Contemporary full leather morocco spine labels gilt titles and triple rules marbled edges and endpapers. French translation of The Laws a series of twelve Platonic dialogues written towards the end of his life. Grou a Jesuit fled to Holland when his order was suppressed in France and it was there that these Dialogues were published. Later he returned to Paris and adopted the alias Leclaire remaining there until the Revolution drove him into a second exile in England. As well as Platonic translations Grou published theological works of a popular nature including The Spiritual Life: A Comprehensive Manual for Catholics Seeking Salvation. The publisher includes a dedication to the then-living philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This set also includes a 1778 edition of La Science de Bonhomme Richard Sabin 78111 which is a French version of Benjamin Franklin's The Way to Wealth. This work includes the sayings of Poor Richard as well as the interrogation of Benjamin Franklin relating to the Stamp Act Pennsylvania's new constitution and the interrogation of William Penn by parliament. Franklin spent a good deal of time in France and was well-liked there. The Way to Wealth was his most popular work and though it first appeared in England in 1757 it was the French translation originally published in 1777 that first included his commentary on British taxation of the American colonies. Herein he presages the colonists' discontent with being taxed and ordered about by a foreign power. Marc-Michel Rey / Chez Ruault, Libraire hardcover
1759170351759. Plato. The Greater Hippias 1759 English translation presenting a key Socratic dialogue on the nature of beauty within the context of Enlightenment era engagement with classical philosophy. The work stages an exchange between Socrates and Hippias in which attempts to define beauty are systematically examined and rejected illustrating the Socratic method of testing and dismantling accepted ideas. This edition contributes to the study of eighteenth century philosophical translation the transmission of Greek thought into English intellectual culture and early modern interpretations of aesthetics and moral philosophy.<br /> <br /> Plato. The Greater Hippias: A Dialogue of Plato Concerning the Beautifull. London: H. Woodfall 1759. First edition in English translated by Floyer Sydenham. Quarto volume presenting the dialogue in which Socrates and Hippias attempt to establish a definition of beauty but arrive instead at the limits of such inquiry. The text employs an anatreptic structure advancing philosophical critique through the refutation of inadequate definitions rather than through a final resolution. Sydenham's translation reflects eighteenth century efforts to render Platonic philosophy accessible to English readers and his work was later praised for its "just criticism and extensive learning an elegant taste and a genius naturally philosophic."<br /> <br /> Published during a period of renewed classical scholarship in Britain this edition aligns with broader Enlightenment interest in Greek philosophy as a foundation for discussions of ethics aesthetics and knowledge. The dialogue's exploration of beauty as a concept "good in and of itself" situates it within early philosophical treatments of intrinsic value while its conversational form influenced later literary and philosophical writing. Light rippling to leaves with minor foxing; overall very good. A well preserved example of eighteenth century Platonic translation and philosophical inquiry. unknown

Vol. 12 in poorer condition due to water damage to upper right corner: soiling and wormholes mainly affect the outer margin of the first half of the book.</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong> Marsilio Ficino 1433–1499 produced the first complete Latin translation of Plato's works in the 15th century completed around 1468–1484. His translation was commissioned by Cosimo de' Medici and became the standard for Western scholarship until the 19th century. Ficino translated all of Plato's dialogues available at the time including works like <em>The Republic Symposium Phaedo</em> and <em>Timaeus</em> as well as spurious or dubious texts e.g. <em>Epinomis</em>. His translation covered the entire Platonic corpus as understood in the Renaissance which was based on Byzantine manuscripts. The Biponti edition is distinguished by its juxtaposition of Ficino's elegant Latin translation with the Greek text edition from 1758 by Henri Estienne also known as Henricus Stephanus 1531–1598. Estienne's three-volume edition <em>Platonis Opera Quae Extant Omnia</em> published in Geneva in 1758 was considered the most authoritative edition of Plato's works until the early nineteenth century. The page numbering system used in this edition known as 'Stephanus pagination' is still used today when citing Plato's works. For classical philologists this edition remains a vital resource for studying Plato's Greek text its transmission and its reception in Western intellectual history.</p> Ex Typographia Societatis hardcover

Each volume's title page with an in-text woodcut of a bust of various ancient persons: Plato Aristippus Diogenes Pericles Alcibiades among others. Text in ancient Greek with the notes and commentary in Latin. With Henry Stephanus' commentary and editing. Also with notes and analysis by Marsilius Ficinius with additional various notes. Brunet 761. Dibdin 299. Moss 426-427. This set was published in twelve volumes. The twelfth volume was published in 1788 and contains only a summary of Plato's philosophy in Latin and an essay by M. Thiedman. It would appear that this final volume is rare: as of 11/23/2022 this cataloger could not locate the twelfth volume of this set in OCLC or in active commerce. All of Plato's philosophy which was published in this set is present in the first eleven volumes. Plato remains a foundational figure in Western philosophy with his dialogues touching on metaphysics love justice civic duty and countless other ancient themes and motifs which remain relevant today. Plato is the reason we are able to construct a picture of Socrates' life: his work provides a good deal of historical information on the Golden Age of Athens. This is a very attractive set of Plato's works edited by two seminal classical scholars. Minor wear to the extremities: overall the bindings are quite sharp except for the front joint of volume nine which is starting. Each volume's front pastedown has an armorial bookplate and an early nineteenth-century name. Volumes six nine and ten each have a small unobtrusive dampspot to a part of their textblocks.

Folding diagram in Philebilus engraved plate in Meno. Rare first editions of this important work are scarce. "That Plato should be the first of all the ancient philosophers to be translated and broadcast by the printing press was inevitable. Plato’s central conception of a universe of ideas Perfect Types of which material objects are imperfect forms and his ethical code based on action according to human nature developed by education which represents the authority of the State fitted in as well with the philosophical religious and political thought of western Europe in the 15th century striving to free itself from the shackles of scholasticism as it did with those of the Byzantine Greeks by whom Plato was repopularized in the western world The dialogues are pervaded by two dominant impulses: a love of truth and a passion for human improvement" PMM 27.

1763138322Glasgow: Printed by Robert and Andrew Foulis 1763. First edition in English of Plato's Republic marking the first appearance in the English language of Plato's profoundly influential dialogue concerning the nature of justice. Quarto bound in full polished calf with raised gilt bands to the spine morocco spine label lettered in gilt all edges speckled red. Harry Spens was a minister at the parish of Wemyss in Fife and respected classicist. In his introduction he professes his intent in his translation is: "To give the English Reader a view of Plato's sentiments and manner of writing and to stir up the youth to the study of the Ancients." Richard Garnett in his own introduction of the Everyman's Library reprint of this translation laments the relative lack of critical attention paid to it writing: "On the whole Spens's version should not be lightly esteemed. It is clearly the work of a scholar and a man of considerable literary ability." The brothers Robert and Andrew Foulis were renowned printers of classical works in their time sometimes referred to as 'the Elzevirs of Britain.' Their works mostly intended for scholars were "much sought after as admirable specimens of typography and are noticeable for their severely plain elegance" DNB 7: 514. In very good condition. Rare and desirable. "Its setting and its characters are full of political meaning. Its arguments are tantalizing and its fables fascinating… Plato's utopia is alarming and his metaphysics are intoxicating" Levi 348. The Republic "has reinforced dedication awakened vocations to leadership and strengthened the morale of those modest and competent souls who are always in reality the guardians of society" Rexroth 79.
