1757In 8° (24x18,4 cm); XXXII pp. Senza legatura ma non slegato. Bella xilografia al frontespizio. Testatine, finalini, iniziali ornati. Prima edizione di questa raccolta di componimenti scritti da vari personaggi padovani (Lavagnoli Antonio, Paolo Brazolo Milizia, Melchiorre Cesarotti, Matteo Berolli) dedicati al nobiluomo Angelo di Lauro Quirini. Fra i vari componimenti qui presenti forse il più importante è il volgarizzamento opera di Paolo Barzolo Milizia. Noto letterato padovano, Milizia nacque il 16 ott. 1709 dal conte Pietro e da Eleonora Grompo. Studiò prima filosofia e matematica col monaco olivetano Rampinelli e quindi si dedicò alla scienza idraulica sotto la guida dell'ab. Giuseppe Succi e del celebre Giovanni Poleni fino a quando l’incontro con il grande grecista Domenico Lazzarini fece nascere in lui la passione per il greco ed il volgarizzamenti. Ottimo conoscitore delle lingue greca e latina, s'intendeva anche di ebraico ed era appassionato studioso di tutte le arti; oltre la poesia, amava la pittura, la scultura e soprattutto la musica. Tuttavia la fama del B. è dovuta alla sua sapienza di grecista e all'amore entusiastico ed esclusivo che ebbe per Omero, quasi un'idolatria, che suscitò spesso l'ironia e la satira dei contemporanei. Qui è presente uno dei rarissimi sui componimenti editi quando Milizia era ancora in vita. Infatti oltre a poche poesie l’autore, durante la sua vita, pubblicò questo volgarizzamento dell’idillio del grande poeta greco Mosco e lo dedicò a S. E. Angelo di Lauro Quirini (Padova 1757). A parte la mancanza della legatura in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Molto raro, un solo esemplare censito in ICCU.

Writer Educator And Literary Critic Denton Jacques Snider 1841-1925 Was One Of The Original Members Of The St. Louis Philosophical Society An Association Of Hegelians Founded In 1866 By William Torrey Harris And Henry C. Brockmeyer Whom Snider Met While Teaching In The St. Louis Schools. With His Knowledge Of Greek Latin French German And Italian Snider Brought A Love Of Literature A Fine Critical Sensibility And A Breadth Of Outlook To The St. Louis Group. He Spent Some Time Teaching Classics In Susan Blow's Kindergarten Training School. An Acrimonious Parting Of The Ways Resulted From Blow's Disapproval Of His Independence And Enthusiasm For Pagan Cultures. From 1884-97 Snider Wrote And Lectured Touring Extensively Mainly In The Midwest Including Speeches To The Grand Rapids Kindergarten Training School. According To The Dictionary Of American Biography Snider Would Move "Impetuously About The Stage Checking His Flow Of Eloquence Only To Chide Severely The Late-Comers." To Avoid The Commercialization Of His Work He Published His Writings Himself At His Own Expense Under The Imprint Of His Sigma Publishing Company. He Made Little If Any Money From The More Than Forty Volumes He Published And Often Gave Away Copies To People Attending His Lectures Who Wanted To Read Them. Snider's Earlier Works Many Of Them In Verse Deal With Greece And Rome A Walk In Hellas Homer In Chios Prorsus Retrorsus Agamemnon's Daughter. Between 1877 And 1897 He Produced Nine Volumes Of Commentary On "The Four Literary Bibles Of The Occident"-Shakespeare's Plays Goethe's Faust Homer's Works And Dante's Divine Comedy. Later He Embarked On An Ambitious Series Of Volumes Intended To Comprise A Grand Philosophic Or "Psychologic" System Which Included Works On History Science Psychology And Political Philosophy. Snider Also Wrote Poetry And Two Autobiographical Works A Writer Of Books In His Genesis 1910 And The St. Louis Movement In Philosophy Literature Education Psychology With Chapters Of Autobiography 1920.
