1860BB2705Basel: Druck und Verlag der Schweighauser'schen Verlagsbuchhandlung 1860. Decorative Cloth. Fine. First Edition of this classics of Renaissance historiography from the library of Otto Wesendonck patron of the composer Richard Wagner.

Spine lightened a degree or two very occasional foxing otherwise an exemplary example tightly bound pages remarkably fresh and bright virtually pristine. PMM 347. This milestone of cultural history written by Burckhardt between 1855 and 1858 cast a "powerful spell . . . upon such widely different writers as Ruskin Nietzsche and Gobineau as well as upon innumerable lovers of the most magnificent period of European history." Lord Acton called it "The most penetrating and subtle treatise on the history of civilization." PMM Divided into six parts: the State as a Work of Art Development of the Individual Revival of Antiquity Discovery of the World and of Man Society and Festivals and Morality and Religion. A two-volume English translation appeared in 1878. Otto Wesendonck's 1815-1896 success as a silk merchant made him a generous patron of the arts and enabled him to provide significant financial support to one of his favorite composers Richard Wagner throughout the 1850s. For a time the Wagner's lived in a villa on Wesendonck's estate in Zurich and Otto would eventually purchase the copyright of the four Ring operas. Wagner became infatuated with Wesendonck's wife the poet Agnes Mathilde Luckemeyer 1828-1902. She exerted considerable influence over his music and provided the words to the Wesendonck Lieder song cycle. Their passionate relationship whether platonic or otherwise came to an end in 1858 when Minna Wagner accused them of adultery. N. B.
