rif. 130396Venice Venetiis Apud Juntas 1603. 4to. XLIV600 p. Overlapping vellum 23 cm Ref: Hoffmann 3563; Schweiger 1331; Ebert 22957 Details: Two thongs laced through the joints. Gilt red morocco letterpiece on the back. Printer's mark of the Giunta family on the title: a fleur-de-lys. Woodcut initials good paper fine printing Condition: old and small inscription on front pastedown; a bigger one on the front flyleaf. Name and a faint small inkstain on the title. Some very small wormholes near the lower edge keeping far away from any text; holes have occasionally been mended with a layer of thin paper Note: This volume contains the exhaustive and learned lecture notes of Fabio Paolino da Udine or Fabius Paulinus Utinensis on the description of the plague epidemy by the Greek historian Thucydides Thuc. Hist. 2.47-58. This epidemy reached the war-stricken city of Athens in 430 B.C. at the beginning of the Peloponnesian war which lasted from 431 till 404 B.C. Thucydides is the first to describe the social upheaval of a pandemy and its consequences. The identification of what was the cause of this pandemy is until this day a matter of controversy. Fabius Paulinus Utinensis born at Udine ca. 1535 was the very man for a commentary on this subject. 'His first training in Greek and Latin was at Venice with Bernardino Partenio. Later he went to Padua where he graduated in philosophy and medicine but studied rhetoric and Arabic as well. He practiced medicin for a time before he became public professor at Venice where he taught Greek in the School of San Marco and Latin in the Collegio de'Notai. Both chairs he obtained in 1588 as the successor of Bernardino Partenio'. 'Medieval and Renaissance Latin translations and commentaries vol. 8' Washington 2003 p. 180. Paulinus held his lectures in the library of the San Marco Gymnasium. The work starts with a list of 232 questions concerning the possible causes of the pest. Each chapter is preceded by the relevant Greek text and a Latin translation. § On the flyleaf a former owner has written a quotation from Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' chapter XLIII note 90: 'I was indebted to Dr. Hunter for an elaborate commentary on this part of Thucydides the plague of Athens a quarto of 600 pages Ven. 1603 apud Juntas which was pronounced in St. Marks Library by Fabius Paullinus sic Utinensis a physician and philosopher'. These passages of Thucydides helped Gibbon to understand the impact of the pest epidemy which ravaged Konstantinople in 542 under the emperor Iustinian Provenance: Name on the title of 'Joannis Molini'. This must be a relative of one of the 3 senators of the Gymnasium to whom Paulinus dedicates his work. The book is dedicated to 'M. Anto. Memmo' and the noblemen 'Francisco Molino' & 'Antonio Priolo' Collation: a-d4 e6; A-4F4 Photographs on request hardcover

rif. 33877Verona: 1735 Vol 1 1736 Vol 2. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. First edition in Italian two volumes vol. 1 380 pp vol. 2 280 pp vellum 4to 12 x 8.5" 30 x 21.5cm. Easily one of the oldest books in our library still in good condition especially given its almost three centuries of age. A wonderful example of Italian printing and binding during the Enlightenment period. These 2 volumes on the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta in 5th century BCE by Thucydides are considered to be some of the first true Historical studies in the modern sense and this Italian translation helped disseminate ideas about War - it's dynamics and consequences Democracy and Governance Politics and Human Nature throughout Italy and Europe just when these topics were being widely debated. Translated from the Greek by Francesco Di Soldo Strozzi Fiorentino these volumes also include a life of the author by Tomaso Porcacchi a chronological table by Tomaso Gale in the appendix and a foldout map of Sicily. Edited by Dionigi Ramanzini and dedicated to Piero Gradenigo. A wonderful piece of History this copy of the Istorico Greco shows wear consistent with its age some stains wavy vellum and general scuffing. A very good copy nonetheless with an indecipherable very old previous owner signature reading " Guiseppe di." in quill and ink. A fine addition for the Antiquarian book collector. 1735 (Vol 1), 1736 (Vol 2) unknown
