179732384AB1797. Edition Decima Bilingual in Greek and Latin. London Impensis W.&W.Ginger ad insignia Collegii Westmonasteriensis juxta Scholam Regiam 1797. Octavo. Frontispiece-Map 2 548 pages. Hardcover / Original full leather with gilt lettering on spine and boards. In protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. From the library of Daniel Conner Connerville / Manch House with his Exlibris / Bookplate to pastedown. Xenophon of Athens c. 430 355/354 BC was a Greek military leader philosopher and historian. At the age of 30 he was elected as one of the leaders of the retreating Greek mercenaries the Ten Thousand who had been part of Cyrus the Younger's attempt to seize control of the Achaemenid Empire. As the military historian Theodore Ayrault Dodge wrote "the centuries since have devised nothing to surpass the genius of this warrior". For at least two millennia it has been debated whether Xenophon was first and foremost a general historian or philosopher. For the majority of time in the past two millennia Xenophon was recognised as a philosopher. Quintilian in The Orator's Education discusses the most prominent historians orators and philosophers as examples of eloquence and recognises Xenophon's historical work but ultimately places Xenophon next to Plato as a philosopher. Today Xenophon is recognised as one of the greatest writers of antiquity. Xenophon's works span multiple genres and are written in plain Attic Greek which is why they have often been used in translation exercises for contemporary students of the Ancient Greek language. In the Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers Diogenes Laërtius observed that Xenophon was known as the "Attic Muse" because of the sweetness of his diction. Despite being born an Athenian citizen Xenophon came to be associated with Sparta the traditional opponent of Athens. Much of what is known today about the Spartan society comes from Xenophon's royal biography of the Spartan king Agesilaus and the Constitution of the Lacedaemonians. The sub-satrap Mania is primarily known through Xenophon's writings. Xenophon's Anabasis recounts his adventures with the Ten Thousand while in the service of Cyrus the Younger Cyrus's failed campaign to claim the Persian throne from Artaxerxes II of Persia and the return of Greek mercenaries after Cyrus's death in the Battle of Cunaxa. Xenophon wrote Cyropaedia outlining both military and political methods used by Cyrus the Great to conquer the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 539 BC. Anabasis and Cyropaedia inspired Alexander the Great and other Greeks to conquer Babylon and the Achaemenid Empire in 331 BC. The Hellenica continues directly from the final sentence of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War covering the last seven years of the Peloponnesian War 431404 BC and the subsequent forty-two years 404362 BC ending with the Second Battle of Mantinea. Xenophon's writings on military strategies remain influential and are believed to be among the first to utilise and describe flanking manoeuvres and feints in military tactics. Wikipedia hardcover

171166266à Amsterdam: Chez Henri Schelte 1711. Fine. Copy bearing the arms of Queen Elisabeth Farnese of Spain Princess of Parma. Chez Henri Schelte à Amsterdam 1711 9.50 x 15 cm In-12 relié First bilingual edition with French facing Greek translated by Pierre Coste with his footnotes. Title page printed in red and black. Extended preface by Pierre Coste. Copy bearing the arms of Queen Elisabeth Farnese of Spain Princess of Parma queen from 1714 to 1746. A woman of power whose policies profoundly influenced Spain. Double coat of arms surmounted by a closed royal crown encircled by the collars of the Orders of the Holy Spirit and the Golden Fleece. Dexter: Spain; sinister: Farnese ""or with six fleurs-de-lys azure 321"". An intriguing feature of the queens arms: the collars of the Orders of the Holy Spirit and of the Golden Fleece although these orders were never bestowed upon women. Contemporary full speckled blond calf binding. Spine with raised bands richly gilt. Crimson morocco title-piece. Arms gilt-stamped at the centre of the covers. Triple fillet border on the covers. All edges gilt. Slight wear to headcaps. Upper joint largely split. Lower joint split at head. Hieron is a dialogue by Xenophon between a philosopher Simonides and a king Hieron; through Simonides questions emerges a vision of kingship. As the edition dates from 1711 and Elisabeth Farnese only acceded to royal dignity in 1714 the association of this text with the rare arms of the young and newly crowned queen takes on a distinctly symbolic dimension: a reflection on power and on the way of preparing for it through the reading of the Ancients.
