120058Paris Parisiis Apud Hieronymum de Marnef sub Pelicano Monte D. Hilarii 1560. 12mo. 59628 index2 epilogue 'Candido Lectori'1 woodcut illustration1 woodcut printer's mark of De Marnef p. Later vellum 13 cm - The greatest known source of information about the philosophers of antiquity Ref: Hoffmann 1569; Graesse 2397 erroneously dating 1561 Details: 2 thongs laced through the joints. Woodcut printer's mark of De Marnef on the title BaTyR no. 28133 depicting a pelican on his nest feeding his young with his own blood; the motto is: 'In me mors in me vita'. On the last page another version of De Marnef's printer's mark BaTyR no. 2882 now depicting a griffon that holds in its claw a cubic weight to which is attached a winged globe. The cube stands for constancy and the globe for fortune; the motto is: 'Virtutis et gloriae comes invidia'. Marnef used this version of his mark only at the end of the books he printed; This printer's mark very closely resembles that of the Lyonese printer Sébastien Gryphius only the motto is different. Greek text and a Latin translation. Condition: Vellum somewhat age-toned. Short title in ink on the back. Front flyleaf removed. Stamp on front pastedown and on the title; tiny hole in outer margins of title; 4 tiny holes in last leaf; Binder's error: he bound leaf X7 p. 333/4 probably a cancel before leaf X3 Note: This is according to Graesse a repetition of the edition of 'De vita et moribus etc.' edited by Johannes Boulierius Jean Boulier Lyon 1556. We compared both works and conclude that Graesse is more or less right. The typesetter of the 1560 edition had most probably the 1556 edition before him. He repeats even the printed marginal remarks and annotations. But there are occasionally minute differences in the Greek text and sometimes the 1560 edition adds an explanatory marginal remark. In book 7 p. 340 in the life of Zeno Criticus for instance we found a printed 'varia lectio'. There 1556 has only therizonti 1560 adds in the margin: ' Forte erizonti contentioso'. In 1556 the number 58 is quintaginta & octo in 1560 Duodesexaginta. p. 425 & 342 In the epilogue dated 1560 we read that we have here a text revised and ameliorated with the help of a manuscript 'cuius quamvis mutili veritate & fide non pauca restituenda emendandaque curavit Hieronymus Marnefius Parisiensis Typographus'. Leaf 2Q7. This activity is confirmed in the 'Extrait du Privilège du Roi' which grants Marnefius the exclusive right to publish this text 'Lequel auroit esté nouvelement reveu visité corrigé additionné & augmenté' for the next six years. Leaf A1 verso which is the verso of the title Immediately after this privilege and preceding the Latin translation we find a 3 page letter of Fr. Ambrosius addressed to Cosimo de' Medici. This letter is meant to assure the reader that this 1560 translation is a reliable old and often printed one based on the translation that was made by the Italian priest theologian and Hellenist Ambrogio Traversari O.S.B. Cam. also known as Ambrosius Traversari or Ambrosius Camaldulensis 1386-1439. He worked between 1424 and 1433 on this translation which came to be widely circulated in manuscript form and was only published in Rome in 1472. In this dedicatory letter Ambrosius Traversari tells us that he translated the 'Lives of the Philosophers' at the request of Cosimo de' Medici. 'Tibi . hoc opus dedicatum fuit qui & autoritate tua in primis nos ad illud impulisti'. p. 5 The 'Lives of the Philosophers' of the Greek author Diogenes Laertius who probably lived in the first half of the 3rd cent. A.D. is a compendium full of biographies of the ancient philosophers from Thales to Epicurus and their doctrines. Diogenes Laertius drew his material from earlier compilations. His reliability and value differ from passage to passage. Some give invaluable information other passages offer mere caricature. OCD 2nd ed. p. 348/49 It 'provides not a systematic analysis but rather a eulogistic narrative of the course of ancient philosophy . of the four main classical schools the Academy Peripatetics Stoics and Epicureans. Anecdotal and perhaps largely apocryphal in nature still it gave to Renaissance humanists some conception of ancient philosophy especially of Platonic and Epicurean thought'. Ch.L. Stinger 'Humanism and the Church Fathers: Ambrogio Traversari 1386-1439 and Christian antiquity in the Italian Renaissance' Albany 1977 p. 71 Provenance: On the front pastedown a green stamp of 'Univ.

From the library of Schulbibliothek des Gymnasiums zu Salzwedel with discard stamp and small German ownership signature. This second volume complete in itself is famous for the author's work on women philosophers. Diogenes Laertius is the prime source of biographical information on Greek philosophers and the present volume by Aegidius Menagius Gilles Ménage of Angers 1613-92 presents the commentator's elaborate notes on this author. Perhaps more interesting to modern readers is the small "Historical account of philosophic women" which includes among many others both Aspasia and Hypatia.

An attractive copy of a very rare edition. ; 8vo. 16.8 x 11 x 3.1 cms; 468 20 pages; Diogenes Laertius who lived around 230AD wrote in Greek and compiled biographies of the major Greek philosophers from earlier source material. Much of his text is comprised of the famous sayings of Greek philosophers. Though he is one of our main sources for the history of Greek philosophy his work is not up to modern scholarly standards being haphazard unreliable and uncritical. His article about Epicurus is considered especially valuable as it contains some original letters by the philosopher that are not extant elsewhere. The Latin translation dedicated by Cosimo dei Medici is by St Ambrose Traversari of the Camaldoli Order 1386-1439. As a theologian he defended the primacy of the Pope. As a humanist he devoted himself to translating into Latin important Greek texts in particular the writings of the Greek Church Fathers. Sebastian Greyff known as Sebastian Gryphius 1491-1556 was born in Swaben Germany. He set up shop in Lyon and started the Griffin workshop in 1536. By the 1540s he was known as the Prince of the Lyon Booktrade publishing scholary accurate editions of the Greek & Latin classics in 8vo and 16mo formats. He fomed a humanist circle around him comprising members such as Alciati Sadoleto Scève and Dolet. His son Antoine continued the business after his death. Jean de Tournes who later became a major printer in Lyon was his foreman. Baudrier H. L. Bib. Lyonnaise VIII p. 145 . Apud Seb. Gryphium unknown

This is the first Italian edition of the Transactions of the Parisian Sanhedrin; or Acts of the Assembly of Israelitish Deputies of France and Italy. Convened at Paris by an Imperial and Royal Decree dated May 30 1806. In 1806 the French Emperor Napoleon called a meeting of one hundred and eleven leading Jews of France Italy and Germany in Paris. This meeting and many subsequent other ones followed several years of loud outcries against the French Jews by various regional factions. Made equal before the law after the French Revolution hitherto suppressed Jews in Catholic France were attempting to advance themselves in the new Empire but had become the object of scorn and hatred. Napoleon who had designs on the Middle East decided that he would use this situations to further his own political ends. The assemblage of Notables consisting in the main of rabbis were presente with twelve questions that dealt with national patriotism intermarriage and other issues of national and religious concern. Initially Napoleon had intended to berate and pressure the Jewish community into accepting his fiats but he gradually shifted towards a more accommodating attitude and the delegates managed to answer his dictums to his satisfaction. Napoleon now understood that it was certainly to his advantage to cultivate the support of the Jews of Eruope rather than castigate them and he determined that setting up a Jewish advisory body called after ancient Jewish tradition the Sanhedrin could work to his own ends. This first Sanhedrin was convened in Paris in 1806. While the action of Napoleon aroused in many Jews of Germany the hope that influenced by it their governments also would grant them the rights of citizenship others looked upon it as a political contrivance.
