About This Item
EDITIONES PRINCIPES OF EUSEBIUS' EVANGELICAL PREPARATION AND DEMONSTRATION
EDITIO PRINCEPS. Folio, pp. 498, [2]; 138 [i.e. 338], [2]. Greek letter, very sporadic Roman. Estienne's device on both t-ps (serpent wound around the spear/olive tree branch) and in the classic large variant at end of the second work (the tree of knowledge), imprint repeated at colophon (dated 1546). Fine large woodcut initials and headpieces. Early provenance stamp on first t-p: "Biblioteca Se. Me. Novelle". Wide-margined copy, crisp and clean, bound in C19th rustic pasteboard wrappers, spine backed with marbled paper, handwritten title to paper label. Excellent copies.
Evangelical preparation was the first work issued by Estienne as the official Printer in Greek to Francois I and was the first appearance of a full text in the first font of the 'grecs du roi' commissioned by the king through the printer. The font was designed by the Cretan scribe Angelos Vergikios and cut by Claude Garamont."Editiones principes of these two works, which remained the standard text for about a century" (Schreiber). The texts are based on manuscripts in the Royal Library.
These two treatises, almost always found bound together, justify the Christian acceptance of the Hebrew tradition and rejection of the Greek. The Preparation contains quotations from many classical authors now otherwise lost, while the Demonstration is only partly extant, with ten of twenty books only. Together with Eusebius's Ecclesiasticae historiae, printed by Estienne in 1544 also, these works represent the first use of the famous "grecs du roi".
Adams E1087 and E1082; Mortimer, French, 219; Renouard, Estienne, 12; Schreiber 77; USTC 149170 and 160189.
