TUCIDIDE ISTORICO GRECO DELLE GUERRE FATTE TRA I POPOLI DELLA MOREA E GLI ATENIESI 2 Volumes

33877Verona: 1735 Vol 1 1736 Vol 2. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. First edition in Italian two volumes vol. 1 380 pp vol. 2 280 pp vellum 4to 12 x 8.5" 30 x 21.5cm. Easily one of the oldest books in our library still in good condition especially given its almost three centuries of age. A wonderful example of Italian printing and binding during the Enlightenment period. These 2 volumes on the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta in 5th century BCE by Thucydides are considered to be some of the first true Historical studies in the modern sense and this Italian translation helped disseminate ideas about War - it's dynamics and consequences Democracy and Governance Politics and Human Nature throughout Italy and Europe just when these topics were being widely debated. Translated from the Greek by Francesco Di Soldo Strozzi Fiorentino these volumes also include a life of the author by Tomaso Porcacchi a chronological table by Tomaso Gale in the appendix and a foldout map of Sicily. Edited by Dionigi Ramanzini and dedicated to Piero Gradenigo. A wonderful piece of History this copy of the Istorico Greco shows wear consistent with its age some stains wavy vellum and general scuffing. A very good copy nonetheless with an indecipherable very old previous owner signature reading " Guiseppe di." in quill and ink. A fine addition for the Antiquarian book collector. 1735 (Vol 1), 1736 (Vol 2) unknown

Woodcut initials good paper fine printing Condition: old and small inscription on front pastedown; a bigger one on the front flyleaf. Name and a faint small inkstain on the title. Some very small wormholes near the lower edge keeping far away from any text; holes have occasionally been mended with a layer of thin paper Note: This volume contains the exhaustive and learned lecture notes of Fabio Paolino da Udine or Fabius Paulinus Utinensis on the description of the plague epidemy by the Greek historian Thucydides Thuc. Hist. 2.47-58. This epidemy reached the war-stricken city of Athens in 430 B.C. at the beginning of the Peloponnesian war which lasted from 431 till 404 B.C. Thucydides is the first to describe the social upheaval of a pandemy and its consequences. The identification of what was the cause of this pandemy is until this day a matter of controversy. Fabius Paulinus Utinensis born at Udine ca. 1535 was the very man for a commentary on this subject. 'His first training in Greek and Latin was at Venice with Bernardino Partenio. Later he went to Padua where he graduated in philosophy and medicine but studied rhetoric and Arabic as well. He practiced medicin for a time before he became public professor at Venice where he taught Greek in the School of San Marco and Latin in the Collegio de'Notai. Both chairs he obtained in 1588 as the successor of Bernardino Partenio'. 'Medieval and Renaissance Latin translations and commentaries vol. 8' Washington 2003 p. 180. Paulinus held his lectures in the library of the San Marco Gymnasium. The work starts with a list of 232 questions concerning the possible causes of the pest. Each chapter is preceded by the relevant Greek text and a Latin translation. § On the flyleaf a former owner has written a quotation from Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' chapter XLIII note 90: 'I was indebted to Dr. Hunter for an elaborate commentary on this part of Thucydides the plague of Athens a quarto of 600 pages Ven. 1603 apud Juntas which was pronounced in St. Marks Library by Fabius Paullinus sic Utinensis a physician and philosopher'. These passages of Thucydides helped Gibbon to understand the impact of the pest epidemy which ravaged Konstantinople in 542 under the emperor Iustinian Provenance: Name on the title of 'Joannis Molini'. This must be a relative of one of the 3 senators of the Gymnasium to whom Paulinus dedicates his work. The book is dedicated to 'M. Anto. Memmo' and the noblemen 'Francisco Molino' & 'Antonio Priolo' Collation: a-d4 e6; A-4F4 Photographs on request hardcover

To stimulate student discussion and comparison For reference Lincoln's address at Gettysburg is included in an appendix. Translations are in English including introduction and notes as well as literary and historical commentary. -- AUTHOR: Jud Herrman is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at Allegheny College. -- FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "Throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BC at the close of each campaign season the Athenian state honored its war-dead in a public burial ceremony choosing a prominent orator to give the keynote address. This volume collects all of the surviving state funeral orations from classical Athens. Like tragedy these speeches present an image of an idealized Athens. The narratives of past Athenian glories found in these speeches feature many of the same mythical tales that were also presented on stage. Like many of the plays the funeral orations emphasize important themes such as Athenian unity their aid to suppliants and their willingness to drive away foreign invaders to protect the other Greeks. The selective version of more recent history found in the funeral orations also highlights these same qualities by focusing on the role of Athens during the Persian Wars 490-479 when the city helped save the other Greeks from invading foreigners and by passing over other events such as the Peloponnesian War 431404 in which Athens opposed fellow Greeks. Although nearly all of the surviving Greek tragedies are set in the distant mythical past the significant exception is Aeschylus Persians the audience in the theater would recognize aspects of contemporary Athens in the depiction of ancient Athenian heroes such as Theseus. The funeral orations draw similar connections more explicitly by presenting a continuous narrative tying the present generation with the great heroes of long ago." -- with a bonus offer-- .

154500009254Venetia = Venice: Vincenzo Vaugris = Vincenzo Valgrisi 1545. First Italian edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Small 8vo. 24 440 1 pp. Every other text page paginated. Recent early 20th century tan paper-covered boards. Title page with publisher's device woodcut initials final page of text with publisher's device on the reverse. Translated from the Italian on the title page: "With annotations and explanations of the historical places and most detailed alphabetized tables of all the wars the peace agreements the alliances formed the naval battles the daily events the cities taken the portents predicted and the leveled burned destroyed places that are recorded in history." Translated from the Greek into the Tuscan language by Francesco di Soldo Strozzi Fiorentino. A Manual of Classical Bibliography Joseph Moss 700. The Oxford Classical Dictionary 1134; 1516-1521. The first edition in Italian. Moss records this imprint as the first edition in Italian and writes that it has been reprinted several times both with and without dates. Adams records an undated Venetian imprint from Baldassar de Constantini Adams T-684 but not the Venetian Valgrisi imprint the Constantini imprint recorded by Adams shares the same collation as the Valgrisi imprint. Thucydides' Peloponnesian War is one of the first written histories dependent on eyewitness accounts and primary sources to be produced in the Western world. The work is divided into several parts: an introductory book a section on The Ten Years War focused on the conflict between Athens and Corinth the peace that followed this war The Peace of Nicias the Sicilian War the Plague that struck Athens with the last book Book 8 a portion of Thucydides history on the Decelean War. Thucydides intended his histories to describe the events that directly follow the ones recorded by Herodotus. He began writing the books soon after the Peloponnesian War started and recorded several of the events soon after they happened. From his 20s to his 50s Thucydides worked on his histories and the work reflects his changing perspective over time. His scientific exacting approach to describing the causes of the war and the fall of Athens along with his brief and concise prose all help his work to stand apart from the other historical writings of Classical Antiquity. Binding is Near Fine with two tiny splits to the paper over the joints leaves rarely show foxing with one or two corners missing not affecting the text marginal annotations or the catch words. Overall a nice clean copy. Vincenzo Vaugris [= Vincenzo Valgrisi] hardcover

Grell "Thucydide en France de la Renaissance à la Révolution" in Ombres de Thucydide. La réception de l'historien depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'au début du XXe siècle Ausonius 2010 pp. 587–600.An edition published at the instigation of François IFirst edition of the translation by Claude de Seyssel based on Lorenzo Valla's Latin translation published at the instigation of François I by Jacques Colin his almoner and ordinary reader. The printing was made thanks to the manuscript kept in the king's library and the colophon explains the meaning of this gesture: "… et finablement a esté publié et mis en lumière par le commandement du tres chrestien Roy Françoys premier de ce nom au prouffit et edification de la noblesse et subjectz de son Royaulme."Born in Savoy around 1450 Claude de Seyssel pursued a diplomatic career before becoming an influential prelate he died archbishop of Turin in 1520. He translated several historical works including Diodorus of Sicily offering his presentation manuscripts to Louis XII. The contract linking Josse Bade and François I is still preserved.Important copy annotated by a reader belonging to the "Republic of Letters"Our volume was very extensively annotated with great regularity by a humanist scholar from the late 1620s to the early 1630s. Indeed at f. CLXXVIIv an event of the year 1629 is mentioned designated as "this year": "de nostre temps ès villes huguenottes qu'on desmolit cest an 1629." The year 1632 also appears in a reference to Nicolas Faret's Honneste-Homme preface f. a 7v.Our reader — who wrote about 1000 notes often substantial throughout the work — proves emblematic of the Republic of Letters: he makes the Ancients Thucydides Aristotle and the Moderns Machiavelli Bodin Giovio converse in the margins. He summons geography Ortelius as well as technical treatises; and relies on examples from navigators such as Magellan.His humanistic cursive handwriting accompanies a precise method: to state maxims support them with examples then give precise references. The echoes to recent publications or to the current affairs of the reign of Louis XIII finally reveal an attentive eye on contemporary events faithful to the critical ideal of European men of letters. A profile emerges that places our annotator in the lineage or the milieu of Naudé the Dupuy brothers or Peiresc.Numerous philosophical historical references & resonances with the history of his timeOur annotator makes numerous references to ancient Greek and Latin historical works Appian of Alexandria at f. XLVIII v° Aristotle's Politics at f. LVII v° Livy at f. XLIX v° Tacitus and Zonaras at f. XXV r° but it is above all the political and philosophical works of the Renaissance that he more readily invokes particularly Machiavelli Florentine Histories and the Discourses the history of Paolo Giovio and Jean Bodin.His method often consists in formulating in the margin a general maxim which he illustrates with solid historical references confirming the usefulness — stressed by Seyssel — of the numerous speeches "contions" included in Thucydides' work. He possesses enough Italian to quote Machiavelli in the text on several occasions.At f. XXIIIr concerning the Spartans who hear the complaints of the Athenians and send them out so they may deliberate among themselves he notes that "les intéressés doivent sortir des assemblées ou leurs affaires se deliberent Tite Live dec. 3 L. 6 fol. 140 fol. 141. dec 4. L. 5 fol. 135."Likewise at f. CXXVI v° where he draws on Paolo Giovio's History of His Time which contains long developments on the Sack of Rome in 1527: "quiconque n'obtient à ce qu'il desire se persuade qu'on luy fat rot vide Jovio l. 31 fol. 231 du pape Clem 7 piqué contre l'empereur Charles 5."Or again at the beginning of chapter 7 of book III where he cites Jean Bodin in support: "Toute ceste harangue tend à persuader qu'il faut pardonner. Bod. li. 4 De la rép ch. 6 p. 91" f. XCI r°.From time to time our reader makes fascinating parallels with his own era: this is the case at f. CLXXVIIv where he connects a passage of book V chap. 10 of Thucydides on the effectiveness of the mobilisation of the entire Athenian people to strengthen the walls with the contemporary effort to destroy Huguenot strongholds in the France of Louis XIII: "de nostre temps ès villes huguenottes qu'on desmolit cest an 1629."A reader fond of geography & seafaring who mentions Magellan & relies on the maps of OrteliusOur annotator also pays attention to geographic and historical accuracy and makes use of comparative cartography of his time to picture the situation of a battle: from Athens to Mytilene he compares the map of Hondius who counts 240 miles while Ortelius counts only 200 f. XCIIIv°.He often relies on the testimony of sailors mathematicians or geographers for greater accuracy: for example concerning the size of the kingdom of the Odrysians he refers to the Dialogue de la longitude est-ouest by Toussaint de Bessard Norman mathematician and hydrographer published in 1574. One sees how attached he is to the testimonial history of Thucydides as opposed to the more anthropological and sometimes unreliable history of Herodotus.At f. 80 verso appears a reference to Magellan: after stating that "un capitaine de marine doit sur toutes choses prudence garder à soy" our annotator then mentions "Almeida près du cap de bonne espérance l'an 1510" & "Magellan à Zébu Cebu l'an 1521" references he finds "chez Osorius en l'Histoire de Portugal livre 6 no 16."A few textual remarks and corrections are also to be noted: in chapter 4 of book II he notes that there is an improbability in the length of the wall and does not know to whom he should attribute the error: "ce passage estoit corrompu en l'original latin que Seyssel a traduit ou il a mal conceu l'intention de Thucicide …" f. XLVIII v°.Precious volume annotated by a humanist scholar of the 1620s manifestly close to the networks of the Republic of Letters Josse Bade

The History of the Grecian War: Eight Bookes of the Peloponnesian Warre written by Thucydides

1676922London: Andrew Clark 1676. Second Edition. Folio 13" Tall Fine Leather Binding Bound by A.B. Buck. Near Fine. The History of the Grecian War: In Eight Books Written by Thucydides. Faithfully Translated from the Original by Thomas Hobbes of Malmsbury. Second Edition 1676. Printed in London by Andrew Clark for Charles Harper. A handsome beautifully bound 1676 second edition of Thomas Hobbes’s landmark translation of Thucydides’s History of the Peloponnesian War. Originally published in 1629 Hobbes’s translation was his first published work and remains one of the most celebrated and muscular English translations of the great Greek historian. Complete with striking fold-out maps and detailed engravings this volume represents a brilliant intersection of classical history and 17th-century English political philosophy. The Hobbes Translation: Highly sought after by collectors of both classical history and political philosophy. Hobbes translated Thucydides to warn his fellow Englishmen against the dangers of democracy making this text a precursor to his later masterpiece Leviathan. Superb Cartography & Engravings: Features the magnificent "Mapp of Antient Greece" expressly designed by Thomas Hobbes himself alongside intricate fold-out plates depicting city fortifications regional maps and boasts a beautifully engraved architectural title page. Imprint: London: Printed by Andrew Clark for Charles Harper and are to be sold by him at the Flower-de-luce over against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleet-street MDCLXXVI 1676. Second Edition much Corrected and Amended. Large folio 13"x9" bound by A.B. Buck in full dark brown Morocco with six compartments and five raised bands to spine with bright gilt rule to bands. Binding and hinges are excellent new end papers and paste downs elaborate engraved frontispiece/title page depicting Thucydides and scenes from the Peloponnesian War. The text block is crisp with generous margins. Includes the dedication to Sir William Cavendish. The volume contains all fold-out maps and plans including the notable map of Ancient Greece by Hobbes himself and detailed engravings of fortified cities. Early neat ink marginalia/manuscript notes on the endpapers add a lovely touch of historical provenance. Pages are bright and clean with minimal age toning/foxing/soiling. Thomas Hobbes undertook this translation during a period of rising political tension in England. He chose Thucydides because in Hobbes's own view the Greek historian demonstrated the failures of democracy and the necessity of strong centralized authority. Because of this this translation is not just a classical history—it is a foundational text in the development of modern political thought. Key Conflicts & Campaigns within the Text The Archidamian War Books 1–5: This is the first decade of the conflict characterized by repeated Spartan invasions of Attica and Athenian naval raids on the Peloponnesian coast. It includes the famous account of the devastating Plague of Athens which killed the great Athenian leader Pericles. The Siege of Plataea Books 2–3: One of the most famous and harrowing sieges in ancient history. Thucydides provides incredible tactical details of the Spartan siege engines the Plataean counter-defenses and the ultimate desperate breakout attempt by the defenders in the dead of winter. The Mytilenean Revolt Book 3: A critical moment where the city of Mytilene attempts to break away from the Athenian Empire. This section contains the famous "Mytilenean Debate" a chilling discussion on the ethics of empire justice and whether to execute an entire rebel population. The Battle of Pylos and Sphacteria Book 4: A shocking Athenian victory where they managed to trap and capture elite Spartan hoplites on a small island. This completely upended the myth of Spartan invincibility as Spartans were expected to fight to the death rather than surrender. The Sicilian Expedition Books 6–7: Often considered the climax of Thucydides's narrative this covers Athens' disastrous hubristic attempt to conquer Syracuse in Sicily. It is a massive self-contained tragedy within the broader war ending in the total annihilation of the Athenian fleet and army. For collectors Books 6 and 7 are often considered the greatest pieces of military writing in antiquity. The Ionian War / The Oligarchic Coup Book 8: The final book covers the beginning of the end for Athens detailing naval warfare in the Aegean the intervention of the Persian Empire and the political collapse of the Athenian democracy into a short-lived oligarchy. Thucydides's manuscript abruptly cuts off in the year 411 BC. . Andrew Clark unknown

Johannes Herwagen was a protestant printer from Strasbourg. He became a citizen of Basel in 1528 and married Johann Froben's widow. Froben had made Basel a centre for the priting of Greek and Latin texts modelling his business on the example of scholar-printer Aldus Mantutius. Herwagen continued the tradition collaborating at first with his stepson Hieronymus Froben and his brother Nicholas Episcopius and printing under his own name from 1531. He was fined and expelled from the city in 1542 after having an affair with his stepson's wife but Landgrave Philip of Hesse Duke Christoph von Württemberg and the University of Basel campaigned for him so that he was pardoned in 1545 and a period of house arrest and a tavern ban were both lifted in 1547 by the City Council. He published the first edition in Greek of Euclid's Elements 1533 and other works such as Heliodorus' Aithiopika 1534. These are the third printings of the 'father of history' and of Thucydides in the original Greek. Book unknown
