‎"Édition originale de ce florilège de poésie grecque lyrique et élégiaque. Elle rassemble, accompagnées de biographies et de notes, des œuvres, odes, idylles, etc. d'Anacréon et Sappho, mais aussi de deux poètes moins connus, Bion de Smyrne et son disciple Moschus. Ces pièces en vers sont ici transposées en prose française par l'helléniste Julien Jacques Moutonnet Clairfons (1740-1813). Dans cet ouvrage dédié ""A Madame la Princesse de Ch****"", on remarque que le traducteur a insisté sur la parfaite orthodoxie des mœurs de la poétesse de Lesbos, celle-ci se jetant du rocher de Leucade par amour pour le bel - et biologiquement viril - indifférent, Phaon : ""Cette jalousie [des Mytiléniennes] n'auroit-elle pas donné naissance aux bruits injurieux à la mémoire de Sapho ? Comment s'imaginer, qu'elle se soit livrée à tous les excès monstrueux dont on l'accuse?"" Avant de conclure, prudent, ""Cependant les inconséquences, les bisarreries du cœur humain sont si fréquentes, que nous n'osons contredire ouvertement une tradition aussi ancienne, aussi accréditée"". Au-delà des qualités de son traducteur, c'est à son iconographie que cette anthologie poétique doit principalement sa renommée, Cohen la considérant comme ""l'un des livres les plus élégamment illustrés du XVIIIe siècle"". L'ouvrage est en effet orné de 26 gravures en taille-douce par Massard d'après Charles Eisen : un frontispice, 12 vignettes d'en tête et 13 culs-de-lampe. Le dessinateur se plaît à animer ces espaces contraints, son imagination féconde s'exprime tout particulièrement dans les culs-de lampe variés qui mêlent pour le plaisir du regardant formes chantournées et exubérantes du rocaille avec un répertoire décoratif ""à la grecque"". ""L'illustration d'Anacréon, Sapho, Bion et Moschus, moins à la mode que celle des Baisers, est tout aussi jolie, et le graveur Massard en a délicatement rendu la finesse et la grâce"" (R. Portalis, Les Dessinateurs d'illustrations au dix-huitième siècle, Paris, 1877, p. 207). Titre en rouge et noir, bandeaux et culs-de-lampe typographiques.

‎Rare first edition of the groundbreaking Anacreon-volume by H. Estienne, being the milestone publication that not only constitutes the first book by the brilliant Henri Estienne II, but also the extremely influential editio princeps of the Anacreontea. Furthermore, this groundbreaking publication contains Sappho’s now immortal Aphrodite-hymn, being the very first of any of Sappho’s poems to appear in print (here for the second time in print) as well as the magnificent “Midnight poem” (fragment 168B), establishing for the first time since antiquity the gathering together of poems by Sappho: “A momentous point in her transmission. Yet it is ironic that the first collection of a fragmentary Greek poet known and admired beyond any other today should have appeared as a mere appendix to a book dedicated to another author entirely, without even her name on the title-page.” (Cambridge Companion to Sappho, p. 251). The impact that Sappho - “mother of all women poets” - would eventually come to have upon modern poetry and society was not yet known to Estienne and his contemporaries, for whom she was more or less unknown. Estienne, however, recognized the value of the poems of hers that he had encountered and with the publication of them in the present volume began a tradition that would eventually cause her to become arguably the most celebrated Greek poet of all time. “Estienne’s edition of Anacreon’s poetry was enthusiastically received by the Pléiade poets, which considerably boosted Sappho’s influence on western European literature”. (van Dijk: I Have Heard about You, p. 37). This beautifully printed slim volume constitutes an outright Renaissance sensation. “The “Anacreaonta” became the most influential “ancient” Greek poetic text during the Renaissance, and Estienne’s “editio princeps” virtually caused a poetic revolution, not only in France, but also in Italy and Germany – where this influence culminated in the 18th century with the Anacreontic Poets (“Die Anakreontiker”).” (Schreiber 139). Henri Estienne II – “in many ways the greatest member of the Estienne dynasty, and most certainly its most prolific scholar” (Schreiber) - had travelled extensively through Italy, the Low Countries, and England, in search of Greek manuscripts. It is from one of these that he had printed (possibly by Guillaume Morel) his first book, this editio princeps of the Anacreaontea, which is thus also the first book to bear his imprint. Henri Estienne, along with his contemporaries, believed the work to contain the ancient Greek lyrics of the poet Anakreon (6th century BC), whose poems, are not extant, except for some short fragments. In fact, the poems contained in this volume constitute the Anacreontea, which is a collection of Greek lyric poems written in the style and imitation of Anacreon, at various dates. “Henri’s publication of these “ancient” Greek lyrics caused an immediate literary sensation in France, and was celebrated and immortalized by Ronsard, in an oft-quoted passage of his “Odes”.” (Schreiber). Henri Estienne started out his publishing career with this magnificent publication that catapulted him into fame, and he went on to become one of the most influential literary and scholarly figures of the second half of the 16th century in Europe" he dominated Renaissance scholarship with his magnificent publications and has arguably not been superseded by any publisher since. The young Henri Estienne had discovered the present poems in Louvain, in a manuscript owned by an Englishman named John Clements, who was a friend of Thomas More. Their publication “was a sensation of the first class and the starting-point for a new branch of modern literature” (R. Pfeiffer: History of Classical Scholarship”, p. 109). “This first edition was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm by the members of the Pléiade, who, like everyone else, believed the poems genuine, and each of whom immediately translated or imitated some of the “Anacreontea”.” (Schreiber). The poems may not have been “genuine” Anacreon-poems, but the influence that the publication of them came to exercise was no less profound than had they been" the mark they have left of modern literature is difficult to compare to anything else. The printing of the original Greek text, in all three sizes of the magnificent “grecs du roi”-type, is followed by the first Latin translation of the poems, done by Estienne himself, and by Estienne’s own commentary. The text of this editio princeps has been followed by almost every subsequent editor, and today the name Anacreon cannot be mentioned without thinking of Estienne. After the Anacreon-poems themselves, are two leaves containing first, poems by Alkaios, and second, the two famous poems by Sappho: The Ode to Aphrodite (fragment 1) and the Midnight Poem (fragment 168B, also known as “The Moon Sets”), constituting a momentous point in the Sappho-transmission, namely the first time since antiquity that anyone had gathered together poems by her. Soon after, more Sappho-collections would appear causing her to eventually become the most admired Greek poet. “In a recent article, R. Aulotte… shows how Sappho’s influence on the poets dates from the time when Henri Estienne published the odes then known along with his famous edition of Anacreon. His first edition, published in 1554, contained the “Ode to Aphrodite” and the fragment “The Moon has Set”.” (Mary Morrison: Henri Estienne and Sappho, in: Bibliothèque d’Humanisme et Renaissance T.24, N.2 (1962), p. 388). ""From time immemorial women poets have had only one norm, one touchstone: Sappho, the legendary woman poet who lived on the island of Lesbos in the Aegean sea in the 6th century BC. … The Sappho figure is the peg on which views of female poetic genious and female sexuality have been hung, century after century.” (Suzanne van Dijk: I Have Heard about You…, p. (35) ). Dibdin I: 258 (“A beautiful and rare edition”)" Schreiber: 139 Renouard: 115.‎

Imbued with delicacy and grace these works come down to us only in fragments quoted by other authors or in the derived form of imitators and they did not find their way into print until after the middle of the 16th century. Produced by Giambattista Bodoni 1740-1813 the most celebrated European printer of his era this remarkable piece of work is called "magnificent" by Brooks and Dibdin says that a "more elegant and exquisitely finished production . . . cannot be conceived." The appearance of the page printed only with capitals and offered here in a copy with vast margins is simply as stately and powerful as one could ever hope for. Bodoni was not only a great printer but also the most important type designer and punchcutter in Italy during his day. He was responsible for some of the most graceful and immaculate books to be printed during the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century and the present item is certainly to be counted among his most beautiful productions. The present copy has a distinguished provenance. Charles C. Kalbfleisch was a discriminating American collector whose library featured a great many beautiful bindings and who was known for choosing only the finest copies available. Parke-Bernet sold much of his collection in January of 1944 in a sale entitled "The Arts of the Book . . . The Splendid Library Formed by the Late Charles C. Kalbfleisch New York." Hugh Morriston Davies 1879-1965 was a pioneering surgeon known as "The Doyen of Thoracic Surgery" who collected fine bindings especially those of the 18th century. Charles Whibley 1859-1930 authored important books and wrote popular periodical columns of literary interest edited a number of works in the substantial and distinguished "Tudor Translations" series was at the center of a British literary circle with links to the Symbolist poets of France and made an enormous contribution to literature by recommending T. S. Eliot to Faber & Faber. Ex Regio Typographeio unknown‎

Charles Eisen 1720-78 was Louis XV's court painter as well as drawing master to Madame de Pompadour. Bryan says that "almost all the important books published in France in his time contain his exquisite plates" which "he engraved with a light point and with striking originality." He "took his inspirations direct from nature but added something of the ideal after the manner of Watteau and Boucher." The text contains biographies of and works by four important Greek poets: Anacreon sixth century B.C. Sappho b. ca. 612 B.C. Bion third century B.C. and Moschus second century B.C. The binding here is a perfect example of the kind of handsomely done French classical work produced for an extended period under the name of Chambolle. A rough contemporary of and certainly the equal in technique to binders like Trautz Marius Michel père Lortic and Cuzin the elder Chambolle served his apprenticeship under Hippolyte Duru and later formed a partnership with him as is clear from the stamped signature on our volume. Chambolle's son continued the business when his father retired in 1898 and in her "Modern Bookbindings" Sarah Prideaux says of her contemporary "Chambolle most worthily continues the traditions associated with the name of his father. . . . To him are confided the classics of former times which he clothes in the styles appropriate to them keeping to a simplicity of ornamentation which reveals great taste and feeling for composition.".

‎Scarce second edition of Elie André’s seminal Latin translation of the Anacreontea – the first complete - which itself is a classic in the history of classical literature. It came to directly influence all later readings of Anacreon. In 1554, Henri Estienne II published the seminal editio princeps of Anacreon, which is no less than an outright Renaissance sensation, causing the “Anacreaonta” to become the most influential “ancient” Greek poetic text during the Renaissance, initiating a poetic revolution in Europe. Simultaneously with this editio princeps, Henri Estienne published his own Latin translation of it, which constitutes the first translation into Latin. Merely a year later, in 1555, Elie André extremely important translation of the Anacreaontea appeared, in 1555, printed by Thomas Richard. This translation included additional Odes not in the Estienne edition and was thus the first complete Latin translation of the “Anacreontia”. The following year, 1556, Robert Estienne II published his first work, namely a second edition of the original Greek Anacreontea that Henri Estienne had published in 1554. Silmultaneously, Robert Estienne republished Elie André’s Latin translation, which was published separately, but which is often found together with the 1556 second edition of the Greek Anacreontea. “The first full translation of CA was again in Latin. It was published by the humanist Elie André (1509-1587) from Bordeaux, who was friendly with the Parisian circle around the Pléiade. André’s translation appeared less than a year after Estienne’s edition and comprised the Latin translation only, without the Greek text. In a way, this can be taken as a signal that the Latin tradition was coming into its own. Accordingly, André makes some bolder choices in his translation, which already shows in his first lines (see Aiijr): Cantare nunc Atridas, Nunc expetesso Cadmum: Testudo vero nervis Solum refert Amorem (…). In classical Latin, the verb expetessere is used only by Plautus (and it is extremely rare in postclassical Latin). This brings a somewhat odd ring of comedy to the poem. Here, and in a number of other places, the translator wishes to strike his readers with an unusual turn of phrase or by some sort of amplification. He does not just imitate ‘Anacreon’, but also competes with him (as arguably with Estienne’s translation). André’s willingness to adapt the original text shows also in a certain moralistic tendency not otherwise seen in Latin translations. On the one hand, he openly and avowedly changes the text when it comes to unequivocal references to homosexuality: in CA 12 (10).8-10 (τ? µευ καλ?ν ?νε?ρων […] ?φ?ρπασας Β?θυλλον “Why from my sweet dreams […] have you snatched away Bathyllus?”), for instance, he replaces Bathyllus with a puella (Cur mane somnianti / Ista loquacitate / Mihi eripis puellam?),… in CA 29 (17).1-2 (Γρ?φε µοι Β?θυλλον ο?τω / τ?ν ?τα?ρον ?ς διδ?σκω, “Paint for me thus Bathyllus, my lover, just as I instruct you”) he simply suppresses the word ?τα?ρον, “lover” (Mihi pinge sic Bathyllum / ... Estienne’s translation is: Meos Bathyllum amores, / Ut te docebo pinge). Here, André proceeds in a way similar to the original Neo-Latin Anacreontics, in which homosexual love simply does not occur. On the other hand, André makes generous use of a metatextual element which is less conspicuous than his changes, but is even more extensive and significant. He includes a considerable number of passages in quotation marks and thus identifies them as sort of sententiae. In CA 4 (32), for instance, lines 1-6 describe how the poet wishes to lie down on myrtles, drink, and have Eros as his wine steward. This description of a specific setting is followed by some more general lines about the brevity of life, which André includes in quotation marks (lines 7- 10): “Cita nanque currit aetas, / Rota ceu voluta currus. / Sed et ossibus solutis / Iaceam cinis necesse est” (“For hurried life runs along just like a rolling wheel, but I shall soon lie, a bit of dust from crumbling bones”). The focus of this quotation technique is on lines concerned with the transitory nature of life, the uncertainness of tomorrow, and the futility of riches. By marking out such lines as sententiae, André distinguishes Anacreon the philosopher from Anacreon the drinker and lover and contributes to a larger discourse about the morality of the poet and his poems. While opinions in antiquity were often critical of Anacreon’s morals, ‘Anacreon’s’ large flock of modern imitators was united to defend their hero’s virtue. From Estienne’s preface onwards they usually referred to Plato’s Phaedrus 235c, where Socrates calls Anacreon “wise” (σοφ?ς) in matters concerned with Eros. In the 18th century, Anacreon, the philosopher, could even turn into a key-image of enligthened discourses. André’s identification of sententiae in ‘Anacreon’ prepared for this development and could have had a direct influence on it since his translation was widely read until well into the 18th century. The Latin translations of Estienne and André soon became classics in themselves and were the most successful ones in the early modern period.” (Tilg: Neo-Latin Anacreontic Poetry.
