Grell "Thucydide en France de la Renaissance à la Révolution" in <em>Ombres de Thucydide. La réception de l'historien depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'au début du XXe siècle</em> Ausonius 2010 pp. 587–600.</p><p>An edition published at the instigation of François I</p><p>First 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."</p><p>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.</p><p>Important copy annotated by a reader belonging to the "Republic of Letters"</p><p>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 <em>Honneste-Homme</em> preface f. a 7v.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Numerous philosophical historical references & resonances with the history of his time</p><p>Our annotator makes numerous references to ancient Greek and Latin historical works Appian of Alexandria at f. XLVIII v° Aristotle's <em>Politics</em> 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 <em>Florentine Histories</em> and the <em>Discourses</em> the history of Paolo Giovio and Jean Bodin.</p><p>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.</p><p>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."</p><p>Likewise at f. CXXVI v° where he draws on Paolo Giovio's <em>History of His Time</em> 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."</p><p>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 <em>De la rép</em> ch. 6 p. 91" f. XCI r°.</p><p>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."</p><p>A reader fond of geography & seafaring who mentions Magellan & relies on the maps of Ortelius</p><p>Our 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°.</p><p>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 <em>Dialogue de la longitude est-ouest</em> 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.</p><p>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."</p><p>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°.</p><p><strong>Precious volume annotated by a humanist scholar of the 1620s manifestly close to the networks of the Republic of Letters</strong></p> Josse Bade

Gilt red morocco letterpiece on the back. Printer's mark of the Giunta family on the title: a fleur-de-lys. 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
