1713réf. 4638London: Printed for E. Curll 1713. ii iv 60 105 3 4 ads frontispiece. Bound without the portrait of Creech found in some copies. Contemporary Cambridge-style panelled calf red morocco label. Lightly toned some soiling. Extremities rubbed a few scrapes joints cracking at head of spine. The first edition of Creech’s translation of Theocritus by the famously unscrupulous publisher Edmund Curll following its 1684 Oxford first appearance. Curll’s edition was reissued in 1721 with a cancel title-page suggesting that it did not sell as well as Curll may have hoped. The BL copy has two engraved portraits one of Creech and one of Theocritus but the copies in Leeds and Oxford appear to have only one so it may have been issued thus. ESTC T138189. Printed for E. Curll unknown
1760réf. 4496Oxford: n. pr. 1760. 4to pp. 8 numbered 1 91-94 94 93 42. Stitched as issued sometime folded horizontally. Toned in places final page browned some spots and light soiling edges a little creased. ‘Thick’ in a small contemporary hand to top corner of first page. An unrecorded specimen for an unspecified edition of Theocritus but probably Warton’s highly regarded version issued in 1770 by the Clarendon Press. The cover title reads simply ‘Specimens of Theocritus’ but no other quarto edition of the author was published in Great Britain in the 18th century. The arrangement is unusual: the first page is the section title. The second prints the introduction and first ten lines of Idyll VI while the third page begins Idyll VI again but prints the first twelve lines this time without accents. The fourth page follows on from the text on the second now with a Latin translation at the foot in a single column. The fifth page starts Idyll VI again printing the first 12 lines without accents but omitting the scholiast’s introduction adding instead a Latin translation in two columns. The sixth page is just a Latin translation of the first thirty or so lines in one column and the seventh page contains scholia and the eighth variorum notes. Warton’s edition uses a layout similar to that on the third page here though in the published book Idyll VI appears on p. 31 and other details of typography vary; the type itself is similarly very close but with considerable variation in use of ligatures between the specimen and the published text. On the other hand Warton’s edition also does not include variorium notes and the text of the scholia there is significantly different to the specimen page. The crucial element is that Warton’s edition was notable for the absence of accents in its Greek text - testing whether such a change would work may make sense of the variations in this specimen and the variorum notes may have been cut along with portions of the scholia by the time the edition was in the press. Letters between Toup and Warton indicate that printing was underway as early as May 1768 so this specimen would likely predate that. [n. pr.] unknown

Binder’s ticket to front pastedown pencil note signed ‘TLM’ to binder’s blank about a dozen marginal corrections and annotations in an early hand in vol. 2; from the library of the Gaisford family though without mark of ownership. A very nice copy of the famous Warton Theocritus reputed to be one of the most elegant editions ever published by Oxford University’s Clarendon Press. Thomas Warton 1728-1790 Oxford Professor of Poetry and later Poet Laureate wrote satirical verse but also maintained a talent for serious scholarship earning considerable respect for his efforts in this edition: ‘a very splendid edition. every lover of Greek literature is under great obligations to the very learned and ingenious Mr. Warton for this magnificant edition of Theocritus’ Harwood quot. in Dibdin. There are also contributions from the brilliant but difficult scholar Jonathan Toup 1713-1785. Together here with Warton’s edition is an appendix separately published two years later and hence rarely found though explicitly intended to accompany the main text. This copy is elegantly bound by Johann Bohn 1757-1843 German emigre bookbinder likely c. 1810 - Bohn established himself on Frith Street in 1795 and by the late 1810s had shifted focus to bookselling and the binding was plausibly done for Thomas Gaisford 1779-1855 who reached the position of Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford in 1811. Gaisford’s bookplate is absent but the copy was among books recently dispersed by a branch of descendants and Theocritus was an author Gaisford edited for his Poetae Minores Graeci 1814-1820.

Half calf. 21.5 cm Ref: STCN ppn 23992424X; Hoffmann p. 3482; Schweiger 1311; Didbin 2492: 'Valckenaer alone has done more for Theocritus than all the previous editors of the poet put together'; Moss 2693: 'the notes are short and perspicuous and chiefly critical'; Ebert 22779; Graesse 6/2115 Details: Greek text and Latin translation. Back gilt. Marbled endpapers. The frontispiece by B. de Bakker depicts a bucolic scene from the first idyll of Theocritus two chatting shepherds. Id. 1 12-14 Engraved coat of arms of the Russian Prince Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov 1750-1831 at the beginning of the 'dedicatio'. Valckenaer tell us in the dedication that he has good memories of the Prince's visit to Leiden and how they read poems of Theocritus. The prince was a great book and art collector. See his article in Wikipedia 'Nikolay Yusupov' Condition: Small old paper label at the foot of the spine. Boards with some small scratches. Small paper label on the upper board. Bookplate on the verso of the front flyleaf Note: The Greek poet Theocritus ca. 300 - ca. 260 BC was a native of Syracuse. He is called the father or inventor of bucolic and pastoral poetry and the reviver of the mime. His fame chiefly rests on his Idylls written in hexameter verse and in the Doric dialect. His outstanding dramatic descriptive and lyric qualities are best displayed in his bucolic poetry. 'Theocritus shares with other poets of his age a preference for the short highly finished poem for fresh and sometimes exotic themes and for new forms or old forms used in new ways. Nevertheles he transcends his age in his ability to select and concentrate his material in the freshness of his observation of people and scenes in the vivacity of his narratives and descriptions in imagery and lyricism and above all in his dramatic power.' OCD 2nd ed. p. 1054 § Moschus ca. 150 BC and also from Syracuse is according to Suidas the next after Theocritus to write pastoral poetry. He was an imitator like Bion. § This edition of 1781 is a reissue of the edition which was previously published in 1779 by Le Mair and De Chalmot at Leiden and Kampen. Honkoop purchased the remaining stock of this Theocritius edition after the death of Le Maire changed the impressum on the title page and brought it on the market for a second time now with his own name. § The edition contains Bion and Moschus and the whole of Theocritus. 'It is by far the most critical and valuable which has yet been published; in it the editior has bestowed very great labour upon the restoration of true readings - it contains an amazing fund of valuable illlustrations which no man was ever so well calculated to amass as Valckenaer who to an almost incredible extent of reading united sound ciritism and elegant erudition'. Moss. Valckenaer based his edition on many earlier Theocritus editions e.g. of Zacharias Kallierges Rome 1516 and of Ralph Thomas Winterton Cambridge 1635. He adopted the Latin translation of Theocritus made by the German scholar Helius Eobanus Hessius first published in 1530 supplementing it with translations of Daniel Heinsius and Hugo Grotius. Valckenaer also added 'ex autographis' a Latin translation of Bion & Moschus made by the Dutch poet Ernst Willem Higt latinized as Higtius 1723-1762. Higt was for 6 years a student of Valckenaer in Franeker. After his studies Higt was appointed in 1749 rector of the Gymnasium at Alkmaar. Valckenaer praises in a short 'Lectori' his poetic talents and calls him a 'Poeta graece et latine perdoctus' who 'media aetate nobis omnibus flebilis occidit'. § The Frisian scholar Lodewijk Caspar Valckenaer latinized Ludovicus Casparus Valckenarius 1715-1785 who produced this edition of the Greek poets Theocritus Bion and Moschus was a pupil of Tiberius Hemsterhuis a Frisian too and after him the greatest Dutch classical scholar of the 18th century. Hemsterhuis was professor of Greek at the University of Franeker from 1717 till 1740 and from 1740 till 1765 at the University of Leiden. Hemsterhuis was the founder of a Dutch school of criticism the so-called 'Schola Hemsterhusiana' which had in Valckenaer its best known disciple. Valckenaer studied Greek in Franeker under Hemsterhuis and succeeded to his chair in 1741. In 1765 he left for Leiden once again as successor of his beloved teacher. Both created a golden age of Greek studies in the Netherlands. Still a student Valckenaer edited a Greek lexicon of the grammarian Ammonius 'De adfinium vocabulorum Differentia' Leiden 1739. In Franeker he produced a revised and augmented edition of Fulvio Orsini's 'Virgilius illustratus' Leeuwarden 1747. This title is important for the history of scholarship for its inclusion of the text of the 22nd book of the Iliad of Homer accompanied by an introduction 'variae lectiones' and the 'editio princeps' of scholia of Porphyrius and other hellenistic and byzantine scholars. In 1755 Valckenaer published an edition of Euripides' 'Phoenissae' with his rich commentary and a Latin translation by Hugo Grotius. Among his best works are two other Euripides editions this Hippolytus edition of 1768 and his 'Diatribe in Euripidis perditorum dramatum reliquias' of 1767. Valckenaer also produced editions of the Idylls of Theocritus Leiden 1773 and of the complete works of bucolic poets Theocritus Bion and Moschus. 'Theocriti Bionis et Moschi Carmina Bucolica' Leiden & Kampen 1779. His Callimachus was published posthumously by J.
