Buckram. Condición: Very Good. Second edition. Folio (32 cm); [16], 183, [1], [28], [6], 174, [18] pages, and full-page engraved frontispiece by Michael Burghers of a laurel-crowned Cassandra, standing before the walls of Troy in flames.

Collation includes title page in Greek (with engraved vignette of the Sheldonian Theatre) and a second title page in Latin (with vignette of Oxford University's crest). Advertisement leaf at end. Bound in modern library buckram. Pages somewhat toned at edges, but text block is sturdy and without significant blemish. References: ESTC T107442; The Greek poets of the Hellenistic period (following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and lasting three hundred years until the establishment of the Roman Empire) have a reputation for indulging in an ornate and sometimes opaque style that we would later associate with Mannerist poets like Gongora or Marino. Lycophron's Alexandra (or Cassandra) may be the epitome of that style. Even Alexandrian scholars of the time referred to it as "the obscure poem." Wikipedia quotes a modern critic who says the Alexandra "may be the most illegible piece of classical literature, one which nobody can read without a proper commentary and which even then makes very difficult reading." That must be why in the opening line the poet says, "I will spell out everything clearly, whatever you ask, from the very beginning." The Wiki article continues, "The poem is evidently intended to display the writer's knowledge of obscure names and uncommon myths; it is full of unusual words of doubtful meaning gathered from the older poets, and long-winded compounds coined by the author. . It was very popular, and was read and commented on very frequently. Two explanatory paraphrases of the poem survive, and the collection of scholia by Isaac and John Tzetzes is very valuable." The Oxford edition by John Potter (later Archbishop of Canterbury) offered here includes the Tzetzes scholia, as well as an exuberant Latin version of the poem by Joseph Scaliger (first published in 1566, when Scaliger was 25 years old) and notes by Scaliger's friend Willem Canter. Potter first published the text in 1697, but only this second edition bears his dedicatory epistle to the German classical scholar (who taught at Utrecht) Johann Georg Graevius.…

Couverture rigide. Condición: Très bon. Reliure demi-cuir moderne fauve (reliure du XXe siècle), dos à nerfs estampé à froid, toutes tranches dorées, gardes renouvelées. Quelques petites mouillures et rousseurs éparses, Très bon état général. Nouvelle édition du XVIe siècle des discours rhétoriques en trois parties d'Aelius Aristide (117-ca.185), rhéteur et sophiste grec ayant vécu à l'époque antonine. Cette traduction latine est réalisée par Willem Canter (1542-1575), critique néerlandais, qui souhaite faire redécouvrir les textes classiques, mais surtout les restaurer des règles de grammaire spécifiques. Il s'attelle ici aux Discours rhétoriques d'Aristide, qui fut formé à Cotiaeum, chez le grammairien Alexandre, puis à Athènes, auprès des meilleurs maîtres. Aristide tomba très malade au cours d'un voyage en Égypte, et forgea alors un lien particulier avec Asclépios, Dieu de la médecine. Ce dernier lui aurait permis de conserver et maintenir un minimum de force vitale, qu'il put par la suite utiliser pour l'écriture et l'oraison. Rare exemplaire. ENGLISH : Modern half-leather binding in light brown (20th-century binding), spine with raised bands blind-stamped, all edges gilt, renewed endpapers. Some minor dampstains and occasional scattered foxing. Very good overall condition. New 16th-century edition of the rhetorical orations in three parts by Aelius Aristides (117c.185), a Greek rhetorician and sophist active during the Antonine period. This Latin translation was completed by Willem Canter (15421575), a Dutch classical scholar and philologist, whose aim was not only to make classical texts accessible but also to restore them in accordance with proper grammatical norms. Here, he tackles the Orationes Rhetoricae of Aristides, who had studied in Cotiaeum under the grammarian Alexander, and later in Athens under the most prominent masters. Aristides fell gravely ill during a journey to Egypt and developed a deep connection to Asclepius, the god of medicine. According to his own account, it was thanks to Asclepius that he maintained a minimal vital force, which he was then able to channel into writing and oratory. A rare and desirable copy.…
