LAGUS, Konrad. Oratio de Platone. by [MELANCHTHON, Philipp.] - 1538

LAGUS, Konrad. Oratio de Platone.

by [MELANCHTHON, Philipp.]

  • Used
Only edition, exceedingly rare (one copy only in the US), of the main extant source for Melanchthon's views on Plato. 'Melanchthon's view of Plato is known primarily from a Latin speech, which he asked Conrad Lagus to deliver' (Hartfelder).

The oration was composed by Melanchthon and delivered by the Dean Conrad Lagus as the inauguration address to the University of Wittenberg students on the conferment of their master's degrees. Although the speech was published without Melanchthon's name, his authorship has been universally acknowledged.

Plato's life and work are here hailed as a mirror of the perfect philosopher, marked by true love of knowledge, rectitude of conduct, unsurpassed eloquence and richness of style. It is in fact to Plato's 'vague' definition of God as 'mens aeterna, causa boni in natura' that Melanchthon turns in successive works (with qualified approbation in view of Plato's obvious distance from Christianity), in his criticism of the Scholastics' insistence on a philosophical, 'distinct' knowledge of God, and in his rejection of moralism and speculation.

Keen, p. 164, 74; VD 16 M 3805; one copy only in the US (Harvard).

Bound with the Melanchthon:

OMPHALIUS, Jakob. Nomologia, qua eloquendi ac disserendi ratio ad usum forensem civiliumque causarum procurationem, pergrata studiorum omnium utilitate accomodatur, aucta et recognita. Cologne, E. Cervicornus for G. Hittorp, August 1538.

8vo, pp. [xvi], 302, [2, blank]; some Greek type; with a diagram outlining Cicero's ideal orator's qualities, printer's device, historiated initials.

Rare second revised and greatly enlarged edition (the first, printed by Simon de Colines, amounted to only 128 pages) of a manual of eloquence and style for the legal professions. The theory of rhetoric and exposition, based primarily on Cicero and Quintilian and furnished with graphic aids, is exemplified in the appendix by a dialogue between Hymenaeus (the god of marriage) and Lachesis (one of the Fates) on glory and eternal memory as the only worthwhile pursuits during earthly life.

Green and Murphy, Renaissance rhetoric short title catalogue, 1460–1700 (2006), p. 326; VD 16 O 758.

ERASMUS, Desiderius. De duplici copia verborum ac rerum commentarii duo multa accessione, novisque formulis locupletati. Una cum commentariis M. Veltkirchii. Cologne, J. Gymnicus, 1536.

8vo, pp. [xvi], 398, [2, blank]; with woodcut initials.

First published in Paris by Badius Ascensius in 1512, Erasmus's 'Twofold supply of words and subjects' underwent modifications and additions in the following two decades and enjoyed vast popularity (at least 80 printings during Erasmus's lifetime, with our edition possibly being the last printed before his death). Veltkirchius's comments were first added in 1534 in an edition arranged by Melanchthon, who here also provides an introduction with a praise of the commentary. Erasmus's own preface to the first edition, dated 1512, is also reprinted.

Description:
First edition, very scarce in commerce, of an exhilaratingly spiteful attack on Pope in the wake of the publication of the Dunciad variorum, comprising seven different satirical texts, three in verse, issued in quarto to match 'the least pompous Edition of the Dunciad'.
Its authorship remains uncertain. Pope wrote to Lord Oxford on 16 May 1726: 'I see a Book with a Curious Cutt calld Pope Alexrs Supremacy &c. 4o. In it are 3 or 4 things so false & scandalous that I think I know the Authors, and they are of a Rank to merit Detection … The book is writ by Burnet, & a Person who has great obligations to me, & the Cut is done by Ducket'. He later ascribed it to Duckett and John Dennis.
Among the various charges laid at Pope's feet are his deformity ('Be his Crown Picked, to One Side reclin'd / Be to his Neck his Buttocks closely join'd')' his ingratitude to Wycherley; that he is a spy for the Tories ('he listed openly in the Tory Service'); and that he avoided facing his critics after the… Read More

Description:
An attractive illustrated edition of twenty-seven of Plutarch's lives, extensively annotated by a Papal tax-collector, in a striking contemporary binding.
The contemporary binding, titled in gilt on the upper board and decorated both in blind and gilt, employs a striking central tool of a vase of flames. Hobson identifies this emblem in renaissance tooling as a symbol of love, whether carnal or spiritual, or of devotion to a patron. Though a frequently used motif, we have not been able to locate any other use of the same tool, other instances showing small handles on the 'hips' of the vase rather than the more elaborate handles found here. The floral roll and the unusual repeated strapwork tool used for the borders are likewise unidentified. For two uses of the same (or very similar) fleur-de-lys and ray, however, see De Marinis 470 and 1207 ter.

Description:
Scarce first edition thus of this collection of letters by the Irish writer Hugh Boyd (1746-1794), compiled by Andrew Burchet Bone, and with a life of Boyd by Lawrence Dundas Campbell.Originally published in the Hircarrah in 1793 and 1794, the letters here discuss, inter alia, philosophy (especially Rousseau), the French, poetry and painting, conversation, dress, the theatre, ancient Greece and Rome, music, marriage, human nature, Sir William Jones, and, naturally enough, the British in India. Apologising for the delay in publication and typographical inaccuracies, the editor refers to 'the yet infant state of the press in India'. The list of subscribers includes the Madras Circulating Library.Boyd had a colourful career: a popular figure in London fashionable society, he numbered 'Edmund Burke, Catharine Macaulay, David Garrick, John Wilkes, and Joshua Reynolds among his wide circle of acquaintances' (ODNB).

First edition, no. 74 of 225 copies of the special edition, signed by Lewis, additionally inscribed, in c. 1951, 'To Geoffrey Bridson (through whom I am enabled to finish this book) – deepest thanks and friendliest greetings / Wyndham Lewis'.'In 1921 Lewis had embarked on another ambitious project, a Rabelaisian fictional anatomy of postwar Britain.' The first portion 'finally and circuitously achieved publication at the end of the decade: The Childermass (1928), a work of theological science fiction set in an encampment of the dead on the banks of the River Styx' (Trotter).When D. G. Bridson first read The Childermass in 1932, he had concluded that 'the setting of the drama is only to be seen convincingly in the imagination. It was that fact, when I reread The Childermass in 1950, that had assured me it would make magnificent radio'. The radio production of 1951 was the genesis of his friendship with Lewis, and their collaboration in turn enabled Lewis to finish the remaining two parts of what… Read More

Description:
First English edition, one of Lewis's scarcest works (only 549 copies avoided destruction). Doom of Youth began life as a series of seven articles on youth politics in Time and Tide in June–July 1931, rounded off with a pair by G.K. Chesterton; it was expanded and first published in book form in New York. Of the 1518 copies printed only 411 had sold by the time Chatto and Windus faced two separate suits for libel, from Godfrey Winn and Alec Waugh (author of The Loom of Youth; his brother Evelyn, also satirised, took his charges on the chin). Lewis's publishers were already annoyed with him for his failure to provide them with the sequels to The Childermass, and avoided legal proceedings by withdrawing the book, returning 138 copies to Lewis and pulping 968. It was the last book he published with Chatto. 1932 was to prove an annus horribilis for Lewis, this the first of three books to be withdrawn from the market. See Bridson, The Filibuster, 'Thou Hast Robbed Me of My Youth', pp. 120–139.… Read More

Description:
Second edition of Gellius's opus with the commentary of philologist Matteo Bonfini (1441–1517), annotated throughout by a contemporary reader whose corrections and comments include references to the lectures of Paolo Bombasi as cited by Erasmus in the 1508 edition of the Adagia. Erasmus singled out Bombasi as 'the best of friends'. Bombasi (also Paulus Bombasius, or Paolo Bombace, 1476–1527) was born in Bologna of a noble family. He distinguished himself as a rhetor, philologist, and poet, and became prefect of the Vatican Library, holding regular correspondence with Erasmus. He was one of the victims of the violence which occurred in the 1527 sack of Rome. Our annotator is likely to have been part of the Bologna circle of humanists who gathered for readings of Aulus Gellius, occasionally including Erasmus who lived for some months in Bombasi's house in Bologna. The most explicit note occurs on f. 13v ('Paulus Bombasius Bononiensis hunc versiculum sic emendat … hoc modo: "saepe etiam fuit… Read More
