Editio Princeps of the Planudean Anthology the first of Lorenzo di Alopaâ€™s important series of Greek editions; first issue with the editorâ€™s dedicatory letter to Piero deâ€™ Medici; the fine Roxburghe copy. Many Hellenistic poets published books of epigrams; these were collected from an early period. A vast collection assembled ca. AD 900 by the Byzantine schoolteacher Constantine Cephalas included the earlier collections as well as a large number of inscriptional epigrams collected from various parts of Greece and Asia Minor. The Palatine Anthology assembled by an unknown scholar soon after expanded Cephalas to approximately 3700 epigrams adding much Christian and ekphrastic poetry. â€œTo this manuscript we owe almost our entire knowledge of Greek epigram from Meleager to Agathiasâ€ Oxford Classical Dictionary 3rd rev. ed. p. 102.Â In the 13th century the Byzantine monk Maximus Planudes produced this reduced version of the Palatine Anthology rearranging the epigrams in seven books with extensive subdivisions adding some epigrams not included by the Palatine Anthologist most of which came from a different version of Cephalasâ€™ collection but also bowdlerizing erotic passages and omitting what he considered improper. Most manuscript copies were made from the Planudean Anthology the earlier Palatine Anthology having been forgotten. Until the latterâ€™s rediscovery in 1606 theÂ Planudean Anthology was the Greek Anthology and it exerted a huge influence throughout the Renaissance.Â â€œThe Greek Anthology is one of the great books of European literature a garden containing the flowers and weeds of fifteen hundred years of Greek poetry from the most humdrum doggerel to the purest poetryâ€ OCD. Although Planudesâ€™ holograph manuscript was by this time in the collections of Cardinal Bessarion in Venice the Greek scholar Janus Lascaris used a different manuscript for the present edition; this version was followed by all subsequent editors until the latter half of the eighteenth century.Â This was the first of three editions with the Euripedes and the Gnomae printed by di Alopa using a striking uppercase typeface in two fonts designed by Lascaris to imitate epigraphic letter-forms appropriately for these epigrams many of which had been preserved in stone carvings.Â As he explains in his dedicatory letter in this way he hoped to avoid the complications of reproducing Greek script. Lascarisâ€™ type contained ONLY CAPITAL LETTERSÂ with breathings and accents cast and set separately and attached to the letters of the smaller font by means of solder or wax so that its body matched perfectly that of the larger font. Though visually arresting such a typeface proved insufficiently compact for the printing of scholia and two years later a true lowercase fount âˆ’ just as complicated as those condemned by Lascaris âˆ’ was introduced to print the commentary for the editio princeps of the Argonautica.Â This copy is from the first issue containing the final unsigned quire with Lascarisâ€™ dedicatory letter in Latin to Piero de' Medici which was suppressed from some copies no doubt those still unsold after Piero was proscribed from Florence and fled the city following the entry of King Charles VIII on 8 November 1494.Â The neat annotations in this copy are in precisely the kind of Greek humanist hand that Aldus would use forÂ his Greek type.Â Â Some of the later annotations appear to supply textual corrections from the Palatine Anthology.
