1588rif. 1936Geneva:: Excudebat Henricus Stephanus 1588. SECOND ESTIENNE EDITION corrected by Estienne and with numerous additions. Printed in two sizes of the ‘grecs du roi’ types of Claude Garamond. There are numerous historiated initials and decorative head- and tail-pieces. The Estienne "Noli altum sapere" device appears on the title page. Folio:. 32.2 x 21 cm. Collation: ¶6 ¶¶4 a-z6 aa-zz6 aaa-nnn6 ooo4. Bound in contemporary calf rebacked. The boards are framed by a single gold fillet. Central wreath-like cartouches also gilt are stamped at the centers of both boards. The text is in very good condition with good margins. There is however a bit of worming affecting the text in the first part. "The second Estienne edition is generally considered the best sixteenth century edition of the greatest historian of Athens. For this new edition Estienne has corrected the Greek text and scholia as well as further revised Lorenzo Valla's Latin translation which is now printed on the same page with the Greek text in parallel columns while the Greek scholia are printed at the foot of the page. Estienne has also added marginal concordances to his first edition. Among the other important additions are Estienne's “Proparasceue” Preparation to the reading of the Greek scholia which is to this day a most valuable exposition of the special vocabulary and technical terminology used by the Greek scholiasts; his annotations on the text and scholia of the first two books Renouard as well as Carter and Muir in PMM wrongly attribute these annotations to Isaac Casaubon; the Thycydidean Chronology of David Chytraeus and the Greek Life of Thucydides by Marcellinus with a Latin translation by Casaubon."

Hobbes published his translation of Thucydides’ masterpiece in 1629 when he was in his early forties. Yet he tells us in the introduction that the translation once completed “lay long by” him indicating that it had been completed much earlier. “Hobbes was interested in Thucydides less for his style than his subject matter. Nor did he take up the study and translation of the Greek historian simply with a scholar’s antiquarian interest but with the humanist desire to learn and pass on the lessons of history to his contemporaries. He is not shy of speaking of the utility of history. He talks of Thucydides’ writings ‘as having in them profitable instruction for Noblemen and such as may come to have the managing of great and weighty actions.’ It is in the history of Thucydides that the purposes of history are most finely embodied: ‘For the principall and proper worke of History being to instruct and enable men by the knowledge of Actions past to beare themselves prudently in the present and providently towards the Future there is not extant any other merely humane that doth more fully and naturally performe it then this of my Author.’… “Hobbes had very definite ideas about the conclusions to be drawn from Thucydides. In the long introductory essay ‘Of the Life and History of Thucydides’ he derives from the history an account of the political opinions of its author: ‘For his opinion touching the government of the State it is manifest that he least of all liked the Democracy. And upon divers occasions hee noteth the emulation and contention of the Demagogues for reputation and glory of wit; with their crossing of each others counsels to the damage of the Publique; the inconstancy of Resolutions caused by the diversity of ends and power of Rhetorique in the Orators; and the desperated actions undertaken upon the flattering advice of such as desired to attaine or to hold what they had attained of authority and sway amongst the common people. Nor doth it appeare that he magnifieth anywhere the authority of the Few; amongst whom he saith every one desireth to be chiefe; and they that are undervalued beare it with lesse patience than in a Democracy; whereupon sedition followeth and dissultion of the government. Hee prayseth the government of Athens when it was mixed of the Few and the Many; but more he commendeth it both when Pisistratus raigned saving that it was an usurped power and when in the beginning of this Warre it was Democraticall in name but in effect Monarchicall under Pericles.’ “Thucydides here is represented as a closet royalist. The passage to which Hobbes is directly referring which must have been written after the final defeat of Athens in 404 is Thucydides summary account of the causes of her downfall in Book II. This is a long but crucial passage in Hobbes’ translation a shortcut to the lessons to be learnt from the larger narrative. While there are many factors that contributed to the political philosophy later developed by Hobbes not least his experience of civil disorder in Britain it might be argued that the political analysis here of the weakness of the Athenian democracy was influential in defining a problem to which the doctrine of Leviathan was the solution.”Robin Sowerby “Thomas Hobbes’ Translation of Thucydides” "The historical methods of Thucydides who lived in the fifth century B.C. have never been bettered. His severe standard of historical truth coupled with his passionate belief in the general significance of particular events have given his history of the tragic war between Athens and Sparta a universal value to statesmen and historians alike."
