THUCIDES. The eight books of Thucydides. Venice, Vaugris, 1545 8vo; 142x100 mm; Full vellum binding with embossing to plates; cc. [12], 440; Engraved editorial mark to title page and colophon, woodcut initials. Fine copy. Very rare edition from the same year as the first vernacular translation of the books of Thucydides. The work is divided into several parts: an introductory book, a section on the Ten Years' War (focusing on the conflict between Athens and Corinth), the peace that followed this war (the Peace of Nicias), the Sicilian War, the Plague that struck Athens, and the last book (Book 8) focuses in part on the Decelian War. Thucydides intended to describe events that directly followed those recorded by Herodotus. He began writing the books soon after the Peloponnesian War began and recorded many of the events immediately after they happened.
