156128328Lipsiae Excudebat Iohannes Rhamba 1561. Small 8vo. Later blue boards ab. 1800. Spine with minor loss and a few cracks. First few leaves with minor soiling but otherwise a nice and clean copy. 19th century owner's inscription to inside of front cover: "Colegii Thomani". Lovely woodcut opening initial. Beautiful Greek script. 48 ff. <br/><br/><em>Extremely scarce first edition thus containing all of Theophrastus' 23 characters in Greek and Latin being the first edition of Auberius' excellent Latin translation and first edition with Lycio's interesting commentaries. "This very rare edition which presents us with the Greek text of H. Stephan Stephanus contains a new Latin version by Claudius Auberius who was scarcely twenty years of age when he composed it. The notes are critical and historical; sometimes bold but always erudite. This version and these notes were republished in Zuinger's edition of Aristotle's "Ethics" at Basil. fol. 1582." Dibdin II:500. This version of Theophrastus' milestone work the first recorded attempt at systematic character writing became hugely influential and is still referred to in modern editions of the text as Auberius' translation is regarded as one of the best and most important interpretations of the text. Claude Aubery or Claudius Auberius ca. 1540-1596 was a noted philosopher and medical doctor professor of Philosophy in Lausanne. He translated several Greek texts into Latin but is best remembered for his excellent version of Theophrastus' "Characters" which was highly influential throughout the Renaissance and which was incorporated into later Renaissance Aristotle-editions as the standard-version of Theophrastus' text. Theophrastus ca. 371- ca. 287 BC Aristotle's successor at the Lyceum and probably the most famous Aristotelian of all times successfully presided over the Peripatetic School for 36 years and here wrote a number of works. The most famous of them is arguably his great moral opus "The Characters" which continues to amaze readers to this day. It introduced the "character sketch" which became the core of the Character as a genre and as such it influenced the entire literay tradition of the Western world. The fabulous very witty astute harsh and insightful characteristics of type characters of the human race have been formative for our understanding of moral virtues and vices and how they come to be expressed in man for our understanding of human nature in general. It is no wonder that the work became so popular and widely read during the Renaissance the era of man as the centre of the universe. "Le texte est le celui de Henri Estienne insére dans l'édition d'Aristote de 1557 mais dans la version il suit pour la plupart ses propres conjectures" Graesse 7: 125.

"This edition which was frequently reprinted 1598-1612-1617-1638 &c. is in every respect worthy of the high reputation of Casaubon. Both the text and the notes have served almost every subsequent editor. The Commentary is a rich mine of Grecian literature. The editor availed himself of the use of four MSS. in the Palatine library". Dibdin.Theophrastus ca. 371- ca. 287 BC Aristotle's successor at the Lyceum and probably the most famous Aristotelian of all times successfully presided over the Peripatetic School for 36 years and here wrote a number of works. The most famous of them is arguably his great moral opus "The Characters" which continues to amaze readers to this day. It introduced the "character sketch" which became the core of the Character as a genre and as such influenced the entire literary tradition of the Western world. The fabulous very witty astute harsh and insightful characteristics of type characters of the human race have been formative for our understanding of moral virtues and vices and for how man expresses them for our understanding of human nature in general. It is no wonder that the work became so popular and widely read during the Renaissance the era of man as the centre of the universe. The French-English classical scholar and philologist Isaac Casaubon 1559 - 1614 was regarded by many of his time as the most learned man in Europe. He is famous for his magnificent commentaries and deep understanding of the texts that he edited translated and commented. His edition of Theophrastus's Characters is considered a work of breakthrough as it constitutes the first example of his peculiar style of illustrative commentary at once apposite and profuse. This work is generally considered to exhibit his most characteristic excellences as a commentator.The present edition came to exercise a profound influence upon the interpretation of Theophrastus' great work. Casaubon's commentary served as the standard commentary for centuries and his translation remains a standard translation of the text. The present work thus remains a primary reference and a primary source when reading the work today.The commentary provided much commentary on Athenian society and the translation popularized the text making it available to modern Renaissance readers. Due to the excellent manner of translation into Latin the first English and French translations of this foundational text were enabled.The work was reprinted numerous times and kept appearing for centuries.
