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.

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.

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.

Very rare first edition of this translation of reference by Mr. Dacier 430 BC/-401 BC. Athens Xenophon was a philosopher and a military leader of ancient Greece born in Erchia near Athens around 430 BC and died around 355 BC In addition to the Anabasis he wrote a sequel to the history of the war of the Peloponnesus of Thucydides called Les Helléniques. His historical work is impartial according to Lucien of Samosata one of the authors that Xenophon has inspired native of the deme of Erchia in Attica Xenophon is son of Gryllos. His date of birth is discussed: the approximate date of 430 BC is based on the indication that he was a young man at the beginning of the Anabasis. Some authors propose more specific dates. E. Delebecque offers the date of 426 BC corresponding to the minimum age to participate in the Athenian expedition in Lesvos in 428 BC/427 BC according to historian Claude Mossé. Born into a wealthy aristocratic family he attended the Sophists including Prodicus in Thebes; Disciple of Socrates he portrays his master as a man more interested in morality and logic than by metaphysics as this appears in the apology of Socrates the memorable and the Banquet he became a pupil of Socrates. Penetrated with oligarchic ideas he is hostile to the restoration of democracy after the tyranny of Trente; in the midst of the Socratic he doesn't get along with Aristippus or Plato who he accused to add their ideas to those of Socrates. According to Photios Xenophon was a student of Isocrates. Only one appearance at auction since publication. Intricate head pieces. . Chez Les Frères Debure & Moutard Imprimeur-Libraire hardcover
