Willems 1127; Fabricius/Ernesti 3,10: 'emendatissima editio'; Schweiger 2,379; Graesse 3,46; Dibdin 1,340/41; Moss 1,204; Brunet 2,1524; Ebert 8287) (Details: 5 thongs laced through the joints. Engraved title, depicting a learned writer at work, one of the Muses stands behind him and points at a crowd outside (the author's house?), possibly a crowd of all the great men he had known) (Condition: Vellum age-toned. Small wormhole in the lower margin of the first 4 leaves; small stamp on recto of leaf *3. Small wormhole in the front and rear endpapers) (Note: The Latin author Aulus Gellius, ca. 125-180 AD, was never counted as a major author in antiquity, nor later. His only work Noctes Atticae or Attic Nights, is a miscellany that 'ranges from literature to law, from wondrous tales to moral philosophy; one of his favorite topics is the Latin language'. (...) The exposition, in a mildly archaizing but never difficult Latin, often takes the form of dialogues with or between culturally eminent persons whom Gellius had known'. It derives its name from the fact of its having been written during the long nights of a winter which the author spent in Attica as a young itinerant student. The Noctes Atticae were exploited by pagans and Christians alike in late antiquity. In medieval florilegia he is much quoted for piquant tales and moral sentiments. 'From Petrarch onward Gellius became a favorite author of the Renaissance'. 'More than 100 manuscripts were copied'. He was used as a valuable source of information on the Latin language, and had preserved numerous quotations from lost authors, which were presented with grace and elegance. Gellius became a model for the Miscellanea of the Italian humanist Angelo Poliziano. 'In the 18th century, however, new canons of elegance caused his style to seem less attractive, and compilation sank to minor merit' (Quotations from 'The Classical Tradition', Cambr. Mass., 2010, p. 386/7) § The 20 books of the Noctes Atticae were ably edited by the Dutch classicist of German origin Johann Friedrich Gronov, or Gronovius, 1611-1671, He was the successor of Heinsius at the University of Leiden, and he was influenced by Vossius, Grotius, Heinsius & Scriverius. His editions mark an epoch in the study of Livy, of Seneca, Tacitus & Gellius. (Sandys, History of Classical Scholarship, 2,321) At the end an Interpretatio Graecarum dictionum of 32 p., which consists of a list of the Greek words and phrases in the text followed by a translation into Latin. At the very end 4 pages with conjectures of several scholars) (Provenance: On the front flyleaf the name of 'Dr. Thormeyer'. This might be the German philologist Christian Friedrich Thormeyer, who was in 1830 Direktor of the Gymnasium of Neu-Ruppin. In 1793 he published Commentar philologisch-exegetisch-kritisch-historischen Inhalts über Cicero's Buch vom allgemeinen und besondern menschlich Anständigen und Pflichtmässigen. § On page *3 recto a small oval stamp: Ex bibliotheca J. Dorneri) (Collation: *-2*12; A-2C12 (minus the blank leaves 2C11 & 2C12)) (Photographs on request) |
