ref. 016399Porphyre de Tyr ; Jean Levesque de Burigny [traducteur], Traité de Porphyre, touchant l'Abstinence de la chair des animaux ; avec la vie de Plotin par ce philosophe et une dissertation sur les génies : par M. de Burigny. Paris, de Bure, 1747. In-12, [11]-[1bl]-498-[5]p. Edition originale de la première traduction française de Burigny. Il s'agit de l'oeuvre majeure de Porphyre et d'un des deux ouvrages antiques sur le végétarisme. Cet ouvrage est une véritable ode au végétarisme et un des premiers ouvrages sur le sujet. S'adressant au philosophe Castricius Firmus, qui a abandonné l'abstinence de viande, il cherche à contredire tous les arguments en faveur de la consommation de viande. Il était ainsi militant végétarien et défenseur du droit des animaux. On dit que c'est par ce texte de Porphyre que Voltaire aurait été converti au végétarisme. Le terme conversion n'est pas de trop tant Porphyre y voyait des raisons philosophiques et religieuses. Notons aussi que Burigny était ami de Voltaire. Provenance : Jules Hériot de Vroil (1820-1893), économiste, avec son cachet sur le titre, « ex musaeo Julii de Vroil », et son ex-libris armorié sur le contreplat. Reliure signée Marius Michel, plein maroquin janséniste havane, roulette en bordure des contreplats, tête dorée, non rogné. Petites usures aux coins, quelques petites éraflures. Exemplaire resté probablement broché jusqu'à cette reliure. Très bel exemplaire.

ref. 2994Classical Authors: Londini- London. Excudit Gulielmus Bowyer Sumptibus Societatis ad Literas Promovendas institutæ 1740. 4to. pp. 17 v 727 ix. Greek and Latin text. Speckled calf 5 raised bands; gilt. The second edition of John Davies' critical edition of the works of Maximus of Tyre second century Platonist originally published 1703 with revisions by Jeremiah Markland. Maximus of Tyre reputed to have been the tutor of Marcus Aurelius writes dissertations on theological ethical and philosophical subjects include quotations from Plato and Homer. The philosophical content derives from Platonism and Cynicism. Head cap and tail of spine chipped; joints starting; internally crisp and bright. MAXIMUS OF TYRE Cassius Maximus Tyrius a Greek rhetorician and philosopher who flourished in the time of the Antonines and Commodus 2nd century A.D. After the manner of the sophists of his age he travelled extensively delivering lectures on the way. His writings contain many allusions to the history of Greece while there is little reference to Rome; hence it is inferred that he lived longer in Greece perhaps as a professor at Athens. Although nominally a Platonist he is really an Eclectic and one of the precursors of Neoplatonism. There are still extant by him forty-one essays or discourses διαλέξεις on theological ethical and other philosophical commonplaces. With him God is the supreme being one and indivisible though called by many names accessible to reason alone; but as animals form the intermediate stage between plants and human beings so there exist intermediaries between God and man viz. daemons who dwell on the confines of heaven and earth. The soul in many ways bears a great resemblance to the divinity; it is partly mortal partly immortal and when freed from the fetters of the body becomes a daemon. Life is the sleep of the soul from which it awakes at death. The style of Maximus is superior to that of the ordinary sophistical rhetorician but scholars differ widely as to the merits of the essays themselves. 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica Volume 17 John Davies 1679–1732 was an English cleric and academic known as a classical scholar and President of Queens' College Cambridge from 1717. William Bowyer 16991777 was educated at St John's College Cambridge in 1722 became a partner in his father's business. In 1729 he was appointed printer of the votes of the House of Commons and in 1736 printer to the Society of Antiquaries of which he was elected a fellow in 1737. In 1737 he took as apprentice John Nichols who was to be his successor and biographer. In 1761 Bowyer became printer to the Royal Society and in 1767 printer of the rolls of the House of Lords and the journals of the House of Commons. He died on the 13th of November 1777 leaving unfinished a number of large works and among them the reprint of Domesday Book. He wrote a great many tracts and pamphlets edited arranged and published a host of books but perhaps his principal work was an edition of the New Testament in Greek with notes.
