[Étienne DOLET]. CICERON. Les Questions tusculanes de Marc Tulle Ciceron. Nouvellement traduictes de Latin en Francoys par... In-16, tan basane, spine with 4 ornate nerves ( 18th century binding). Brunet, II-54-799 // Cioranescu, 7936. 144f.-(8f.) / A-T8 / 70 x 113 mm. New edition. The original edition was published by the author in Lyon in 1541. We know how important the works of Cicero were to Étienne Dolet. He revered Cicero, and when the quarrel between the Ciceronians and the anti-Ciceronians broke out, he threw himself into the fray with a vengeance. His quarrel with the reformers was based on a return to the purity of Cicero's language. He translated Cicero's Epistles or familiar letters of the great orator in 1542, as well as the translation of the Questions tusculanes, a philosophical work on death in which the author seeks to establish the immortality of the soul and demonstrate that happiness can only be found in virtue. Our edition escaped Brunet, who cites the same date as that published by Ruelle. Covers missing and hinges worn. Title repaired in upper margin, side margins sometimes a little short with damage to printed marginalia. Provenance: Renouard (handwritten bookplate) and Ernest Stroehlin (bookplate).
