Printer's device on title page. Renouard 116:3; Schreiber 142; Dibdin II 500; Hoffmann I 287-88; Hoffmann III 524; USTC 450450. ◆Joints and extremities lightly rubbed minor offsetting from turn-ins to endpapers and flyleaves leaves with a touch of browning to head edge isolated small marginal spots or minor smudges but still an extremely pleasing copy clean and fresh internally in a well-preserved binding.<br/> <br/> Rarely seen in the marketplace this collection of Greek texts printed in the exquisite Estienne "grecs du roi" type includes four parts: the 23 "Characters" of Theophrastus along with that author's essay on the senses and perception; the pseudo-Aristotle "De Mirabilibus Auscultationibus" "On Marvellous Things Heard"; and an essay on springs rivers and pools by the first century A.D. Greek philosopher Sotion. In "Characters" Theophrastus ca. 371 - ca. 287 B.C. delineates such human foibles as gossiping grumbling and boasting while the text once attributed to Aristotle is a series of anecdotes about inexplicable phenomena in the natural world a genre of classical literature known as paradoxography. The classical texts are followed by the critical notes of Henri Estienne 1528 or 1531-91 who rivaled Aldus Manutius in combining publishing with scholarship. In discussing this work Dibdin says "whatever H. Stephen did is worth consulting." Henri also contributed to the typography used here the smallest size of the "grecs du roi" cut for his father Robert by Claude Garamond--it is based on the Greek script written by the precocious Henri when he was 10 years old.

Light shelfwear to book. DJ has a bit of soiling to front panel and some chipping to edges. DJ spine a bit sunned. ; Theophrastus' The Characters consists of brief, vigorous and trenchant delineations of moral types, which contain a most valuable picture of the life of his time. They form the first recorded attempt at systematic character writing. The book has been regarded by some as an independent work; others incline to the view that the sketches were written from time to time by Theophrastus, and collected and edited after his death; others, again, regard the Characters as part of a larger systematic work, but the style of the book is against this. Theophrastus has found many imitators in this kind of writing, notably Hall (1608) , Sir Thomas Overbury (1614–16) , Bishop Earle (1628) and Jean de La Bruyère (1688) , who also translated the Characters. ; 153 pages
