Item description from seller

XXIII, 240 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - INTRODUCTION -- PREFATORY REMARKS -- After the unexpected success of the De institutione feminae Christianae Vives turned to the writing of a similar treatise, this time more from the male vantage point, at the request of various friends, especially Alvaro de Castro, probably a fellow converso, a merchant from Burgos, with whom he shared lodgings in London. At first he merely jotted down some occasional notes in Spanish since Alvaro was not proficient in Latin. Then, finding that his efforts contained some promise, he decided to elaborate them in Latin and dedicated the new treatise to Juan de Borja y Enriquez, Duke of Gandía, a distinguished Valencian nobleman. Other friends were instrumental in obtaining the patronage of the Duke, including Juan Andrés Estrany, a man of great learning and piety, and Juan Honorato, a former student of Vives in Louvain. -- The structure of the work betrays an unevenness of composition. The first four chapters are much lengthier than the others, occupying twice as much space as the remaining nine. The first chapter bears no specific heading save for the title of the treatise itself. In the 1540 edition, however, it is given the name De coniugii origine et utilitate in an Index capitum, which follows immediately upon the preface. It was probably added by the editor rather than Vives himself, but for conveniences sake and to fill in this rather awkward absence of a chapter heading I have adopted it in this edition. This first chapter was sometimes published separately, bearing this title, as an abbreviated version of the complete work. -- Although Vives entitled his book De officio mariti, much of the discussion is centered upon the woman, repeating things said in the first treatise. This second treatment of the subject was often joined to the De institutione, beginning with the Winter edition of 1540, and in translation, especially into French, it was often regarded as a fourth book of the previous work. For that and other reasons it is important to make this work available in a critical text as a companion volume to the De institutione, published in two volumes in this series, in 1996 and 1998. -- The main objective of this edition, as with all those in the Selected Works of Juan Luis Vives, is to provide an accurate text, expurgated of errors, as far as possible, and equipped with the necessary scholarly appurtenances, together with a faithful translation into English, which is accompanied by some rudimentary historical notes to supplement in English the apparatus fontium of the Latin text.
