1530ABC_49914Basel 1530. 8vo 10.4 x 15.4 cm. Froben Office heirs of Johann Froben 19th-century half brown calf and grey paper sides. With a woodcut printer's device on the title page and final page and 7 decorated woodcut initials. 293 1 1 blank 1 pp. This volume brings together Erasmus renditions in Latin of two of Euripides most enduring tragedies titled Hecuba and Iphigenia in Aulis presented alongside the original Greek texts beginning on page 169. Euripides ca. 480-ca. 406 BCE was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. He is one of only three Greek tragedians whose plays have survived in full the others being Aeschylus and Sophocles.Both plays in the present work explore the devastating costs of war through the eyes of women caught in its aftermath. In Hecuba the former queen of Troy endures unspeakable losses the sacrifice of her daughter Polyxena the murder of her son Polydorus and ultimately a brutal act of revenge that leads to her mythical transformation into a howling dog symbolising her complete descent into grief and rage.Iphigenia in Aulis is set on the eve of the Trojan War focusing on Agamemnons impossible decision to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to appease the goddess Artemis and allow the Greek fleet to sail. The play confronts themes of duty honour and the personal costs of collective ambition. These themes echo tragically in Hecuba which portrays the wars bitter consequences. Together these tragedies form a poignant narrative arc from the sacrifices made to start a war to the wreckage and human suffering left in its wake.With a partially erased manuscript note on the title page 1822.

Although this letter had been printed previously it is presented here together with annotations by Erasmus.Also included is a consolatory letter by Basil the Great Bishop of Caesarea 330-379 CE intended to support believers facing the hardships of earthly life.

Numerous beautiful woodcut allegorical initials both large and smaller throughout. 4 - title dedications 14 - index 6 314 pp. <br/><br/><em>First editions of both works being the first edition of the works "Several Studies" of St. Eucharius most of them printed for the first time here as well as the first edition of Rodulfus Tortarius' or Radulphus Flaviacensis commentaries of Leviticus the third of the Books of Moses written in Latin in 20 books. Saint Eucherius bishop of Lyon ca. 380 - ca. 449 was a high-born and high-ranking ecclesiastic in the Christian Church of Gaul. He is remembered for his letters advocating extreme self-abnegation. Henry Wace ranked him "except perhaps St. Irenaeus the most distinguished occupant of that see"."St. Eucherius Bishop of Lyons theologian born in the latter half of the fourth century; died about 449. On the death of his wife he withdrew to the monastery of Lérins where his sons Veranius and Salonius lived and soon afterward to the neighbouring island of Lerona now Sainte-Marguerite where he devoted his time to study and mortification. Desirous of joining the anchorites in the deserts of the East he consulted John Cassian who in reply sent him some of his "Collationes" describing the daily lives of the hermits of the Thebaid. It was at this time that Eucherius wrote his beautiful letter "De laude Eremi" to St. Hilary of Arles c. 428. Though imitating the virtues of the Egyptian solitaries he kept in touch with men renowned for learning and piety e.g. Cassian St. Hilary of Arles St. Honoratus later Bishop of Marseilles and Valerian to whom he wrote his "Epistola parænetica de contemptu mundi". The fame of Eucherius was soon so widespread in southeastern Gaul that he was chosen Bishop of Lyons. This was probably in 434; it is certain at least that he attended the First Council of Orange 441 as Metropolitan of Lyons and that he retained this dignity until his death. In addition to the above-mentioned letters Eucherius wrote "Formularium spiritualis intelligentiæ ad Veranium" and "Institutiones ad Salonium" besides many homilies. His works have been published both separately and among the writings of the Fathers." Catholic Encyclopedia. His "Epistola paraenetica ad Valerianum cognatum de contemptu mundi "Epistle of exhortation to his kinsman Valerian On the contempt of the world" is an expression of the despair for the present and future of the world in its last throes shared by many educated men of Late Antiquity with hope for a world to come. Erasmus thought so highly of its Latin style that he edited and published it at Basel in 1520. His commentaries on the work are also included here. His "Liber formularum spiritalis intelligentiae" which is addressed to his son Veranius is a defence of the lawfulness of reading an allegorical sense in Scripture bringing to bear the metaphors in Psalms and such phrases as "the hand of God" The term anagoge in Greek is employed for the application of Scripture to the heavenly Jerusalem to come and there are other examples of what would become classic Medieval hermeneutics.Rodulfus Tortarius also known as Raoul of Tourtier Raoul de La Tourte Radulphus Flaviacensis c.1063 - c.1122 was a French Benedictine monk of the Abbey of Fleury-sur-Loire and a poet writing in Latin. He is known both for his style of writing his biblical commentaries and religious works and his literary and comic tales. His commentary on "Leviticus" is considered important and influential. The first edition of the work is rare. </em> hardcover
