Finely bound in a French 19th-century crimson morocco covers gilt with central ornament spine with five raised bands lettered in gilt: ODES DANACREON / F.

Front pastedown with the typographic bookplate of Robert Percy Alden an American Gilded Age lawyer and collector hailing from Pennsylvania who died in 1909. Fine French edition of the Odes of Anacreon edited and produced by Ambroise Firmin-Didot 17901876 reusing the illustrations in a reduced scale by the French artist Girodet Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson 17671824. Girodets graceful neoclassic designs were executed in the revived Second Empire style and engraved by his pupil Henri-Guillaume Chatillon 17801856. J. B. de Saint-Victor originally commissioned the Girodet illustrations in 1808 but only two complete designs were published with his translation in 1810. Girodet continued to work on the illustrations privately as well as his own translation of the ancient Greek Odes until his death in 1824. Ambroise Firmin-Didot was an accomplished classicist editor and man of letters within the established line of Didot printers in Paris. This production is an outstanding example of one of the finely printed classics issuing from the renowned Didot press. It maintains the distinctive Didot typographic layout and refined use of red and black inks. The introductory text of a later English edition of the Odes 1869 by Thomas Moore notes that the Firmin-Didot edition was sold at the almost prohibitive price of two pounds. Wonderful copy most likely bound for Robert Percy Aldens American villa-library in the late 19th century. Alden spent several of his Yale post-graduate years in Europe and was married in Paris in 1878 when he likely procured this book. Ambroise Firmin-Didot hardcover books

1843Best.-Nr. 680781843. Florentiae : apud Guillelmum Piatti 1843 4° XVI 179 pp.; 11 pp. feiner Pappband. First Edition! Bilingual Edition - Greek text with Latin version opposite. Anacreon c. 575 - c. 495 BC was a Greek lyric poet notable for his drinking songs and erotic poems. Later Greeks included him in the canonical list of Nine Lyric Poets. Anacreon wrote all of his poetry in the ancient Ionic dialect. Like all early lyric poetry it was composed to be sung or recited to the accompaniment of music usually the lyre. Anacreon's poetry touched on universal themes of love infatuation disappointment revelry parties festivals and the observations of everyday people and life Sappho c. 630 - c. 570 BC was an Archaic Greek poet from Eresos or Mytilene on the island of Lesbos.a Sappho is known for her lyric poetry written to be sung while accompanied by music. In ancient times Sappho was widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets and was given names such as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess". Most of Sappho's poetry is now lost and what is extant has mostly survived in fragmentary form; only the Ode to Aphrodite is certainly complete. As well as lyric poetry ancient commentators claimed that Sappho wrote elegiac and iambic poetry. Three epigrams formerly attributed to Sappho are extant but these are actually Hellenistic imitations of Sappho's style. unknown
