Description

NEPOS (Cornelius). Liber Æmylii Probi historiographi veteris et praeclari, de uitis excellentium Graeciae Principum [et] Ducum, ad T. Pomponium Atticum, Ciceronis familiarem. Viciosissimum exemplar ex manuscripto codice quam emendatissimum redditum est per D. Gybertum Longolium... Cologne: Johann Gymnich, 1543. [Followed by]: Coriolani Cepionis Dalmatae De Petri Mocenici Imperatoris Gestis : Libri tres. Item Conradi Wengeri Brixiensis De Bello inter Sigismundum Archistrategum Austriæ & Venetos Libellus. Praeterea Michaelis Coccinij Tubingensis De Bellis Italicis Liber unus. Basel: Robert Winter, 1544. - 2 works in a small in-8 volume, 145 x 100: (128 ff.); (10 ff. 7th and 8th blank), 242 pp. (5 ff. 3rd and 4th blank). Soft parchment with flaps, blackened with lampblack, smooth spine (period binding). An unusual new edition of this collection of the lives of Greek princes and chieftains, said to be an abridgement by the historian Æmilius Probus of the original work by the Latin writer Cornelius Nepos (0100?-0025? BC). This is the first edition published by the Dutch-born Rhenish humanist Gilbert de Longueil (1507-1543). It contains 24 biographies: Agesilaus, Alcibiades, Aristides, Atticus, Cato, Chabrias, Cimon, Conon, Datamus, Dion, Epaminondas, Eumenes, Hamilcar, Hannibal, Iphicrates, Lysander, Miltiades, Pausanias, Pelopidas, Phocion, Themistocles, Thrasybulus, Timoleon and Timothy. Following this is a collection of three Latin texts, the first by Italian memoirist Coriolano Cippico (1425?-1493?), entitled De Petri Mocenici Imperatoris Gestis Libri tres, the second by Konrad Wenger (1425-1501) (De Bello inter Sigismundum Archistrategum Austriæ & Venetos Libellus) and the last by Michael Köchlin (1478-...) (de Bellis italicis liber unus). The edition opens with a dedication from publisher Johannes Basilius Herold (1514-1567) to Carl Wolfgang Rholinger. Presumed to have belonged to Jacque d'Albon, marshal of Saint-André (1510?-1562). The signature "Jd. St. André", but this is by no means the autograph signature of this important figure. It may, however, be that of a secretary, so it is not possible for us to confirm this provenance with any certainty at present. Binding missing. Some rare light dampening.
