Goodness and Justice argues that goodness was the most fundamental normative concept in the ethics of Plato and Aristotle and illustrates how they used their functional and formal theories of good to build their theories of virtue justice and happiness. It also shows that they fought subjective theories of good as desire satisfaction and good as pleasure in favor of what they thought was a more objective concept of good found in form and function. The comparisons with the moderns illuminate the merits and limits of ancient and modern ethical theories and place them within a broad philosophical and historical context.

1838Best.-Nr. 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.

1711Best.-Nr. 66266à Amsterdam: Chez Henri Schelte 1711. Fine. Copy bearing the arms of Queen Elisabeth Farnese of Spain Princess of Parma. Chez Henri Schelte à Amsterdam 1711 9.50 x 15 cm In-12 relié First bilingual edition with French facing Greek translated by Pierre Coste with his footnotes. Title page printed in red and black. Extended preface by Pierre Coste. Copy bearing the arms of Queen Elisabeth Farnese of Spain Princess of Parma queen from 1714 to 1746. A woman of power whose policies profoundly influenced Spain. Double coat of arms surmounted by a closed royal crown encircled by the collars of the Orders of the Holy Spirit and the Golden Fleece. Dexter: Spain; sinister: Farnese ""or with six fleurs-de-lys azure 321"". An intriguing feature of the queens arms: the collars of the Orders of the Holy Spirit and of the Golden Fleece although these orders were never bestowed upon women. Contemporary full speckled blond calf binding. Spine with raised bands richly gilt. Crimson morocco title-piece. Arms gilt-stamped at the centre of the covers. Triple fillet border on the covers. All edges gilt. Slight wear to headcaps. Upper joint largely split. Lower joint split at head. Hieron is a dialogue by Xenophon between a philosopher Simonides and a king Hieron; through Simonides questions emerges a vision of kingship. As the edition dates from 1711 and Elisabeth Farnese only acceded to royal dignity in 1714 the association of this text with the rare arms of the young and newly crowned queen takes on a distinctly symbolic dimension: a reflection on power and on the way of preparing for it through the reading of the Ancients.

1525Best.-Nr. 133029Venice: Heirs of Aldus Manutius and Andrea Torresano 1525. The Aldine Xenophon First Aldine edition of the collected works of Xenophon including the Anabasis recounting his leadership of the Ten Thousand against the Persian Empire and the Cyropaedia his partly fictionalized biography of Cyrus the Great which became a model for medieval writers of the mirror-for-princes genre. The edition is almost complete with the only absent Xenophon text being the Apology. The edition marks the first printing of Xenophon's De Atheniensium re publica and De vectigalibus alongside the Hellenica which the Aldine press had published in October 1503 and the Agesilao which had previously been erroneously attributed to Plutarch. The text was edited by Aldus's brother-in-law Gian Francesco d'Asola who in his preface makes disparaging comments about the 1516 Filippo Giunta edition showing the rivalry between the two great Venetian printing houses. This edition is universally recognized as superior. Provenance: library of the College of Santa Maria Coronata Pavia ownership inscription "Biblioth. Collegij S. Mariae Coronatae Papiensis" and old small stamp on title page. Folio 306 x 209 mm. Woodcut Aldine device on title and on verso of final leaf. Complete with blank leaves L8 and a1. Seventeenth-century sprinkled calf spine lettered and tooled in gilt red speckled edges. Some early annotations in margins in Greek. Spine ends and head of front joint repaired with new calf very minor insect damage to rear cover a few instances of light finger-soiling yet contents generally clean and crisp. A very good copy.
