: 'Amstelaedami Apud Gerardum Onder de Linden 1727'. The second title bound after the frontispiece is printed in red and black has a printer's mark but is now dated 1728 and published 'apud Viduam Gerardi Onder de Linden'. Gerard Onder de Linden died in 1727 leaving Vlaming's Opera edition of Sannazarius unfinished. In the 'Boekzaal der geleerde waerelt' volume 25 of december 1727 the public was informed that the widow who hoped to continue the business with the help of God was planning to publish the Sannazarius' edition soon. 'De Weduwe Gerard Onder de Linden die in afwagtinge van Godts hulp met hare winkel enz. in alles zal continueren zal in 't kort uitgeven 'Actii Sinceri Sannazarii . Opera' We couldnot find in the STCN and KVK any copy of Vlaming's edition dated 1727. The title page of 1727 was apparantly removed in most copies. In the mean time the widow had apparantly decided to print a more posh red-and-black title adorned with a printer's mark. She added also a nice frontispiece with her name on it designed and executed by 2 wellknown Dutch artists. She did so in cooperation with the Amsterdam printer Hermannus Uytwerf who brought copies on the market with his own imprint. The rest is identical. � Vellum dyed green. Back with 5 raised bands and a red morocco shield in the second compartment. Edges dyed red. The frontispiece designed by J. Goeree and executed by J. Houbraken depicts a bare-breasted Fama holding in her right hand her trumpet and a shield with the portrait of Sannazarius; on the shield his name: Actius Sincerus Sannazarius; under the left arm of Fame rests a scroll with the table of contents. � Printer's mark on the title depicting Fama flying above symbols of wisdom and blowing her trumpet. The motto is derived from Martial X212 and reads: 'Non norunt haec monumenta mori' 'These monuments donot know how to die'. � Text engraving on page 491 at the beginning of a biography of Sannazarius by Joannes Antonius Vulpius; depicted are both sides of a bronze medallion on the recto the portrait of Sannazarius and on the verso a scene with the birth of Christ referring to Sannazarius' 'De partu Virginis'. At p. 526 has been inserted a full page engraving of the 'Sannazaro Monument' in the church 'Santa Maria de Parto' a church built on the initiative of Sannazarius on a piece of land donated by king Frederick Frederigo of Aragon. The mausoleum erected in 1537 is a highlight of Napolitan Renaissance art. It was probably made after a design by Sannazarius himself Condition: Binding scuffed and worn at the extremes. Head and tail of the spine chafed. Corners bumped & slightly creased. Both joints splitting but strong. An old ink insciption on the 1728 title has been wiped out resulting in some stains. Paper yellowing Note: The Italian and Neo-latin poet Jacopo Sannazaro 1458 -1530 in Latin Jacobus Sannazarius also known as Actius Sincerus was of noble birth and a courtier at the court of the royal House of Aragon kings of Naples. Here he found a humanist atmosphere favourable for the development of his talents. The humanist Giovanni Gioviano Pontano 1426-1503 advisor and chancellor of the Aragonese dynasty became his intellectual mentor. He took his young student in his Academy the 'Accademia Pontaniana' under the name of 'Actius Sincerus'. There he deeply influenced his pupil's philological approach to antiquity and his knowledge of classical culture. After Pontanus' death Sannazarius became the head of this Academy. Sannazarius' masterwork 'Arcadia' written in Italian exercised a great influence on European poetry instituting the theme of the idyllic land Arcadia. After having written the 'Arcadia' in vernacular Sannazarius devoted the last decades of his literary activity exclusively to Neo-Latin poetry modelled on Vergil. In the normative 'Tati Renaissance Library' Sannazarius is advertised as 'the finest Neo-Latin poet of the Italian Renaissance'. His 'corpus' of Latin poetry written in an elegant style was small but nevertheless very influential and widely read. We counted in KVK ca. 30 editions of his 'Opera Omnia' printed before 1730 the first of which was published by Aldus in 1535. His 'De partu Virginis' an epic of ca. 1450 verses published in 1526 brought him the title of the 'Christian Vergil'. His style is said to be equal to Vergil with whom he emulated. In his other works he also emulated with Ovid and Horace. � In this edition of 1728 we find in the first half Sannazaro's poetry; the collection opens with: 'De partu Virginis' a poem which Erasmus is said to have liked though he found this poem on the birth of Christ too secular. Follows a short 'De morte Christi Domini ad mortales lamentatio' then 6 'Eclogae' which renewed the bucolic genre the traditional shepherds of Virgil being replaced here by fishermen. Follow 3 books of Sannazarius' 'Elegiae' and 3 books of 'Epigrammata'. The section on Sannazaro ends with a number of 'Carmina de Sannazario et ad Sannazarium'. The second half of the book contains the short 'Epithalamium' of Gabriel Altilius called 'Sannazarii sodalis' and the even shorter 'Salix' of Daniel Ceretus. The greater part of the second half is filled with the 'Carmina' of the brothers Hieronymus Jo. Baptista and Cornelius Amaltheus Jeronimo born 1507 Giambatista born 1525 and Cornelio Amaltheo together 175 pages edited previously in 1689 by J. Graevius under the title 'Trium fratrum Amaltheorum Carmina'. Graevius' preface is also repeated here. All 3 brothers were skilled and highly appreciated neo-latin poets. Hieronymus so excelled in Latin poetry that he is placed by the French humanist Muretus 1526-1585 among the most talented poets. Giambatista's Latin poems gave him a reputation equal to his brother. After this section follows a biography of Sannazarius written by the Italian classical scholar Giovanni Antonio Volpi 1686-1766 in Latin Johannes Antonius Vulpius. After the biography we find on 54 pages a collection of select 'testimonia' concerning Sannazarius. The book concludes with 50 pages filled with the notes of the Dutch scholar Pieter Vlaming 1686-1733. Vlaming a minor poet had a life long interest in Sannazarius. In 1710 he began with his translation into Dutch of the 'Arcadia' and he later produced the notes in Latin to the present edition of the Latin poems of Sannazaro edited by the Dutch scholar Janus Broukhusius. In the introduction to this 1728 edition written by Vlaming he tells about his interest in Sannazarius: 'ab ineunte aetate imo pene puer unice semper sum admiratus maturiore hac mea veneror suspicio & colo'. p. 6 recto � Vlaming's edition still has great value for the Dutch researcher Corine Flinterman proves in her master paper 'In vergetelheid geraakte epigrammen van Iacopo Sannazaro' Amsterdam 2013 that the latest edition of Sannazaro's Latin works 'Jacopo Sannazaro. Latin Poetry' by Michael C.J. Putnam Cambridge Massachusetts 2009 The I Tatti Renaissance Library 38 suffers from many omissions and mistakes. A sad thing because Putnam's work is considered an authorative point of reference for experts in Renaissance studies. Putnam based his sloppy edition Flinterman reveals on some incomplete 18th century italian editions which lacked 13 anti-papal epigrams. � This title of 1728 seems to be rare for in American Exchange we found only 2 copies both auctioned by Sothebys in 1952 and in 1959 Collation: pi1 title 1727 2pi2 8 minus the leaves 1 & 2 chi1 errata A-2S8 minus the blank leaves 2S7 and 2S8; plate bound after p. 526 The STCN copy doesnot have the 1727 title nor the errata leaf at the end of the preliminaries.

‎CAESAR.‎

‎C. Julius Cesars Aantekeningen der Gallische Burgerlyke Alexandrynsche Africaansche en Hispanische oorlogen. Uit het Latyn verduischt door Abraham Bogaert. Met kopere plaaten verciert.‎

‎Amsterdam By Nicolaas Ten Hoorn Boekverkoper 1709. 8vo. 2 volumes in 1: XVI341 recte 33926 index3 blank; IV38130 index3 blank p. 12 engraved plates of which 4 folding Vellum 16.5 cm Ref: STCN ppn 177072024; Geerebaert 983; OiN p. 127; Schweiger 255 Details: 5 thongs laced through the joints. Engraved printer's device on the title it depicts a kind of medal with a resting Muse on it; at her feet a wreath an opened book and a lyre; the legend reads: 'Proficit et recreat'; the medal rests on a collection of musical instruments and theatrical objects. The plates are in fine condition. The first plate of volume 1 is a portrait of Caesar below his portrait is the famous murder scene; first plate of volume 2 is a portrait of Pompeius below his portrait the murder of Pompeius Condition: Vellum soiled. Front joint partly split. Tiny hole in the vellum at the outer edge of the upper board. Front hinge cracking but strong. Front flyleaf worn. First 3 gatherings with a faint waterstain. Flyleaf at the end removed Note: Throughout the 17th and 18th century in Europe the Roman historian Julius Caesar 100-44 B.C. remained central to the education of the sons of the elite who trained for public life. He figured as an exemplary military leader. The politician and then tyrant Caesar however was much more controversial in Europe that was torn apart by bloody religious and civil wars. His dictatorship remained problematic though some justified his usurpation of power as the only way out of turmoils of the Roman republic. In the Dutch republic Caesar's most stubborn opponent the senator and patriot Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis the defender of republican freedom was more appreciated. In the beginning of the 18th century however the mood in the Low Countries was different. The Dutch republic was involved in the War of Spanish Succession 1701-1713 a war between a coalition of several European powers the Dutch republic Britain Prussia and Portugal called the Great Alliance and the kingdoms of France and Spain. France was in that time by far the greatest power in Europe and therefore the Alliance tried to prevent further expansion in the South of Europe and in the America's. In 1708 the French army started an offensive in the Southern part of the Netherlands where the Dutch priority had been to secure their barrier fortress system. The French took Brugge and Ghent by storm. The British army and the forces of the Dutch republic under Marlborough succeeded in defeating the French and to recapture the South of the Low Countries. During this War of Succession the Dutch army reached its greatest expansion 120.000 men. The allied forces finally succeeded in preventing that France and Spain would be governed jointly by the French king Louis XIV. � The dedicatee of this translation of Caesar Commentarii is the 'Raadspensionaris' Prime Minister of the Dutch Republic Antonius Heinsius 'de tong der zeven Staaten / Daar Holland zich mag veilig op verlaaten / In 't midden van den felsten oorlogsgloet / Die Vrankryk nu zal lessen met zyn bloed.' p. 2 recto He will let the French pay with their blood. The translator Abraham Bogaert exhorts Heinsius to take the field once again and follow the example of Caesar. 'Gelust het u ten slagvelde in te tre�n / Te stappen langs een berg van lyken heen / En Cesars tred te volgen daar zyne enkels / In 't bloed staan op der Gallen groove schenkels.' p. 2 verso The French are on the verge of collapse he rymes. 'Wat staaren niet de Gallen op zyn werken op Schildpat Ram en Blyde Wal en Gracht / En grof Geschut en Toorens groot van kracht!' Ibidem idem. Bogaert hopes that the example of Caesar and also his own translation will inspire the 'Raadspensionaris' Heinsius. 'Zo Cesar nu . / Uw doorziende oog in 't Neerduitsch kan bekooren / Dan zal zyn naam met groter luister glooren / Zyn dierbaare asch zich roeren en in 't bloed / Des Bataviers ontsteken eenen moed / Om Lodewyk ten rykstroone uit te klinken'. p. 3 verso In the following introduction Bogaert calls Caesar the 'grootste der Veldheeren' 'Een Held zeker wiens beleid onnavorschelyk wiens dapperheid onnavolgelyk is en die met dezelve kracht van geest heeft gesprooken en geschreeven met welke hij geoorloogt heeft'. p. 4 recto His language and style is exemplary. 'Zyne taale is de zuiverste der Latynen zyne style zacht en teder; en heeft hoe eenvoudig iets edelers dan Tactius met al de pracht zyner woorden'. Idem ibidem A soldier or politician will find in Caesar all he needs 'men vind daar in al 't geene nodig is om volkome Veldheeren en deftige Staatkundigen te maaken'. p. 5 recto Caesar work is a book of hours Getyboek for soldiers. Bogaert used for his translation the edition of Caesar published in 1606 in Leiden by Plantin Raphalengius. p. 6 verso � Abraham Bogaert 1663-1727 was a well known Dutch playwright and poet. He translated also Juvenalis 1693 Suetonius 1699 and Valerius Maximus 1721. NNBW 3131/32 The ancient Roman republic did not seem remote or exotic to Bogaert.

Inscription on the front flyleaf. Right margin of the title slightly soiled. Occasional pencil stripes in the Latin text Note: The work of the Roman historian Velleius Paterculus ca. 19 BC - after 30 AD commonly called Historia Romana is a valuable source for the reigns of the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius. It is the only history written by a witness of their time. Paterculus who served 'under Tiberius in many of his most important campaigns 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 enemies 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 Historia Romana consists of 2 books. The beginning of the first is lost from the founding of Rome to the battle of Pydna in 168 BC in which the Romans defeated the Macedonian kingdom. 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. Velleius' style is less polished but we are to remember that he was more a soldier than a rhetorician or scholar. Still long time the work of Velleius was considered to be a kind of rhetorical patchwork produced by an opportunistic court historian. However 'erst seit kurzem arbeitet man intensiv an einer Neubewertung des Velleius und seines Oeuvre als eines 'interpretationsf�higen und interpretationsbed�rftigen Textes sui generis'. Neue Pauly 12/1 1170/71 � The Dutch neolatin poet and classical scholar Nicolaas Heinsius 1620-1681 is to be ranked in the opinion of the Dutch Latinist Petrus Burman among the best interpreters of this historian. David Ruhnkenius however who allowed Heinsius 'every praise as an editor of the Latin poets thinks him greatly deficient' in his edition of Velleius. Dibdin The suggestions notes and emendations of Heinsius are frequently discussed in the normative Cambridge edition of Velleius Paterculus of A.J. Woodman who observes that Velleius was certainly not a panegyrist but that modern historians sided with Tacitus and have 'invariably tended to accept the criteria which Tacitus laid down for judging the early empire and its rulers. There is no reason why these should be the only valid criteria. The writing of history is an interpretation of various items of evidence: Velleius' own lifetime coincided with the period which he covers in the Tiberian narrative and it is almost always possible to corroborate from other ancient sources the statements which he makes concerning contemporary events. What objection can there be to an historian who recognised the benefits inherent in the imperial system and who devoted his rhetorical skill to the production of a corresponding interpretation of events'.

Graesse 6/1376; Ebert 21999; Schoenemann 2391 Details: Nice binding. Back with 4 raised bands. Engraved title depicting Martinus of Tours on horseback ready to cut his cloak in two for a beggar Condition: Binding slightly worn. Bookplate on the front pastedown. Paper slightly yellowing Note: The Latin historian Sulpicius or Sulpitius Severus was born in Aquitania ca. 360 A.D. He organized under the influence of Bishop Martinus of Tours a sort of monastic life on his own estate for himself and his friends. His extant works are a vita S. Martini Turonensis 'which is an apology for ascetism'; and this Sacrae Historiae a kind of universal chronicle to A.D. 402 'which is an important source for the history of 4th-century events . The whole book is an interesting attempt to present a 'breviarium' of history from the Christian point of view: it uses Christian chronographers especially St. Jerome but also Pagan writers. J. Bernays suggested that for the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D 70 Sulpicius followed the lost account of Tacitus. Sallust and Tacitus are his models in the matter of style'. OCD 2nd 3d. p. 983 After the text of the Sacrae Historiae follows the Continuation written by the humanist Johannes Sleidanus 1507-1556 taken from his De quattuor summis imperiis. This treatise of 90 pages deals with the history of the chruch in the Middle Ages until Charles V. After the Continuatio follow three letters on Saint Martin's miracles and death and three dialogues of Sulpicius Severus which compare Saint Martin's feats and virtues with those of the Egyptian hermits. � This Sulpicius edition is a line by line reissue of the Elzevier edition of 1643. Texts of Sulpicius were apparantly in demand for the Elzeviers of Leiden and Amsterdam produced three editions of the Sacrae Historiae 1626 1635 & 1643 and four editions of Sulpicius' Opera 1635 1643 1656 & 1665 Provenance: Armorial bookplate on the front pastedown.

His most celebrated work is the 'Institutio Oratoriae' in 12 books. It 'covers the complete training of the orator from the earliest preparation by the grammarian to his most mature aspirations for oratorical preeminence'. The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 827 The ideal was a public speaker who was skilled not only in eloquence but who was also a good man. This is summarized in the famous maxim that an orator is a 'vir bonus dicendi peritus'. Quintilian still makes all that has been written on education from Rousseau to the latest pseudo-psychologist rather worthless. H.J. Rose A handbook of Latin literature London 1967 p. 399 'Book 1 discusses childhood education. . In book 2 the boy enters the school of rhetoric'. In book 3 follows an account of the art of rhetoric 'its origin its parts and its functions. Book 4-6 deal with the detailed structure of a speech . Book 7 is concerned with arrangement dispositio and status-lore. Book 8 discusses style . while in book 9 figures of thought and speech are illustrated'. Book 10 contains a critique of Greek and Latin writers. 'Book 11 discusses memory delivery gesture and dress. The concluding book shows the complete Orator in action a man of highest character and ideals . Roman gravitas at its noblest'. OCD 2nd ed. p. 907 � The 'Institutio Oratoria' of Quintilian was known throughout the Middle Ages especially in the summarizing works of the encyclopedists like Cassiodorus and Isidorus of Sevilla. In 1416 the Italian humanist Poggio Bracciolini discovered in Sankt Gallen a complete text after which Quintilian came 'to exert a deep and lasting influence on rhetorical theory and practice'. The Classical Tradition p. 829 The treatise influenced authors like Erasmus and Vives. The humanist Poliziano lectured on him and Lorenzo Valla preferred him to Cicero. His educational ideas were absorbed by Piccolomini Agricola Erasmus De pueris instituendis and Melanchthon. He was also used by Ben Jonson Discoveries Alexander Pope Essay on criticism Du Bos and Goethe. 'Seine Wirkung geht mit der Verfehmung der Rhetorik im 19. Jh. zur�ck doch bleibt Quintilian eine respektierte Gr�sse bis heute'. Neue Pauly 10719 � The German classical scholar Joachim Camerarius was born in 1500 in Bamberg. He died in Leipzig in 1574. He held classical professorships at N�rnberg T�bingen and Leipzig and was one of the most significant representatives of Renaissance humanism in the Reformation. His interests were diverse and his productivity spectacular. 'His numerous editions of the Classics without attaining the highest rank are characterised by acumen en good taste'. In critical acumen Camerarius 'holds one of the foremost places among the German scholars of the sixteenth century'. J.E. Sandys 'A history of classical scholarship' N.Y. 1964 p. 266/67 Camerarius was also a paedagogue and allthough he stressed the supremacy of Greek literature and paideia to his students the work of Quintilian will have appealed to him for its educational qualities. Long before Comenius he developed an educational system for classical studies to which the Czech could revert. Camerarius edition with notes to the first two books was first published in Hagenau in 1531. Ad 2: George of Trebizond was one of the major intellectual figures of the mid-fifteenth century. This hot-headed Greek emigr� who arrived from Crete in 1416 was emprisoned in 1452 for having threatened Poggio Bracciolini with a drawn sword in the papal chancery. He produced numerous Latin translations from the Greek Aristotle Plato Demosthenes Ptolemaeus and several church-fathers. He followed the original as closely as possible rather than striving for eloquence. His greatest achievement was the introduction of the Byzantine rhetorical tradition to the West. In 1433/34 he published his Rhetoricorum libri quinque which was 'the first work on rhetoric in the Renaissance to make the Latin speaking world aware of the principles of Hermogenean rhetoric with its doctrine of forms and status. It was also the first complete treatment of rhetoric since Quintilian's Institutiones Oratoriae. Trebizond's small Isagoge dialectica written in 1438 and designed as an appendix . was intended to provide the orator with necessary training in logic. Because the Rhetoricorum libri V had already covered the problem of invention with its detailed treatment of loci and formae the Isagoge was concerned primarily with judgment and only to the extent that this was relevant for orators. . While of little lasting importance in Italy the Isagoge had a long life in Northern Europe. As opposed to the Italian humanists those in the North considered invention to be not a part of rhetoric but rather the most important aspect of logic. Source: R.G.

‎SECTANUS Q. L. SERGARDI.‎

‎Q. Sectani Satyrae in Phylodemum. Cum notis variorum.‎

‎K�ln Coloniae Apud J. Selliba 1698. 8vo. 16411 blank p. Vellum 15 cm Among the best ever written by a modern Latinist Ref: VD17 14:702097T; Sandys 2281; IJsewijn Companion 164; cf. Willems 2170; Brunet 5256; Graesse 6338; Ebert 20778 Details: This edition of the satyres of Sectanus was issued with 2 different titles; the title most found is: 'Satyrae XIX in Phylodemum cum notis variorum'. The content is exactly the same apart from the title. The title without 'cum notis variorum' seems rare. The publisher probably decided having printed a number of copies that the book would sell better with the addition 'cum notis variorum'. The imprint on the title is according to VD17 probably false; The book was probably printed in Lucca Condition: Vellum soiled. Head of the spine damaged. Both inner hinges strenghened with a strip of brown paper. Front endpapers inscribed and with owner's inscriptions. Name on the title. The blank upper margin of ca. 30 pages has been repaired with a small piece of paper to hide a worm hole which sometimes nibbles at a letter or some letters of the highest line. The blank right upper corner of the last leaves torn off and also repaired with a strip of brown paper. Small wormhole in the lower margin of the last 45 pages sometimes nibbling at a letter Note: The Venetian nobleman Lodovico Sergardi 1660-1726 published in 1696 a 'series of Latin satires against an enemy which were wholly within the tradition of Horace and Juvenal. He even signed himself Quintus Sectanus Quintus the fifth after Lucilius Horace Persius and Juvenal'. G. Highet 'Juvenal the Satirist a study' Oxf. 1962 p. 217 A second edition augmented with 3 satires appeared two years later in 1698. Highet's explanation of the first name of Sergardi's pseudonym Quintus Sectanus seems far fetched. It seems more obvious that Sectanus is derived from 'sectari' to follow pursue. This book is the result of a quarrel between the first members of the newly established 'Academia Arcadum' in Italian 'Accademia degli Arcadi' which was founded in Rome in 1690. The quarrel was between Sergardi and the lawyer and cofounder of the Academia Gianvincenzo Gravina.The aim of the members was to rescue Italian literature from manierism and to return to simplicity and the beauty of classic poetry. 'Among the Latin poems written by its members one finds both very good work and the deadliest dullness. Lodovico Sergardi/Q. Sectanus' satires . are rightly considered to be among the best ever written by a modern Latinist'. IJsewijn 'Companion to Neo-Latin studies' vol. 1 Leuven 1990 p. 64 Provenance: On the title: 'Ex libris Dom. Xavier'. On the front flyleaf an inscription: 'Ex libris valde Honorabii sic! Domini Joannis Frere Angli quem ille dignatus est in donum accipere ab addictissimo suo Comite Xaverio Marchese Melitensi anno salutis 1824'. This book was a gift of Count Saverio Marchese 1757-1833 who enjoyed great respect as a connoisseur of Maltese culture. His expertise extended over a number of fields among them poetry history archaeology the Maltese language and especially the arts and local art history. After the French had lost Malta to Great Britain in 1800 Malta was made a British Dominion. Marchese 'adapted effortlessly into the British environment under the new government. In 1823 he was elected to the University Committee responsible for examining the University�s performance and progress. In his collection of poems there are a number of sonnets praising British Governors . Marchese was also favourable of British preferences in art and architecture. . His talents and social merits were appreciated by both the Grand Masters and the British Governors who elected him to high social positions and invited him personally to important events and celebrations at the Palace on numerous occasions'. Krystle Farrugia. 'Count Saverio Marchese A Conoscente with Special Reference to His Commentary on Uomini Illustri di Malta'. In this online article is included a specimen of his handwriting which matches the inscription in this book. Marchese wrote on the verso of the flyleaf a short summary of the book. � This book was given by the count to the English author and retired diplomat John Frere Hookham 1769-1846 who served as ambassador in Spain and Prussia. In 1820 on account of the failing health of his wife 'he went with her to Malta where he lived for the rest of his life. In retirement he devoted himself to literature studied his favourite Greek authors and taught himself Hebrew and Maltese. He welcomed English guests was popular with his Maltese neighbours and befriended Mikiel Anton Vassalli the first Professor of Maltese at the University of Malta'. Quote from Wikipedia s.v. John Hookham Frere � This book was at some time brought to Great Britain. Three English owner's entries have been inscribed on the front pastedown. 1 'Fredk York Powell1898'. The English historian Frederick York Powell 1850-1904 wrote articles for the Dictionary of National Biography and the Encyclopedia Britannica and some books on folklore. See Wikisource with his portrait 2 'Arthur Quiller Couch' 1919'. 'Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch 1863-1944 was a British writer who published under the pen name of Q. Although a prolific novelist he is primarily remembered for the monumental Oxford Book Of English Verse 1250-1900 later extended to 1918 and for his literary criticism. He guided the taste of many who never met him including American writer Helene Hanff author of '84 Charing Cross Road'. See Quiller's lemma in Wikipedia. 3 'Giles Dugdale to Patrick Duff 1945'. Giles Dugdale was an English local historian. His admiration of the Dorset dialect poet William Barnes resulted in a biography of Barnes published in 1953. Dugdale�s other interests included art architecture and archaeology and he was an important member of the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society. His portrait can be found on the Wordpress site of the Dorset County Museum. Dugdale gave this copy of 'Sectani Satyrae' to Patrick Duff; he also dedicated his biography of Barnes to the same Patrick Duff.

Surface of the upper board somewhat chafed; all 4 green textile fastening ties gone. Faint and small stamp on the title Note: 'De figuris sententiarum et elocutionis' On the figures of speech a rhetorical treatise of the Roman rhetor Publius Rutilius Lupus first century A.D. is originally an abridgment of 'peri sch�mat�n' a work of the Greek orator Gorgias of Athens who must not be confused with the famous Gorgias of Leontini the contemporary of Socrates. This Gorgias of Athens is also known as the rhetor who taught Cicero's son Marcus at Athens in 44 B.C. Cic. Fam. 16216 The chief value of the treatise lies in the numerous renderings of abstracts and translations of striking passages from the Greek orators thus preserving much what is otherwise lost. Already in the 'editio princeps' of 1519 it was printed together with 'De figuris' of Aquila Romanus. The first half of this 1768 edition of Ruhnken contains the text of Rutilius Lupus the second half the 'De figuris sententiarum et elocutionis liber' of the Latin grammarian Aquila Romanus who flourished in the second half of the 3rd century A.D. He recommends Demosthenes and Cicero as models but he takes his examples almost exclusively from Cicero. The dates of the Latin rhetorician Julius Rufinianus are uncertain. He produced a kind of supplementary treatise augmented with material from other sources. Both took their material from a lost work of the Greek rhetorican Alexander Numenius 2nd cent. B.C. These 3 works were edited with commentary by the Dutch scholar of German origin David Ruhnkenius or David Ruhnken 1723-1798. In 1757 he was appointed at the University of Leyden to assist professor Tiberius Hemsterhuis as Reader in Greek and in 1761 he succeeded to the Latin chair vacated by Oudendorp. The great classical scholar U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff 1848-1931 calls him the 'Princeps criticorum'. The German scholar F.A. Wolf 1758-1824 dedicated his famous 'Prolegomena' of 1795 to him.

Deposed by the monophysite Council of Ephesus 449 he was rehabilitated at Chalcedon in spite of strenuous protests 451 but his attacks on Cyrill received posthumous condemnation under Justinian at the Council of Constantinople 553. His well-composed letters written in elegant prose are informative about both secular and ecclesiastical matters. His 'Graecarum Affectionum Curatio' is painstaking and thorough in contrasting Christianity and paganism. His 'Church History' from Constantine to 428 contains many invaluable documents. The 'Religious History' contains biographies of ascetics. The rest of his work is biblical exegesis and theological controversy both of which he conducted well'. OCD 2nd edition p. 1055 � Theodoretus' exegetical commentaries are according to Quasten among the finest specimens of the Antiochene School and remarkable for their combination of terseness and lucidity. In his interpretation of Holy Scripture Theodoretus adopts a middle course avoiding the radicalism of Theodore of Mopsuestia and his excessive literalness and allowing an allegorical and typological explanation whenever this appears preferable.

Upper margin of the 11th volume partly waterstained Note: The French ancient historian and educator Charles Rollin 1661-1741 was famous in his time appreciated by Voltaire and Montesquieu but forgotten by later generations. Only in England his popularity lingered on well into the 19th century. Nevertheles is his contribution to classical scholarship of importance for the development of Greek history as an elaborate intellectual construct. Neue Pauly vol. 14189 In 1687 Rollin was appointed professor of rhetoric at the 'Coll�ge du Plessis' in 1688 professor of eloquence at the 'Coll�ge Royal'. He was elected in 1694 Rector of the University of Paris and in 1701 member of the 'Acad�mie royale des inscriptions et m�dailles'. Rollin was hindered in his career by his religious Jansenist opinions. In 1720 after his reelection to Rector of the University of Paris he fell victim to a 'lettre de cachet' and was forced to step down. The second part of his life he consecrated to education and the study of ancient history. His monumental 'Histoire ancienne des �gyptiens des Carthaginois des Assyriens des Babyloniens des M�des et des Perses des Mac�doniens des Grecs' commonly known as 'Histoire Ancienne' published in Paris between 1730 and 1738 in 13 volumes was his greatest contribution to scholarship and a success too. His other great work the 'Histoire Romaine' appeared in Paris 1738-1748. Rollin's historical works are now considered compilatory uncritical and somewhat inaccurate. His 'Histoire Ancienne' was translated into German Italian Dutch and English. Especially the English translation proved a tremendous success.

Engraved title depicting some mythological figures and a small portrait of Alexander the Great Condition: Vellum age-toned. Front flyleaf gone. Three pinpoint holes on the rear joint. A small tear in lower margin of title which is thumbed. Paper foxed and with some brown stains. One old ink annotation Note: The German humanist diplomat and historian Johannes Sleidanus Sledanus Sleidan was born between 1506 and 1508 in Schleiden hence his name a city South of Cologne. He is best known for his 'De statu religionis et reipublicae Carolo Quinto Caesare Commentarii' published in 1555 which made him the historian of the Reformation. It was so impartial that it pleased no one. The book was placed by the pope on the Index and the Lutherans were not pleased either. Still it remains the most valuable contemporary history of the times of the Reformation and it contains the largest collection of important documents. Less controversial is Sleidanus world history 'De quatuor summis imperiis babylonico persico graeco et romano' published in the year of his death 1556. NDB 24 499/500 The idea of four empires is an old one. In the Old Testament an angel tells Daniel who was in slavery in Babylon how to interpret a dream he had. Daniel had dreamed of a winged lion a ferocious bear a panther with four wings and four heads and an unnamed alien monster with iron teeth that devoured everything. The angel: 'These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth'. On the day of judgement the last of the four kings will lose his power and will vanish and the kingdom will be given to the saints. Late medieval exegesis explained the fours beasts as follows the lion was the Babylonian kingdom the bear was identified as the dominion of Persia and the winged panther was the reign of Alexander and his diadochi. The beast with the iron teeth was the Roman empire. All these kingdoms stood on feet of clay. As the divine vision of Daniel provided only for four kingdoms the Holy Roman Empire of Sleidanus' days had to be a continuation of the Roman Empire of the past. The German emperors with the divine legitimation of the Bible continuated merely the Roman empire. Sleidanus' historical chronicle is based on the order as revealed in Daniel's vision. 'His concern is the historical legitimation of the German imperial reign through its continuity with the Roman empire'. He thus gave biblical dignity to the German imperial constitution and thus legitimated the protestant Reformation. W. Schmidt-Biggemann 'Philosophia perennis: Historical Outlines of Western Spirituality in Ancient Medieval and Early Modern Thought' Dordrecht 2004 p. 399-400 This world history of Sleidanus was immensely influential. In the next 150 years more than 60 editions were published. Sleidanus succeeded in creating with both his historical works a common historic identity for the protestants in a hitherto Catholic world. History had at the beginning of the Reformation to be repossessed and rewritten to underline the Protestant claim for legitimacy and authority. His History of the four Empires contained enough condemnations of the popes to suit the taste of his public. This undated Janssonius edition is probably a pirate edition of an Elzevier production published between 1631 and 1664 the year Janssonius died.

It 'covers the complete training of the orator from the earliest preparation by the grammarian to his most mature aspirations for oratorical preeminence'. The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 827 The ideal was a public speaker who was skilled not only in eloquence but who was also a good man. This is summarized in the famous maxim that an orator is a 'vir bonus dicendi peritus'. Quintilian still makes all that has been written on education from Rousseau to the latest pseudo-psychologist rather worthless. H.J. Rose A handbook of Latin literature London 1967 p. 399 'Book 1 discusses childhood education. . In book 2 the boy enters the school of rhetoric'. In book 3 follows an account of the art of rhetoric 'its origin its parts and its functions. Book 4-6 deal with the detailed structure of a speech .

The concluding book shows the complete Orator in action a man of highest character and ideals . Roman gravitas at its noblest'. OCD 2nd ed. p. 907 The 19 'Declamationes maiores' which have come down to us under the name of Quintilian are certainly not his work. The 'Declamationes minores' a corpus of 145 smaller rhetorical exercises are probably the work of a contemporary rhetorician. � The 'Institutio Oratoria' of Quintilian was known throughout the Middle Ages especially in the summarizing works of the encyclopedists like Cassiodorus and Isidorus of Sevilla. In 1416 the Italian humanist Poggio Bracciolini discovered in Sankt Gallen a complete text after which Quintilian came 'to exert a deep and lasting influence on rhetorical theory and practice'. The Classical Tradition p. 829 The treatise influenced authors like Erasmus and Vives. The humanist Poliziano lectured on him and Lorenzo Valla preferred him to Cicero. His ideas were absorbed by Piccolomini Agricola Erasmus De pueris instituendis and Melanchthon. He was also used by Ben Jonson Discoveries Alexander Pope Essay on criticism Du Bos and Goethe. 'Seine Wirkung geht mit der Verfehmung der Rhetorik im 19. Jh. zur�ck doch bleibt Quintilian eine respektierte Gr�sse bis heute'.

He must have been a young scholar of some promise for the Dutch professor Gerard Vossius who endeavoured to find publishers for his works failed to gain him a professorship in the Netherlands. He then went to Kaiserslautern and founded there a Latin School but not yet 30 years old he was in 1635 murdered at the occupation of that city by soldiers or stabbed by a gang of brigands.

‎Marciani Heracleotae PERI�G�SIS seu Orbis descriptio cum interpretatione latina ad verbum & notis Erasmi Pauli F. Vindingii.‎

‎Copenhagen Hafniae Literis Henrici G�diani Reg. & Academ. typographi 1662. 8vo. I301;36 leaves. Calf 15 cm Ref: Hoffmann 2580; Schweiger 1204; Graesse 4384; Ebert 13049; Brunet 31403 Details: Back skillfully repaired in antique style with 5 raised bands. Boards with double fillet gilt borders. Marbled endpapers Condition: Edges of boards worn corners bumped. A bookplate on the front pastedown Note: The Periegesis ad Nicomedem regem is a didacted poem in iambic verse that is falsely attributed here to the ancient geographer Marcianus Heracleota Heracleensis and that was later known though again without any foundation under the name of Scymnus Chius. Nowadays it goes under the name of Pseudo-Scymnus. Marcianus Heracleota lived in the 5th century A.D. The poem is dedicated to Nicomedes king of Bithynia. This is probably Nicomedes III a monarch who reigned from 91 to 76 B.C. Scymnus of Chios lived before Nicomedes III. What is left of the poem was first published in 1600. This 1662 edition numbers 746 verses. The edition of Meineke of 1846 already numbered 978 verses and the edition of Diller of 1952 has 1026 verses. The portions that have been preserved contain the introduction together with a description of the coastal areas of Europe. The information it offers is based on the ancient geographers Theopompus and Ephorus and gives a picture of the Hellenic oikumene. The book was designed as a popular compendium for general use. 'But while its writer gives a long list of authors whom he had consulted or professed to consult he was wholly without the critical skill to compare and discriminate between his different authorities or to discard the statements of earlier writers which the progress of geographical knowledge had shown to be erroneous. . The consequence is that his book in stead of representing the state of geographical knowledge in his own day is a jumble of confused statements belonging to wholly different periods. By far its greatest value at the present day arises from the notices . concerning the foundation of the different Greek colonies and cities on the coast of the Mediterranean'. E.H. Bunbury A history of ancient geography London 1879 vol. 2 p. 71 � The Danish editor Paulus Vindingius acknowledges at the beginning of his commentary that the Periegesis can not be the work of Marcianus Heracleota to whom the Codex Palatinus wrongly attributes the work. A vetus scriptor wrote this poem at least 425 years before Marcianus Heracleota he argues and no author of that name was known in the 2nd century B.C. Vindingius cannot agree with Holstenius 1630 that the author is Scymnus of Chios. Why the poem is nevertheless presented on the title-page under the name of Marcianus Heracleota is a riddle. � The Danish scholar Rasmus Vinding latinized Erasmus Vindingius Pauli Filius 1615-1684 was since 1648 professor of Greek at the University of Copenhagen Wikipedia German edition Rasmus Vinding Provenance: Woodcut bookplate Ex libris M.A. Elton of the English book collector Mary Augusta Strachey Elton 1838-1914 pasted on the front pastedown.

‎Dictata Viri Celeberrimi atque Clarissimi J.F. Reitzii in Nieupoortii Compendium Antiquitatum Romanarum.‎

‎No place no date. 4to. 644 p. Half calf 21.5 cm Ref: Haitsma Mulier 352 Details: 18th century manuscript lecture notes of an anonymous written in Latin in a fair copy book. The hand is clear even pleasant and legible. The text is mostly written on the recto side of the leaves. The back of the binding is richly gilt and has 5 raised bands. The shield in the second compartment reads: 'Cl. Reitzii in Nieup. Antiq. Rom. Dictata' Condition: Back somewhat rubbed. Foot of the spine slightly damaged. Paper on both boards completely gone Note: This manuscript contains the college notes of Johann Friedrich Reitz Johannes Fredericus Reitzius which were to accompany his lectures on Roman Antiquities based on Nieupoort's manual of Roman antiquities 'Rituum qui olim apud Romanos obtinuerunt succincta explicatio ad intelligentiam veterum auctorum facili methodo conscripta'. Nieupoort's book is in the title of this manuscript indicated as 'Nieupoortii Compendium Antiquitatum Romanarum'. The notes follow closely the chapters and paragraphs of Nieupoort. � The Dutch jurist and ancient historian Willem Hendrik Nieupoort 1670/1674-1724 earned his keep as self-supporting teacher in Utrecht with private tuition. He is remembered for his 'Rituum . succincta explicatio' which was first published in 1712. Nieupoort published during his lifetime in 1716 and in 1723 a second and third corrected edition. An enlarged and corrected 4th and 5th edition appeared in 1734 and in 1747 both produced by the Dutch schoolmaster of German origin Wilhelm Otto Reitz first praeceptor at the Erasmianum at Rotterdam and then rector of the Schola Latina at Middelburg. For the 5th and for the 6th enlarged edition of 1774 Reitz received help from his elder brother Johann Friedrich Reitz 1695-1778 who had studied at Utrecht became conrector/rector of the local Schola Latina and was the last 30 years of his life 1748-1778 professor of History and Eloquence in the University of Utrecht. He is best known for his edition of Lucian which begun by Hemsterhuis he completed in 1743. Sandys 2453 � In the 18th century and well into the 19th century Nieupoort's manual was a classic. It saw dozens of reissues in Holland in Germany and Italy and was translated into French and Portuguese. 'Explication abreg�e des coutumes et c�r�monies observ�es chez les Romains : pour faciliter l'intelligence des anciens auteurs' & 'Usos e costumes dos Romanos por Nieupoort : versao feita sobre o original Latino acompanhada de notas e da traduccao dos termos Grecos' A contemporary review of the 4th edition of 1734 stresses the advantages of Nieupoort's 'Rituum . succinta explicatio'. There are many learned introductions to the Antiquities of Rome it is stated but most of them are too long too chaotic and complex and too overloaded with an '�talage d'�rudition'. 'L'exp�rience fait assez voir que pour lire avec fruit & avec plaisir les anciens auteurs Latin & Grecs il faut avoir au moins une id�e g�n�rale de la R�publique Romaine de ses Magistrats Politiques & Militaires de la Religion des Romains de leurs Loix de leurs Rites de leurs Usages de leurs Co�tumes tant pour la Vie Publique que pour la Vie Priv�e . Sans cela on est arr�t� � tout moment ou bien on croit entendre ce que l'on n'entend pas & l'on se fait de fausses id�es en jugeant des anciens tems par les n�tres'. Nieupoort has succeeded brilliantly in reducing that complicated jumble of Roman history religion and antiquities into a summary 'qui pussent �tre l�s en peu de tems'. And his clear survey improved with every new edition the reviewer adds. 'Biblioth�que raisonn�e des ouvrages des savans de l'Europe' Tome 17/1 Amsterdam 1736 p. 370-376 � Who this fair copy wrote probably somewhere between 1748 and 1778 is not clear. Probably not Reitz for it seems unlikely that he would have called himself in the 'title' 'vir celeberrimus atque clarissimus'. If he had done so he would have called his remarks 'observationes' or the like and not 'dictata'. Furthermore the notes of Reitz do not as far as we have seen appear in the printed text of the 5th 6th or 7th edition hardcover‎

‎De particulis latinae orationis libellus authore Horatio Tursellino Romano e Societate Iesu. Cui Index graecarum latinarum & italicarum vocum locupletissimus praeponitur. Postrema editio summa cum diligentia ab infinitis mendis expurgata.‎

‎Milan Mediolani Apud Impress. Archiepisc. 1643. 12mo. 27684 indices p. Limp vellum 15 cm Ref: cf. Brunet 5987; cf. Graesse 6/2216 Details: Woodcut printer's mark on the title it depicts a phoenix which emerges from the flames that come from an round amphora with the initials H.P.P; The amphora is supported by two winged satyrs; the motto is: 'Dela mia morte eterna vita i vivo: semper eadem' Condition: Vellum age-tanned somewhat wavy and soiled. This piece of vellum originates probably from an earlier document. Manuscript title on the back; faint ink on the upper board. Lower board scratched. One paper repair in the index. Both flyleaves removed Note: This booklet 'de ratione colligandi connectendique inter se membra & quasi artus orationis' brought the author the fame he hoped for. Every classical scholar knows Tursellinus that is to say he/she knows and sometimes uses: 'Tursellinus seu de particulis Latinis commentarii' published by the German scholar Ferdinand Gotthelf Hand Leipzig 1829-1845 and reprinted one and a half century later by Hakkert in 1969. This is a very expanded 4 volume adaptation/revision of 'De particulis latinae orationis' published by the Italian Jesuit scholar Orazio Torsellini or Orazio Torsellino or Horatius Tursellinus 1545-1599 for the first time in Rome in 1598. In the short introduction to this edition of 1598 Tursellinus expresses the hope that this book will bring him fame. He cites Vergil's Georgica 46 comparing the art of coherent and polished eloquence with the work of bees: 'In tenui labor; at tenuis non gloria' 'Slight is the field of toil; but not slight the glory'. Translation from the Loeb edition by Fairclough. If you really want praise Tursellinus says for polished speech take care that all parts of it are used as smoothly and and fluently as the joints and the muscles of the body. If you do it right 'Eloquentiae succus sanguis color & quasi robur accedet'. This work offers the student of eloquence the means to speak coherently by the correct use of those small particles and adverbs which glue his speech together. Tursellinus begins with the many uses of 'a vel ab' and ends with 'utique'. A later editor compared the 'particulae' with the 'fibulae' and girdles which are necessary for the 'decora compositio' of our clothes. Tursellinus is highly praised by Sandys. 'It was an exceptional indication of an interest in accurate scholarship in Italy when a treatise on the Latin particles prepared by the Italian Jesuit Horatius Tursellinus b. 1545 was printed at Mainz in 1602 sic! as the first of all the precursors of the elaborate edition published by Hand three centuries after the birth of the original author'. Sandys A History of Classical Scholarship vol. 2 p. 369 Not much is known about Tursellinus. He taught at several Jesuit Colleges in Italy and lectured for 20 year at the 'Collegium Romanum' in Rome. His most important works are a biography of the Jesuit missionary Franciscus Xaverius published in 1596 and a universal history 'Epitome Historiarum libri X' which treated in 10 books the complete history from Adam till 1598 and which remained popular for centuries on schools and universities. For a long time it was used even at the protestant universities in the Dutch republic. 'De particulis' was a tremendous success. A quick search yielded corrected revised and augmented editions in 1599 1602 1611 1618 1619 1643 1648 1651 1657 1663 1682 1689 1701 1703 1709 1713 1719 1724 1734 1750 1751 1769. This Milanese edition of 1643 seems to be rare for we found only one copy in the Catalogo del Servizio Bibliotecario Nazionale.

Aristaenetus is the established name of the author of a collection of love letters in two books probably from the beginning of the 6th century AD. It survives only in one Codex of which the first folio with the name of the real author is lacking. Aristaenetus Bestpraiseworthy is only applied to the sender of the first letter. This is clearly a case of an imaginary letter-writer. The sources used are Plato Menander Lucianus Alciphron Philostratus the ancient novels and love elegies of Callimachus. Aristaenetus draws however in a conventional way a veil over too explicit love-making. The collection is a kind of survey of erotic motives in the literature of Greece and Rome. Everyting erotic however is covered with a veil of prudery. Aristaenetus ends after some cuddling before the bedroom is entered. Neue Pauly 11087 The collection was allready attributed to Aristaenetus in the 'editio princeps' of Antwerp 1566 edited by J. Sambucus. An edition with a Latin translation was published in 1595 in Paris by Iosias Mercier the 4th edition of which dates from 1639. Mercier was the first to observe that the first letter of the collection was imagined to have been written by one Aristaenetus and that the collection belonged to the genre of imaginative epistolography. Aristaenetus had to wait almost a century for the next edition which appeared in 1736 in Utrecht produced by Jacobus van Lanckom. Exactly the same edition was brought on the market by the Utrecht publisher Hermannus Besseling only the impressum on the title differs the rest is exactly the same. It was said that Aristaenetus was put to sleep in the commentary of Pauw. A revised edition was published in Zwolle in 1749. 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 Provenance: On the front flyleaf a stamp: 'Prof.Dr. Joh. Irmscher Berlin NO 55 Erich-Weinert-Strasse 126'. Johannes Irmscher born in Dresden 1920 was a classical philologist and byzantine scholar who made his carreer in the DDR. He died in 2000.

Wandelaar Condition: Vellum age-tanned. Both pastedown detached. Right margin slightly thumbed. Engraved title coloured with watercolours. Some old ink underlinings. Faintly waterstained Note: This booklet was produced for schoolboys and educated men able to read Latin but not to be bothered with philological niceties. The Wetsteins had already published an important Horace edition of the English genius Richard Bentley for scholars in Amsterdam in 1713. In a short note p. 5 the 'typographus' Wetstein tells the reader that this booklet offers all that is to be desired for little money paucis accipe. The odes he says are preceded sometimes by an indication of the metre 'ex mente A. Manutii' to make scansion especially for schoolboys tirones easy. For the constitution of the text he follows Daniel Heinsius and Tanaquil Faber. The 'variae lectiones' of Richard Bentley are printed in the lower margins to enable the reader to choose for himself. � The works of the Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus 65-8 B.C. have enjoyed a continuous presence in European culture. Till well into the 20th century he stood central in school curricula. Earlier in the Middle Ages he was next to Vergil the most important school author. Horace is transmitted in around 300 medieval manuscripts. The Renaissance saw the beginning of a flood of editions. 'For Neo-latin poetry until modern times and for all the vernacular literature of Europe from the 16th through the 18th centuries Horace provided the dominant model both for private lyrics celebrating wine and love and for public lyrics celebrating affairs of state'. Young poets used Horace to learn the trade. 'Horace's elegant rationalism and moral wisdom and also his disabused and tolerant tone made his poems favorite reading during the Enlightenment'.

The date on the title of this second edition of the letters of Aristaenetus is indicated as MVIC. We found in KVK Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog records of this title dated 1594 1596 and 1600. 1594 is definitely wrong for the Parisian printer Orry published the first edition of this title in 1595 indicated by him as MDLXXXXV and he repeated it the next year now with MDXXXXVI. The third edition was published in 1610 with the date MCX. As the second edition cannot preceed the first edition of 1595 and its repetition of 1596 this second edition comes between 1596 and 1610 so these very unusual Roman numerals MVID 1000 6 500 might well mean 1600. � 2 thongs laced through the joints.

This 1648 edition is a reissue of a Parisian edition of 1622/24: 'Homeri poemata duo Ilias et Odyssea sive Ulyssea. Alia item carmina eiusdem . Cum interpretatione lat. Accedunt Homerici centones et proverbialium Homeri versuum libellus. Editio postrema diligenter recognita par I.T.P.'. Who this I.T.P. or J.T.P. was no bibliographer has found out so far. What his editorial contribution was no one knows and has not yet been investigated. He is possibly a Frenchman. All bibliographers agree that this Parisian edition was a repetition of still an earlier 2 volume edition which came from the presses of the famous French scholar and printer Henricus Stephanus the Second in 1588: 'Homeri Ilias et Odyssea alia item carmina eiusdem cum interpretatione latina repurgata plurimis erroribus partim ab Henrico Stephano. Adiecti Homeric centones item proverbialium versuum libellus'. The Latin translation of Homer was made by the Cretan Greek scholar Franciscus Portus 1511-1581. He taught Greek at Ferrara and had to leave for Geneva in 1559 owing to his sympathy with the cause of Reformation. Dibdin notes that his translation was 'not remarkable for its accuracy'. For the good things in the Greek text the credits were given to Henry Estienne or in Latin Henricus Stephanus 1531-1598. 'He will always be numbered among the principal editors of Homer' Dibdin concludes. For the weaknesses in the text it is explained that the great scholar was at the time absent from the office/printshop and that part of it was printed without his superintendence. The Stephanus text of Homer became a kind of standard text in the Netherlands and in Britain. There was another 2 volume reissue published in Amsterdam by Ravestein 1650. This 1648 Odyssey edition on offer further contains the 'Batrachomyomachia' and the 'Homeric hymns' but also the so-called 'Homeric centones' a work composed in late antiquity.

Old ownership entry on the front pastedown Note: The Dutch classical scholar of Flemish origin Daniel Heinsius 1580-1655 who enjoyed an international reputation as an editor of classical texts theorist of literary criticism historian and neolatin poet was professor of Poetics at the University of Leiden since 1603 extraordinarius Greek since 1605. After the death of J.J. Scaliger to whose inner circle he belonged he held the chair of Greek from 1609 till 1647. His activities have been obscured to later generations by the very bulk and variety of his activities. He is still remembered for his neolatin poetry and for his edition of Aristotle's treatise on poetry 1611 which he studied in connexion with the 'Ars Poetica' of Horace. This edition is 'the only considerable contribution to the criticism and eludication of the work that was ever produced in the Netherlands. . In his pamphlet 'De tragoediae Constitutione' published in the same year 1611 he deals with all the essential points in Aristotle's treatise giving proof that he has thoroughly imbibed the author's spirit'. J.E. Sandys 'A history of classical scholarship N.Y. 1964 vol. 2 p. 314 Heinsius was an inspiring teacher and a talented speaker. 'His courses in the University were so impressive that his colleagues attended his lectures . As an ornament in which the University took especial pride his eloquence graced many public functions. Heinsius composed not only the funeral orations for Philip Cluverius and for Reinerus Bontius Professor of Medicin in 1623 but delivered on 19 September 1625 a 'stupenda oratio' on the death of Prince Maurice for which he received an award of 200 guilders'. Sellin P.R. 'Daniel Heinsius and Stuart England' Leiden etc. 1968 p. 36 The first edition of collected orations 12 of them was published in 1612. The second augmented edition came in 1615. Demand for more orations arose and 1620 saw another augmented edition augmented further in 1627 this edition. This edition naturally opens with this stupendous oration on the death of Prince Maurice followed of course by that other oratorical firework his funeral speech for his beloved master the French scholar Joseph Justus Scaliger a still glowing jewel of the University who died in Leiden in 1609.
