With several indices. Brunet II 93. Dibdin 503-504. Graesse 396. Moss 400. Oxford Classical Dictionary 474-475. Brunet calls this edition the most complete and the most beautiful of Diogenes' Lives. Moss refers to it as a rare elegant and excellent edition with the most correct and critical revision of the Greek text. Dibdin praises it as the best and most splendid extant edition of the author's works. Diogenes Laertius' Lives were likely composed around the middle of the third century A.C.E. Diogenes writes about philosophers from Ionia the pre-Socratics and about a few Stoic figures. His biographies span from Thales to Epicurus. He names his historical sources and his work is quite copious in its list of quotations and its references to other writers. Diogenes' work on the Stoic philosophers and on Epicurus is particularly valuable from a historical perspective. A lovely edition of ancient Greek and Roman history with some of Renaissance Europe's greatest classicists contributing to its production. The front flyleaf of volume two is slightly misaligned and the second volume's rear hinge shows a tiny split and a repair not affecting the integrity of the binding.

Petit Jean Petit's 4th device on t.p.; Guy Marchant's device Silvestre 39 IA; 153.795;. ærtius divides all the Greek philosophers into two classes: those of the Ionic and those of the Italic school. He derives the first from Anaximander the second from Pythagoras. After Socrates he divides the Ionian philosophers into three branches: a Plato and the Academics down to Clitomachus; b the Cynics down to Chrysippus; c Aristotle and Theophrastus. The series of Italic philosophers consists after Pythagoras of the following: Telanges Xenophanes Parmenides Zeno of Elea Leucippus Democritus and others down to Epicurus. The first seven books are devoted to the Ionic philosophers; the last three treat the Italic school.<br /> The work of Diogenes is a crude contribution towards the history of philosophy. It contains a brief account of the lives doctrines and sayings of most persons who have been called philosophers; and though the author is limited in his philosophical abilities and assessment of the various schools the book is valuable as a collection of facts which we could not have learned from any other source and is entertaining as a sort of pot-pourri on the subject. Diogenes also includes samples of his own wretched poetry about the philosophers he discusses.<br /> Diogenes is generally as reliable as whatever source he happens to be copying from at that moment. Especially when Diogenes is setting down amusing or scandalous stories about the lives and deaths of various philosophers which are supposed to serve as fitting illustrations of their thought the reader should be wary. The article on Epicurus however is quite valuable since it contains some original letters of that philosopher which comprise a summary of the Epicurean doctrines. IEP.

EXTREMELY RARE FIRST PRINTING OF THE EDITIO PRINCEPS OF THIS REMARKABLY IMPORTANT BOOK AND A COPY WHICH IS OF THE VERY FINEST STATE AND CONDITION. The editio princeps of Diogenes Laertius’ Lives of the Famous Philosophers is the most important source of our knowledge in the history of Greek philosophy from Thales to Pyrrho. <br> The text was known only in the Latin translation by Ambrogio Traversari 1386-1439 which made its first appearance in print in Rome around 1472 and which was widely reprinted during the fourteenth and the first decades of the sixteenth century. This is the first printing of the book in its original language.<br> The edition is dedicated by the typographers Froben and Episcopius to the scholars and in their epistle they declare their publishing plan: to print at least a work per year able to combine usefulness and pleasure. <br> The text follows a manuscript provided by the professor of Greek and Hebrew at the University of Wittenberg Matthaeus Goldhahn 1480-1553 called Aurigallus probably a copy of the codex Raudnitzianus Lobkowicensis vi.F.c.38 at the time preserved in Komotau Bohemie in the house of the politician Bohuslav Lobkowitz von Hassenstein c. 1460-1510 and presently in the Library Národní Knihovna of Prague.
