175739157Berlin: Gottlieb August Lange. 1757. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good-. Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings.; Small 8vo; 9 p.l. & 140 pages; Contemporary pattern printed paper-covered boards green paper label on spine titled in ms. OCLC: 504805539 First edition of this translation into German verse of Theocritus a third century B.C. poet usually thought of as the creator of ancient Greek bucolic poetry. There is a faint ink signature of a previous owner at the blank top margin of the title page. The paper is somewhat toned throughout with one brief ink mark in the text along with a few blots in the margins and the blank top corner of the last leaf is folded down without loss. The Idylls are grouped here as usual with works by Moschus and Bion. During his brief lifetime 1730-1761 the translator Christian Gottlieb Lieberkühn studied theology at the University of Halle preparing a dissertation under Siegmund Jakob Baumgarten. He served in the Prussian Army during the Silesian Wars and as a chaplin during the Seven Years War. Somehow he found the time to publish at least five original literary works and also earned a reputation as a translator. In addition to the present translation of Theokritos Moschus and Bion Lieberkühn also published a translation of the Pastorals of Publius Vergilius Maro and the French text of Georg Ludvig von Bar's 'Epitre diverses sur des subjets diverse.' .

17134638London: Printed for E. Curll 1713. ii iv 60 105 3 4 ads frontispiece. Bound without the portrait of Creech found in some copies. Contemporary Cambridge-style panelled calf red morocco label. Lightly toned some soiling. Extremities rubbed a few scrapes joints cracking at head of spine. The first edition of Creech’s translation of Theocritus by the famously unscrupulous publisher Edmund Curll following its 1684 Oxford first appearance. Curll’s edition was reissued in 1721 with a cancel title-page suggesting that it did not sell as well as Curll may have hoped. The BL copy has two engraved portraits one of Creech and one of Theocritus but the copies in Leeds and Oxford appear to have only one so it may have been issued thus. ESTC T138189. Printed for E.

17604496Oxford: n. pr. 1760. 4to pp. 8 numbered 1 91-94 94 93 42. Stitched as issued sometime folded horizontally. Toned in places final page browned some spots and light soiling edges a little creased. ‘Thick’ in a small contemporary hand to top corner of first page. An unrecorded specimen for an unspecified edition of Theocritus but probably Warton’s highly regarded version issued in 1770 by the Clarendon Press. The cover title reads simply ‘Specimens of Theocritus’ but no other quarto edition of the author was published in Great Britain in the 18th century. The arrangement is unusual: the first page is the section title. The second prints the introduction and first ten lines of Idyll VI while the third page begins Idyll VI again but prints the first twelve lines this time without accents. The fourth page follows on from the text on the second now with a Latin translation at the foot in a single column. The fifth page starts Idyll VI again printing the first 12 lines without accents but omitting the scholiast’s introduction adding instead a Latin translation in two columns. The sixth page is just a Latin translation of the first thirty or so lines in one column and the seventh page contains scholia and the eighth variorum notes. Warton’s edition uses a layout similar to that on the third page here though in the published book Idyll VI appears on p. 31 and other details of typography vary; the type itself is similarly very close but with considerable variation in use of ligatures between the specimen and the published text. On the other hand Warton’s edition also does not include variorium notes and the text of the scholia there is significantly different to the specimen page. The crucial element is that Warton’s edition was notable for the absence of accents in its Greek text - testing whether such a change would work may make sense of the variations in this specimen and the variorum notes may have been cut along with portions of the scholia by the time the edition was in the press. Letters between Toup and Warton indicate that printing was underway as early as May 1768 so this specimen would likely predate that. [n. pr.] unknown
