In essence it was a large pawn-broking scheme which provided 'relief of the industrious poor by assisting them with small sums upon pledges at legal interest'. Corruption and fraud were soon associated with the organisation with Smollett calling it a 'nefarious corporation'. The scheme collapsed in 1731." quoted from a RBH listing. Printed for A.

1491Best.-Nr. ABC_49700Colophon: Venice 1491. Folio. Bernardinus Benalius & Matteo Capcasa 19th-century gold- and blind-tooled half brown morocco and marbled paper sides with the author title and impressum lettered in gold. 48 ll. First incunable edition that brings together the Renaissance commentaries of Johannes Britannicus ca. 1450-1518 and Bartholomaeus Fontius 1446-1513 this printing of the Satires of Aulus Persius Flaccus 34-62 CE presents one of the most challenging and intellectually demanding works of Roman satire. The joint appearance of these commentaries marks a decisive moment in the reception of Persius as they soon became the standard interpretative apparatus for his work throughout the late 15th and early 16th centuries.Persius satirised Stoic ethics and literary style criticised the practice of asking the gods for material gain and challenged contemporary views on life goals and freedom all set against the decadence and corruption of Neros court in Rome. Although influenced by the satires of Lucilius and Horace Persius calm earnest and didactic approach lends his work a subtle depth often absent from that of his predecessors. He died prematurely leaving his satires unfinished however they were subsequently edited and arranged by his friends Cornutus and Bassus. Already in antiquity the satires were renowned for their density and obscurity. While admired by writers such as Martial and Quintilian they required extensive explanation for students and readers.This need is met here by the surrounding commentaries. Britannicus a humanist from Brescia provides a predominantly grammatical and philological exposition elucidating Persius compressed syntax rare vocabulary and classical allusions. Fontius a Florentine humanist and professor of rhetoric and poetry complements this with a more philosophical and ethical interpretation clarifying Persius Stoic doctrines and moral purpose. Fontius commentary first issued separately in Florence in 1477 and revised in 1488 was instrumental in restoring Persius to the humanist curriculum.The present Venetian edition closely follows the layout and text of earlier Venetian and Trevisan printings with Fontius commentary 1480-1482 and reflects the high typographical standards of late 15th-century Venice. With some contemporary manuscript annotations commenting on the text in the margins some small shelfmark annotations on the front pastedown the boards are somewhat rubbed/shaved with a grey stain on the outer margin of leaf 35 and some slight browning and staining throughout.

Le contenu présente Jean Racine comme le maître de la tragédie classique française du XVIIe siècle dont l'œuvre révolutionne le genre en faisant des passions humaines (amour jalousie violence) le moteur principal de l'action dramatique.
