1639In 12°; 125, (9) pp. e 120 pp. Legatura coeva in piena pelle con cornice a doppio filetto a secco ai piatti. Filetti e autori e titolo in oro al dorso. Testi in greco e latino a fronte. Seconde rare edizioni, quanto le prime, pubblicate per la prima volta a Roma l'anno precedente, di due opere dell'antichità classica andate a lungo perdute. La prima opera è uno scritto del filosofo neoplatonico Sallustio che visse a Roma nel IV secolo. Amico personale dell'imperatore romano Giuliano condividendone il programma di restaurazione dell'antica religione romana. Persona dalla profonda saggezza fu apprezzato anche da almeno altri tre imperatori che successero a Giuliano che gli confermarono la carica di prefetto del pretorio d'Oriente. Libanio lo lodò come funzionario incorruttibile, Imerio gli indirizzò un'orazione in cui lo definiva un vero servitore e rappresentante dello stato: Gli stessi cristiani, che subirono le persecuzioni di Giuliano, anche su suggerimento dello stesso Sallustio, ne lodarono, nonostante tutto l'equilibrio. Fu persona dalla notevole erudizione. Pur mutuando numerose tesi da diversi neoplatonici, Sallustio seppe elaborare alcune teorie del tutto originali come ad esempio, quella sull'origine del “male”. Sallustio scrisse il trattato qui presentato, dedicato all'importanza degli dei e del loro culto, presumibilmente, come parte degli sforzi dell'imperatore Giuliano per rafforzare l'antica religione pagana contro il cristianesimo che si stava affermando. Il testo rimase sconosciuto per numerosi secoli, fino a quando il noto studioso e teologo, Leone Allacci (Chio, Chios in greco, 1586 circa – Roma, 19 gennaio 1669) lo rinvenne fra i manoscritti conservati della Biblioteca Vaticana. L'opera fu curata e tradotta in latino, dal filologo di Amburgo Lukas Holste (1596-1661), segretario e bibliotecario del cardinale Francesco Barberini prima ed in seguito, bibliotecario del Vaticano. La seconda opera raccoglie le sentenze morali pitagoriche del filosofo Pseudo-Demofilo. Anche questa è una seconda edizione dopo la prima edizione romana dell'anno precedente. Testo greco con a fronte traduzione latina a cura di Lucas Holstenius. Infine, alle pagine 104-109, ci sono versi del bibliotecario bulgaro Johannes Pediasimus sugli orrori o le gioie della cattiva o buona moglie: Desiderium. De muliere mala - de muliere bona. Rif.
