An impressive book. “The ‘Natural History’ of Pliny the Elder is more than a natural history: it is an encyclopaedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world… It comprises 37 books with mathematics and physics geography and astronomy medicine and zoology anthropology and physiology philosophy and history agriculture and mineralogy the arts and letters… The ‘Historia’ soon became a standard book of reference; abstracts and abridgements appeared by the third century. Bede owned a copy Alcuin sent the early books to Charlemagne and Dicuil the Irish geographer quotes him in the ninth century. It was the basis of Isidore's Etymologiae and such medieval encyclopedias as the Speculum Majus of Vincent of Beauvais and the Catholicon of Balbus. One of the earliest books to be printed at Venice the centre from which so much of classical literature was first dispensed it was later translated into English by Philemon Holland in 1601 and twice reprinted a notable achievement for so vast a text… Over and over again it will be found that the source of some ancient piece of knowledge is Pliny.†PMM 5 “Holland's first book the first complete rendering of Livy into English was published in 1600 when he was nearly fifty. It was a work of great importance presented in a grand folio volume of 1458 pages and dedicated to the queen. … “The Livy was followed in the next year by an equally huge translation of the elder Pliny: The Historie of the World Commonly called the Naturall Historie. This encyclopaedia of ancient knowledge about the natural world had already had a great indirect influence in England as elsewhere in Europe but had not been translated into English before and would not be again for 250 years.â€ODNB Pforzheimer 496; STC 2nd ed. 20029 Impensis G.

A woodcut portrait of Queen Elizabeth is printed on the verso of the title page; a second portrait of Livy is printed on A4 verso. This is the first complete rendering into English of the most important Roman historian. The scholar-surgeon Philemon Holland is one of the great literary figures of the twilight years of the Elizabethan age. Like his contemporary John Florio who translated Montaigne’s “Essays†into English in 1599 Holland not only made the works that he translated accessible to English readers but also put his own stamp on those works creating something at once faithful and new. The translations provided a wealth of material for English writers; it is possible that Shakespeare himself read Holland’s “Livy†See Muir The sources of Shakespeare’s plays 1977 p. 238 “Holland's first book the first complete rendering of Livy into English was published in 1600 when he was nearly fifty. It was a work of great importance presented in a grand folio volume of 1458 pages and dedicated to the queen. The translation set out to be lucid and unpretentious and achieved its aim with marked success. It is accurate and often lively and although it does not attempt to imitate the terseness of Latin it avoids prolixity. As part of his book Holland translated two other substantial works—an ancient epitome of Roman history that provides an outline of the lost books of Livy and Bartolomeo Marliani's guide to the topography of Rome—as well as some smaller texts. These were taken from the edition of Livy published in Paris in 1573; by translating them Holland was making available in English a great learned compendium of historical knowledge not simply a single ancient author.â€ODNB Livy’s “History†"Livy's narrative began with the mythic origins of Rome that is with Aeneas' flight from Troy and came down to the death of Drusus Augustus' stepson in Germany in 9 BC. It is possible that Livy's plan interrupted by his death was to reach the death of Augustus in AD 14. "Several times both in the preface and elsewhere Livy refers to the fact that for him the narrating of Rome's glorious past is a refuge from the distress he feels when he comes to narrating more recent and contemporary events the civil war between Caesar and Pompey the subsequent war waged by Octavian soon to be the first Roman emperor Augustus against Marc Antony and Cleopatra. Although he recognizes that the crisis is epochal rather than episodic Livy refuses to focus on that alone; rather he strives to view it within the general context of Roman history. "When Livy turns his gaze to the more than seven centuries that have brought Rome a small city of Latium to mastery of the world he shows reverence almost dismay before such vast time and vast achievements. In evoking that immense journey he feels the pressure of history the weight of the influence that the images of the past exercise upon the consciousness of the present time. These images act as models of social and individual behavior positive and negative; they are invitations to virtue and warnings against wickedness. The mythology of the past in short not only has meaning for contemporary men but also gives meaning to their actions in that it can illustrate through examples their own ideological needs.â€Conte STC 16613; Pforzheimer 495; Luborsky & Ingram English illustrated books 1536-1603 16613 Adam Islip, unknown books
