Modern boards. 13.5 cm Ref: STCN ppn 061216267; Willems 504; Rahir 499; Berghman 1285; Hoffmann 537/38 Details: Elsevier's woodcut printer's mark on the title depicting an old man standing in the shade of a vine-entwined elmtree symbolising the symbiotic relationship between scholar and publisher. The motto is: 'Non solus'. After the index at the end we find: 'Adolphi Vorstii Epistola de obitu V.Cl. Ioannis Meursii ad filium ejus Joannem iuvenem praestantissimum' followed by a short 'epitaphium' for Meursius by his friend A. Buchellius and an elegiac couplet of Nicolaus Heinsius Condition: Title page soiled and a small piece removed from the tip of its right lower corner. Small stamp on the title. 3rd leaf slightly soiled Note: The Greek scholar Theophrastus ca. 370-287 B.C. was a pupil collaborator and successor of Aristotle. He was a scientific researcher rather than a speculative philosophers. Only a small part of Theophrastus' output has been preserved or as Meursius observes at the beginning of this 'liber singularis' of 1640: 'paucis conservatis pleraque interciderunt' 'few works have been saved most have perished'. p. 5 The importance of classification runs through all his extant works including even the brochure known as the Characters' Charaktêres. This collection of 30 descriptive sketches of types of people exhibiting deviations from proper norms of behaviour is nowadays his most famous and most imitated work. § This title of 1640 is the only edition of the last work of the Dutch classicist and historian Johannes Meursius Johannes van Meurs 1579-1639. It consists of 2 parts the first of which p. 1/82 is on the lost works of Theophrastus. Meursius list here 234 works with sources and testimonia. The second part p. 83/111 contains notes and emendations by Meursius on a number of Theophrastus' extant works 'Ioannis Meursii Lectiones Theophrasteae in quibus eorum librorum qui supersunt loca aliquot emendantur'. § Meursius was professor of History and Greek in the university of Leiden from 1610 till 1620. He studied under the genius J.J. Scaliger and is best known for the 'editiones principes' of a number of Byzantine authors that he produced. Meursius' indefatigable labours concerned also the history of ancient Greece and especially Eleusis and the antiquities of Athens and Attica. Meursius laid with his works the foundations of much later learning Provenance: The stamp on the title is a crown with 7 pearls of a Dutch/German/Austrian baron Beneath the crown 2 intertwined initials 'C.C'. or 'C.D' Collation: A-E12 F6 leaf F5 verso and F6 blank Photographs on request hardcover

Collection of Francis Howard Forbes 1881-1957 professor of Greek language and literature at Amherst College his round pictorial bookplate of Attic-style scribes on front pastedown. This particular copy was cared for by Oxford institutions for a good part of its history then crossed into a New England personal library of a classical scholar sometime in the early 20th century. <br/><br/>This is the self-contained volume from the 1584-1587 collected edition of the works of Aristotle in Greek and the Metaphysica of Theophrastus. Friedrich Sylburg 1536-1596 was a German classical scholar who made important contributions to several popular Greek texts of the later sixteenth century like Estiennes Greek Thesaurus. In 1583 Sylburg resigned from an educational post he held at Lich and moved to Frankfurt to work as leading active editor for the enterprising Wechel publishers. The humanist printers flourished in three distinct cities; Paris Frankfurt and Hanau. Andreas Wechel settled the firm in Frankfurt and distinguished it mainly by publishing neo-Latin literature classical philology and works by Ramus and his followers. The relationship between Sylburg and the Wechel printers was a seamless match; this 1585 edition of Aristotle was praised for its great critical power and finesse. It is widely regarded as the authoritative edition of its kind. Sound example of a sixteenth century published work on Aristotelian principles born from the inventive relationship between scholar and press.Fabricius-Harles III 444; Hoffmann I 275 and 289.
