1779réf. 983821Lucian cianucian Greek Lucianos Latin Lucianus born AD 120 Samosata Commagene Syria now Samsat Tur.—died after 180 Athens Greece Danza Dialogo di Luiano con Annotazioni con annotazioni. In Firenze : nella stamperia di Gaspero Pecchioni 1779. Original edition. 8vo. Old wrappers iv 44 p. Some stains to titlepage. Very good copy. In this dialogue the Cynic Crato who has no in pantomimic dancing or those who go to see it is converted to its appreciation by his friend Lycinus. This is a translation into Italian with notes of Lucian's famous dialogue on pantomime or "tragic dancing" in ancient Greece. In "tragic" dancing a dramatic plot is enacted by a masked and costumed dancer supported by an actor. The dancer's lines are spoken for him by someone else. There is also a chorus and for accompaniment the flute and the syrinx with various instruments of percussion. The work is dedicated to Antonio Muzarelli who was ballet master at the Burgtheater in Vienna at a time when ballet was detested by Emperor Joseph II although the art form was gaining some popularity due to the reforms of Jean-Georges Noverre 29 April 1727 – 19 October 1810 the a French dancer and balletmaster generally considered the creator of ballet d'action. The dialogue was probably written in Antioch in 162–165 a.d. when the Emperor Verus was there in compliment to him because of his interest in pantomime at a time when visual art was held inferior to literary art. This work underscores the legitimacy of dance because Lucian recognizes the intellectual character of dance. He emphasizes that a dancer must be able to express his or her ideas and sentiments through the intelligibility of movement and posture. Lucian's dialogue on dancing remains popular today due to its clever dialogue and clarity of argument. Rare: two OCLC locations one in North America: NYP Pecchioni books

A vast collection assembled ca. AD 900 by the Byzantine schoolteacher Constantine Cephalas included the earlier collections as well as a large number of inscriptional epigrams collected from various parts of Greece and Asia Minor. The Palatine Anthology assembled by an unknown scholar soon after expanded Cephalas to approximately 3700 epigrams adding much Christian and ekphrastic poetry. "To this manuscript we owe almost our entire knowledge of Greek epigram from Meleager to Agathias" A.D.E. Cameron OCD 3rd ed. rev p. 102. In the 13th century the Byzantine monk Maximus Planudes produced a reduced version of the Palatine Anthology rearranging the epigrams in seven books with extensive subdivisions adding some epigrams not included by the Palatine Anthologist most of which came from a different version of Cephalas' collection but also bowdlerizing erotic passages and omitting what he considered improper. Most manuscript copies were made from the Planudean Anthology the earlier Palatine Anthology having been forgotten. Until the latter's rediscovery in 1606 the Planudean Anthology was the Greek Anthology and it exerted a huge influence throughout the Renaissance. Although Planudes' holograph manuscript was by this time in the collections of Cardinal Bessarion in Venice the Greek scholar Janus Lascaris used a different manuscript for the present edition; this version was followed by all subsequent editors until the latter half of the eighteenth century. This was the first of three editions with the Euripedes and the Gnomae printed by di Alopa in capital letters only using a striking uppercase typeface in two founts designed by Lascaris to imitate epigraphic letter-forms. As he explains in his dedicatory letter in this way he hoped to avoid the complications of reproducing Greek script. Lascaris' type contained only capital letters with breathings and accents cast and set separately and attached to the letters of the smaller fount by means of solder or wax so that its body matched perfectly that of the larger fount. Though visually arresting such a typeface proved insufficiently compact for the printing of scholia and two years later a true lowercase fount − just as complicated as those condemned by Lascaris − was introduced to print commentary for the editio princeps of the Argonautica. This copy is from the first issue containing the final unsigned quire with Lascaris' dedicatory letter in Latin to Piero de' Medici. Which was suppressed from some copies no doubt those still unsold after Piero was proscribed from Florence and fled the city following the entry of King Charles VIII on 8 November 1494.ISTC ia00765000; Goff Suppl.

Engraved title-page; Printed with Greek and Latin texts on facing pages woodcut printer's device ornaments and initials full vellum backed marble boards with leather label. Upper margin along the hinge shows a water mark in the preliminary matter o/w a very nice clean copy. Longinus was a Greek Platonic philosopher and rhetorician of the 3rd century AD. He studied in Alexandria and taught in Athens. He was beheaded by Emperor Aurelian in 273 A.D. but is remembered for his Philosophical Discourses On First Principles On the Chief End. His authorship of the present work is desputed. Praised by Dibdin and Gibbon this edition of these commentaries on The Sublime by the anonymous author known as Longinus "is one of the greatest of all critical acheievements. An illuminating dissertation on style accompanied by many penetrating judgements as well as suggestive pronouncements on critical standards and principles the treatise is unique in its interpretation of the classical spirit its compelling enthusiasms its sanity its freshness and its unerring insights into the essentials of art."OCD.
