Each volume's title page with an in-text woodcut of a bust of various ancient persons: Plato, Aristippus, Diogenes, Pericles, Alcibiades, among others. Text in ancient Greek, with the notes and commentary in Latin. With Henry Stephanus' commentary and editing. Also with notes and analysis by Marsilius Ficinius, with additional various notes. Brunet 761. Dibdin 299. Moss 426-427. This set was published in twelve volumes. The twelfth volume was published in 1788, and contains only a summary of Plato's philosophy in Latin, and an essay by M. Thiedman. It would appear that this final volume is rare: as of 11/23/2022 this cataloger could not locate the twelfth volume of this set in OCLC, or in active commerce. All of Plato's philosophy which was published in this set is present in the first eleven volumes. Plato remains a foundational figure in Western philosophy, with his dialogues touching on metaphysics, love, justice, civic duty, and countless other ancient themes and motifs which remain relevant today. Plato is the reason we are able to construct a picture of Socrates' life: his work provides a good deal of historical information on the Golden Age of Athens. This is a very attractive set of Plato's works, edited by two seminal classical scholars. Minor wear to the extremities: overall the bindings are quite sharp except for the front joint of volume nine, which is starting. Each volume's front pastedown has an armorial bookplate and an early nineteenth-century name. Volumes six, nine, and ten each have a small, unobtrusive dampspot to a part of their textblocks.

Marmorpapiervorsätze.(etwas berieben und bestossen, Rückenschild abgesprungen). 2 Bll. 539 (recte 545, 283-288 wiederholt) S., 17 Bl. Mit großer Holzschn.-druckermarke. Erste Stephanus-Ausgabe der "Anthologia Planudea", der von Max…imos Planudes Ende des 13. Jhtds. bearbeiteten und erweiteten Epigrammsammlung des Konstantinos Kephalas, der wiederum Sammlungen des ersten vorchristlichen bis 6. nachchristl. Jhdts als Quellen nutzte. "Henry Estiennes important edition of the Greek Anthology. provided a much better text than any of its predecessors. The volume contains 15 pages of annotations by Estienne, who, in the course of theses, gives a latin translation of one epigram. and than provides 50 different alternate versions of the last distich. (a)poetic tour des force" (Schreiber) "Stephanus hat in den 50 latein. Fassungen alle Register gedanklicher und sprachlicher Variationskunst gezogen. nicht ohne Anzüglichkeiten im Sinne einer Alterserotik.Das alles ist als eine Äußerung des literarischen Manierismus zu verstehen. Zum Textbestand. fügte Stephanus weitere Epigramme hinzu. Besonders zu beachten sind sechs Rätselepigramme auf S. 535, die nach der Bemerkung im Anhang aus einer Handschrift des Engländers Johannes Clemens in Löwen stammen; dies ist vielleicht die älteste sichere Spur der "Anthologia Palatina" (Bibliotheca Palatina , Text S. 394 ff., zum Schicksal der berühmten Heidelberger Handschrift vgl. S. 485 ff. ) Prachtvoller griechischer Druck mit latein. Vorrede und den latein. Anmerk. des Stephanus. Leicht gebräunt, die ersten 3 Lagen etwas stärker und mit schwachen alten Marginalien. Gutes Exemplar. - Adams A 1187, Schreiber 159, Renouard 126, Brunet I 308, Hoffmann I, 169. Buch.
