Gift inscription from author to Sister Marie Therese. ; The last decade has seen a renewal of interest in the works of Erasmus. Much has been written on the educational and editorial writings of that great humanist of the northern Renaissance, but relatively little on his fictional work. This book deals with the fiction of Erasmus and what it contains of instruction and delight. The attention of the study is focused primarily on the four satiric works: The Praise of Folly, the Colloquies, Julius Secundus, exclusus, and Ciceronianus, although the author, in the process of analyzing and appraising, looked for analogues and explanations in the educational exegetical works. Three aspects of Erasmus' thought are considered. The first is his insistence on man's capacity for betterment through good teaching -- the formal teaching of a preceptor, or the incidental teaching of a good satirist or storyteller. The second is his notion of what man is and to what end he is to be educated. (Man is, of course, bent to knowledge and virtue, but one cannot afford to be too simple in one's appraisal of Erasmus' moral emphases -- the moral life involves both doer and spectator and is strongly dependent on the thinking process, although not divorced from the act of willing, and, activated by faith and the grace of God, is never far removed from creed and devotion. ) The third aspect is Erasmus' special use of irony -- an irony both dramatic and satiric --subtle and various, and doubly pronged so that it punctures what it praises but also questions the too obvious alternative, and leaves the reader pondering the whereabouts of the right and the perimeters of truth. To quote the author: 'It seems to me that the fictional works are the exempla that give life and specificity to the great theories of a great man, and a study of them should not be without interest.' ; Erasmus studies; 198 pages; Signed by Author

19931 corner very lightly bumped. ; Critical editions of most classical authors are based on readings transmitted by medieval scholars that can be examined and collated. Modern editions of Petronius, on the other hand, are principally based on printed editions, most of them published in France during the sixteenth century. In this volume T. Wade Richardson considers the use made of the Petronius manuscripts then extant by seven French humanist editors for their various editions, commentaries, and notes. Some of the manuscripts they used may be equated with extant exemplars, which therefore serve as a good check on the quality of their readings. But as much as half of the text rests on the sixteenth-century witness alone. Through a broad and integrated study of the problems of the Petronius text the author attempts to unravel the tangled skein of humanist work on Petronius, to settle some of the old textual puzzles, and to solidify the text and recast the apparatus. Richardson also provides information on the codicology and palaeography of the texts and on the talents and habits of the scholars who created them. ; Phoenix Supplementary Volume; 0.84 x 9.42 x 5.98 Inches; 187 pages

Then the author makes full use of the available evidence, especially that of the papyri, to demonstrate the fresh start made by Hellenistic poets after 300 B. C. And to describe the essential achievements of five generations of creative scholars in Alexandria and of their epigoni down to the age of Augustus. ; 9.75 x 0.75 x 6.5 Inches; 311 pages

Edges decorated red. Early nineteenth century full vellum binding. Lacks front fly leaf. This second and improved Aldine edition is essentially a reprint of the edition of 1516, edited by Giovanni Battista Cipelli, called Egnazio (1478-1553), with the addition of annotations by Erasmus, which were first published in the Froben edition of 1518. Both Aldine editions contain the relevant texts of Aurelius Victor and Eutropius with the continuation by Paulus Diaconus. The full work was once the common manual of almost everyone who wished to study Roman history, and because of this long and hard use, it is extremely difficult to obtain a clean and perfect example - Renouard. This second edition is considered the more valuable, as containing an 'Index Memorabilium' and the notes of Erasmus and the Venetian philologist Joannes Baptista Egnatius (ca. 1473-1553). Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, commonly known as Suetonius (ca. 69/75-after 130). Suetonius was a close friend to Senator and letter-writer Pliny the Younger. Pliny describes him as 'quiet and studious, a man dedicated to writing'. Through Pliny, Suetonius came into favor with Trajan and Hadrian. Under Trajan he served as secretary of studies (precise functions are uncertain) and director of Imperial archives. Under Hadrian, he became the Emperor's secretary. In 122, Hadrian dismissed him for disrespectful behavior towards Empress Vibia Sabina. Suetonius may have later regained imperial favor under Hadrian and returned to his position. It was probably in Hadrian's time that he wrote his most important surviving work - this set of biographies on the Lives of the Twelve Caesars. Entitled 'De Vita Caesarum' it deals with successive Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar to Domitian. It also includes other texts on Roman history, notably Eutropius. This collection of ancient Roman historians is dedicated to the great book collector - Jean Grolier, and is followed by a letter from Erasmus commending the edition as well as Egnatius' scholarship.
