Lancelot was born in Paris. He participated in the creation of the Petites écoles de Port-Royal in May 1638 then under the spiritual guidance of Jean Duvergier de Hauranne the abbot of Saint-Cyran. Lancelot was in charge of the education of the duke of Chevreuse and of the princes of Conti. From 1638 until 1660 Lancelot continued to be associated with the religious community around the Abbey of Port-Royal-des-Champs. Lancelot authored Nouvelle méthode pour apprendre la langue latine or New Method of Learning Latin 1644; Nouvelle méthode pour apprendre la langue grecque or New Method of Learning Greek 1655; Jardin des racines grecques or Garden of Greek Roots 1657 first published under the name Racines Grecques de Port-Royal; and with Antoine Arnauld Grammaire générale et raisonnée or General and Rational Grammar 1660 otherwise known as the Port-Royal Grammar. In early 1660 Lancelot was forced to leave the Abbey and was ultimately exiled to Brittany. Lancelot died near the Holy-Cross Abbey in Quimperlé in 1695. Wikipedia ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Thomas Nugent c. 1700 27 April 1772 in Gray's Inn London was an erudite Irish historian and travel writer. Today he is best known for his travelogue of the Grand Tour which was at that time popular particularly among English noblemen taking educational tours through Europe. His detailed descriptions of the France Italy Germany and the Netherlands of the time provide a rich source for historians of the situation in the second half of the 18th century. Little is known regarding his early years. He admittedly came from Ireland though he spent most of his life in London. There he occupied himself as an author and translator. In the year 1749 he published the multi-volume work "The Grand Tour containing an exact description of most of the cities towns and remarkable places of Europe". This was the first detailed guidebook for English gentlemen wanting to go on the Grand Tour of Europe. Whether Nugent had actually undertaken this tour himself in unknown although it is assumed on the basis of the detailed information and evident knowledge of the places depicted therein. Nugent devoted himself in the following years to translating works by prominent jurists philosophers and political thinkers of his time mostly from French into English. This included a 1750 translation of Montesquieus De lesprit des lois into English as The Spirit of Laws a 1751 translation of Jean-Jacques Burlamaquis Principes du droit politique as Principles of Politic Law 1752 and in 1756 a translation of Étienne Bonnot de Condillacs Essai sur lorigine des connaissances humaines as Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge. Also in 1756 a newly updated version of his travelogue was published with the title "The Grand Tour or A journey through the Netherlands Germany Italy and France". In the year 1759 he published a translation of the French historian Philippe Macquer 1720-1770 of Roman History "Chronological Abridgement of the Roman History". He then devoted himself to the French history of Charles-Jean-Francois Henault "Chronological Abridgment of the History of France" 1762. Nugent received a doctorate of law from the Scottish University of Aberdeen in 1765. After this he planned to write a history of the Vandals thus studying the source material on his trip to Germany. He traveled through northern Germany from Hamburg through Lübeck to Mecklenburg where he suspected to be the original homeland or the early settlement of the Vandals. On his return to England he not only published his history of the Vandals "The History of Vandalia Containing the ancient and present state of the country of Mecklenburg" in 1766 but also in 1768 was published his German travel experiences in the form of several letters to a fictitious friend at home. This work original title: Travels through Germany: containing observations on customs manners religion government commerce arts and antiquities: with a particular account of the Courts of Mecklenburg in a series of letters to a friend was written amongst others at Hamburg Lübeck and several cities and villages in the then Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz including Schwerin Rostock Wismar Ludwigslust Doberan Güstrow Bützow Waren Neustrelitz Mirow and Neubrandenburg. In 1771 he wrote a book about the Florentine Renaissance sculptor Benvenuto Cellini. Inspired by the success of his travelogue he now translated a guidebook of London which was the first work aimed at foreign readers visiting England. This book original title: "A tour to London or New observations on England and its inhabitants" appeared in 1772 the same year that Nugent died in London. Following his death his guidebooks enjoyed yet even greater popularity. A third edition of his "Grand Tour" appeared in 1778. His two-volume travelogue about northern Germany Travels through Germany which appeared in 1768 gave great interest there. The Mecklenburg-based Professor Lorenz Karsten translated the work into German and published it in 1781 by Friedrich Nicolai. This book in which among other things the Lübeck Dance of Death Totentanz is described made Nugent famous in Germany and was largely abridged in 1938 as well as appearing in new annotated editions in 1998 and 2000. Goethe's translation of the life of Benvenuto Cellini from the year 1803 was partly based on the Italian original and partly based on the English version by Thomas Nugent. Wikipedia hardcover

THE OEDIPUS TYRANNUS: A RECORD BY L. SPEED AND F. R. PRYOR OF THE PERFORMANCE IN NOVEMBER 1887

188835946Cambridge: MacMillan & Bowes. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1888. First Edition. Hardcover. Mono-color engravings; 63 pages; The Oedipus Tyrannus: A Record by L. Speed and F. R. Pryor of the Performance in November 1887Author: Francis R. Pryor Lancelot Speed Sophocles - Sophocles is one of three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays have survived. His first plays were written later than those of Aeschylus and earlier than or contemporary with those of Euripides. According to the Suda a 10th-century encyclopedia Sophocles wrote 123 plays during the course of his life but only seven have survived in a complete form: Ajax Antigone The Women of Trachis Oedipus the King Electra Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus. For almost 50 years Sophocles was the most-feted playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens that took place during the religious festivals of the Lenaea and the Dionysia. He competed in around 30 competitions won perhaps 24 and was never judged lower than second place. Aeschylus won 14 competitions and was sometimes defeated by Sophocles while Euripides won only 4 competitions. The most famous tragedies of Sophocles feature Oedipus and also Antigone: they are generally known as the Theban plays although each play was actually a part of a different tetralogy the other members of which are now lost. Sophocles influenced the development of the drama most importantly by adding a third actor thereby reducing the importance of the chorus in the presentation of the plot. He also developed his characters to a greater extent than earlier playwrights such as Aeschylus. Width: 11.5" Height: 15". Book Details: "It had long been my wish to produce some permanent record of a Cambridge Greek Play but I could not decide in what form it should appear until my friend Mr. Speed offered to come to my aid and prepare drawings. After much thought we agreed that the book should take its present shape and give to the world what we may claim to be the first illustrated edition of any Greek play." First lines of Francis R. Pryor's preface Condition / Notes: bound in black cloth with stamped gilt lettering to the spine. The book shows external wear with tears and loss of material at the top/bottom of spine. The covers display soiling particularly noticeable at the top edge of the front cover. Loss of material is also visible at the outside corners of the boards. The binding is sound. The top edge of the frontispiece displays staining with annotations to the verso. The name J. Conrad Hutchinson appears in red ink at the top of the first page of the preface. The pages are otherwise clean with occasional mild rippling. This work is illustrated with a frontispiece engraving and vignettes to the title page and the text. The text is in Greek; the description of the performance is in English. Title page dated 1883 and 1885 but introduction dated 1888. Many somewhat bizarre engravings. . MacMillan & Bowes hardcover
