ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΟΥΣ: ΠΕΡΙ ΤΕΧΝΗΣ ΡΗΤΟΡΙΚΗΣ, του ιδίου: ΠΕΡΙ ΠΟΙΗΤΙΚΗΣ, ARISTOTELIS: RHETORICORUM LIBRI TRES DE POETICA. PARIS, 1625 Fine early 17th century edition. In 8vo, contemporary full leather with some wear, spine gilt, complete, text in the original Greek with parallel Latin translation, text clean and bright, overall a very good copy. A significant publication that reflects the early 17th-century French commitment to classical Greek philology and educational rigor. Cramoisy was the official printer to the King and a dominant force in Paris publishing during the reign of Louis XIII.This edition typically utilizes the Latin translation of Theodore Goulston which had first appeared in London in 1619. Cramoisy’s edition adapted this scholarly apparatus for the French market. It is known for its extensive Analysis or summary of each chapter, which made it a preferred textbook for the Jesuit colleges and the University of Paris. Τhis period saw a move toward better indexing and marginal notes to help the reader navigate complex Greek syntax. As a Cramoisy publication, it features high-quality paper and the clear, balanced Greek and Roman types that defined the Grand Siècle of French printing. By 1625, the center of Greek printing had largely shifted from the Estienne family, who had moved to Geneva, back to Paris under royal patrons like Cramoisy. This edition served as a bridge, maintaining the rigorous textual standards of the late Renaissance while adopting the cleaner, more modern book design of the early Baroque.
