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.

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

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.

Some small and old ink annotations and underlinings Note: The 'Lives and Doctrines of the Philosophers' of the Greek author Diogenes Laertius who lived probably in the first half of the third century A.D. is still 'our best indirect source of knowledge for classical philosophy'. The 'Lives' comprises both a biographical and a doxographical account basically focused on Greek thinkers from the 6th to the 3rd century B.C. from Thales to Epicurus although references to schools and individuals extend to at least the 2nd century A.D.' The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 271 Diogenes Laertius drew his material from earlier compilations and his doxographic account offers long excerpts from primary texts not transmitted elsewhere for example Epicurus' 'Principal Doctrines'. Diogenes' reliability and value differ from passage to passage. Some give invaluable information other passages offer mere caricature. His approach is not a 'systematic analysis but rather a eulogistic narrative of the course of ancient philosophy and 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 like Leonardo Bruni Machiavelli Erasmus et alii 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 § The 'editio princeps' was published in Basel in 1533. The Latin translation was published much earlier in Rome in 1472. This translation was later revised several times and appears also in this book. It was made by the Italian Hellenist Ambrogio Traversari also known as Ambrosius Traversari 1386-1439. Our 1759 edition is a reissue of the edition of 1731 of Longolius which in turn was a revision of the 1692 edition which was produced by the Danish philologist Marcus Meibom or Marcus Meibomius. The edition of 1731 was produced by the German philologist and historian Paulus Daniel Longolius 1704-1779 from 1735 till his death Rector of the Gymnasium in Hof. He wrote on local history and was an editor of Zedler's Universallexikon. He also published three texts of classical authors: 'Plinii epistolae' Amsterdam 1734 this Diogenes edition Curiae i.e. Hof Saale 1739 and a Gellius edition Curiae 1741. ADB 19 156/57 The 1731 edition contained besides the Greek text and Latin translation a preface commentaries and engraved portraits. Because this edition was out of print and there was much demand for it the publisher Paulus Krausius decided to produce this Leipsic edition of 1759 which is in fact a reissue of the 1731 edition of Longolius omitting however the portraits the preface and the commentaries and offering the Greek text the Latin translation and 94 pages of indexes.

1692000010150Amstelaedami: Apud Henricum Wetstenium 1692. Later edition. Hardcover.

Volume two contains the Syntagma de Mulieribus Philosophis a compendium of biographical notices of female philosophers and historical figures volume two also has notes on the philosophers and notes on the life of Diogenes Laertius including the notes of Kuhnius. 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.
