The title page is particularly attractive with a finely engraved view of the Sheldonian Theatre the Oxford University printing house from which the book was issued.Institutional and modern auction catalogues attribute the editing of the 1711 Symposia to Henry Aldrich. Aldrich died in December 1710 making this one of the classical works associated with his scholarship to appear immediately after his death. An early nineteenth-century auction catalogue unusually records the edition as a Fairfax; the precise basis and identity behind that attribution have not been established and Fairfax is therefore not retained here as a co-editor.The present copy is preserved in an appealing contemporary panelled calf binding and is distinguished by an important manuscript provenance from the Oxford classical milieu of the 1740s.PROVENANCEVery probably Edwin Sandys 17261797 later 2nd Baron Sandys; acquired in 1747 as a gift from his very dear friend Ant.

Sandys matriculated at New College Oxford on 21 May 1743 aged seventeen and became a notable classical scholar and bibliophile. He was later appointed a trustee of the British Museum and records made at his death attest to a substantial personal library.The attribution is supported by comparison with securely provenanced books from Sandyss library including a 1746 Oxford presentation volume now held by New College Library. The abbreviated form Ed: Sandys the formation of the name and the date of the present inscription are closely consistent with material associated with Sandys during precisely this period of his life.The donor recorded as Ant: Champio - For full description please contact the seller Sheldonian unknown

There are light tidemarks in the the bottom margins of the pages which very slightly bleed into the text. There are several pages which do have a bit more dampstaining. There are periodic instances of error in pagination however the text runs consecutively. The text opens with a description of Xenophon's life. This edition was originally published in Frankfurt in 1595. Xenophon produced a large body of work. His works are an important because they reveal much about late Classical Greece. They were also very novel for the times representing some of the earliest examples of the nonmedical treatise and autobiographical narrative "Anabasis". Furthermore not only were many of his works inspired by his own personal experiences giving them a personal touch and rendering them significant in that way as well but they were also created with the ultimate goal of serving as moral instruction. Xenophon was exiled from Athens following a fight in Coronea in 394 in which Xenophon had supported Sparta against the Greek Coalition. The cause of his exile still remains a matter of dispute.

FIRST TURKISH TRANSLATION OF THE ANABASIS OF ALEXANDER Tarih-i Iskender bin Filipos. = The Anabasis of Alexander. Translated into Ottoman Turkish by Jinâb Bughâkî Efendi Râzi-zâda - George Rhasis 19th century.

1838rif. 054600Cairo: Bulaq Printing House 1838. 1st Edition . Leather. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Original full leather bdg. with its miklep traditional flap embossed shamsa mystical sun on boards. Roy. 8vo. 24 x 17 cm. In Ottoman script. 8 263 p. Sarlavla page decorated with traditional ornaments. First edition of this extremely rare and the first translation of the Anabasis of Alexander in the Ottoman / Turkish literature. One of 1010 copies. The Anabasis of Alexander was composed by Arrian of Nicomedia in the second century AD most probably during the reign of Hadrian. The Anabasis which survives complete in seven books is a history of the campaigns of Alexander the Great specifically his conquest of the Persian Empire between 336 and 323 BC. Both the unusual title "Anabasis" literally "a journey up-country from the sea" and the work's seven-book structure reflect Arrian's emulation in structure style and content of the Greek historian Xenophon whose own Anabasis in seven books concerned the earlier campaign "up-country" of Cyrus the Younger in 401 BC. The Anabasis is by far the fullest surviving account of Alexander's conquest of the Persian Empire. It primarily revolves around the military history reflecting the content of Arrian's model Xenophon's Anabasis; the work begins with Alexander's accession to the Macedonian throne in 336 BC and has nothing to say about Alexander's early life in contrast say to Plutarch's Life of Alexander. Nor does Arrian aim to provide a complete history of the Greek-speaking world during Alexander's reign. Arrian's chief sources for writing the Anabasis were the lost contemporary histories of the campaign by Ptolemy and Aristobulus and for his later books Nearchus. One of Arrian's main aims in writing this work on history seems to have been to correct the standard "Vulgate" narrative of Alexander's reign that was dominant in his day primarily associated with the lost writings of the historian Cleitarchus. The Anabasis gives a broadly chronological account of the reign of Alexander the Great of Macedonia 336-323 BC with a particular focus on military matters. George Rhasis Yorgaki Razi translated Anabasis Alexandrou = "History of Alexander the son of Philip" the work of Xenophon under the title "Târîh-i Iskender bin Filipos". This is the first translation of an ancient Greek historian into Turkish. Georgios Rhasis who was one of the first writers of the French-Turkish dictionary in the early period was an Ottoman intellectual who worked as an instructor and translator in Ottoman and French languages. He also taught at the Eastern Languages School in Paris and continued her studies in Corfu and Paris. In 1821 he came to be in Istanbul as a famous orientalist. Rhasis left the city and the homeland he lived in to settle in Tsarist Russia due to concerns during the Greek Revolution in 1821. The Bulaq or El-Amiriya Press is the first official and governmental printing press to be established in Egypt and functions according to industrial printing basis causing not just a qualitative but also a quantitative and knowledgeable leap in science throughout the Arab region. It was established in 1820 by Muhammad Ali Pasha of Egypt and Sudan 1769-1849 and was part of Muhammad Ali's inclusive development plans for the modernization of Egypt.
