16292941Zwolle 1629. 4to. for Zacharias Heyns colophon: printed by Frans Jorrijaensz 19th century half brown morocco with the author title and imprint lettered in gold on the spine brown cloth sides. With a large engraved emblem on the title page 5 decorated woodcut initials a woodcut headpiece 2 headpieces built up from typographical ornaments a woodcut tailpiece and a tailpiece built up from typographical ornaments. 28 ll. First edition of Zacharias Heyns' new Dutch translation of Erasmus' famous anti-war essay Dulce bellum inexpertis. This essay was originally part of the 1515 edition of the Adagia but was first published as an independent work by Johann Froben in 1517 with the title Bellum. The present Dutch edition is quite rare as we have not been able to find any other copies in sales records of the past hundred years.The Adagia was first published in 1500 but Erasmus continued to edit the work until his death. The 1515 edition published by Froben was greatly expanded but the essay for the proverb Dulce bellum inexpertis war is sweet to the inexperienced was the longest and most remarkable addition. In the essay Erasmus argues that war is senseless unchristian and contrary to human nature. He also critiques the militaristic culture of his time which glorified violence and aggression and advocates instead for diplomacy and negotiation. The essay became so popular that Froben published it separately. Within ten years it had been reissued at Louvain twice at Strasbourg twice at Mainz at Leipzig twice at Paris twice at Cologne at Antwerp and at Venice. German translations of it were published at Basel and at Strasbourg in 1519 and 1520 and an English translation followed in 1533. The first Dutch translation was made in 1622. The present second Dutch translation made during the Eighty Years' War shows how the work continued to inspire more than a hundred years after it was first written.The spine has been slightly rubbed.

House of Elzevir edition printed by Lodowijk Elzevir who met Galileo in 1636. His grandfather founded the publishing company in the 1580s. One of the many works of the philosopher and Catholic theologian known as the 'Prince of Christian Humanists.' Published in 1518 the pages 'held up contemporary religious practices for examination in a more serious but still pervasively ironic tone' Coffin/Stacey Western Civilizations. Christian Humanists viewed Erasmus as their leader in the early 16th century. Erasmus' works had greater meaning to those learned few who had a larger knowledge of Latin and Greek. Colloquies in Latin means a formal written dialogue thus in his book Erasmus explores man's reaction to others in conversations. The Colloquies is a collection of dialogues on a wide variety of subjects. They began in the late 1490s as informal Latin exercises for Erasmus' own pupils. In about 1522 he began to perceive the possibilities this form might hold for continuing his campaign for the gradual enlightenment and reform of all Christendom. Between that date and 1533 twelve new editions appeared each larger and more serious than the last until eventually some fifty individual colloquies were included ranging over such varied subjects as war travel religion sleep beggars funerals and literature. All of these works were in the same graceful easy style and gentle humor that made them continually sought as schoolboy exercises and light reading for generations. "Originally written in his early days at Paris as dialogues illustrating the art of polite conversation they were afterwards expanded into conversation pieces in which all the topics of the day were discussed with a freedom which ensured their popularity. Later in the century and up to the eighteenth century they were a set book in schools and there are lines in Shakespeare which directly recall Erasmus's words." - Printing and the Mind of Man 53 referencing the 1524 original Typis Ludovici Elsevirii [Lodowijk Elzevir] hardcover
