Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 24 mo. 442, [154] pp. 18th c. olive morocco, spine flat, nicely gilt on all sides. This is the third volume of the 1639 - 1640 Elzevier edition of the works of Seneca the Elder & Younger (Willems notes a 1640 edition, but not this edition). The first two volumes contain Seneca the Younger, while the third volume contains the works of the Elder, his father. So this volume, although an odd volume technically speaking, stands alone as complete for Seneca the Elder. A lovely copy in a charming binding. This printing is one of Bonaventura and Abraham Elzevir's famed pocket editions of Latin classics, initiated in 1629 during an expansion of the press. The aim was to ensure wide circulation of accurate texts for everyday use, and the books were printed with engraved title-pages, narrow margins, and a distinctive font of type, cut by Christoffel van Dijck, whose influence on subsequent typographers endured well into the 19th century.

Dieser Nachweis ist ihm wohl nicht gelungen. Das mindert die Bedeutung seiner Schrift allerdings nur geringfügig. Denn sind auch vor Nepos schon Einzelschriften über Politiker [.] verfasst worden, die politischen Biographien zum Verwechseln ähnlich waren, so gab es aber davon keine Sammlungen. Es war vielmehr Nepos, der als erster eine Sammlung von Feldherrn-Viten herausgab. Demgemäß kann Nepos sein Wissen nicht aus Sammlungen geschöpft haben. Es muss [.] direkt historischen Werken entnommen sein. Damit erhalten Nepos' Biographien einen recht hohen Quellenwert, zumal sein Wissen außer auf Thukydides vor allem auf hellenistischen Standardwerken wie denen von Ephoros und Theopomp basiert [.]. Folglich muss hinsichtlich Nepos' sog. historischen Irrtümern künftig intensiver geprüft werden, ob es sich bei ihnen um wirkliche oder nur vermeintliche Irrtümer handelt." (etc.; J. Klowski, in: Forum Classicum, 2004, p. 197 f.) -- Der französische Oratorianer Antoine Le Gras OrJMI (ca. 1680-1751) "se fit remarquer par ses talens et ses moeurs. Etant rentré dans le monde, il cultiva les lettres, et s'attacha surtout à l'élude de l'Ecriture et des Pères" (de Feller, 4, 1818). - Haude strebte offensichtlich eine anspruchsvolle klassische Ausgabe an : sowohl Gerard Jean (Gerhard Johann) Vossius als auch André (Andreas) Schott od. Schot S.J. sind namhafte Autoren des 16./17. Jahrhunderts (vgl. u.a. ADB) -- Der Berliner Buchhändler Ambrosius Haude 1690-1748) galt seinerzeit schon als ambitiöser, aber auch kultivierter Unternehmer: "Kulturhistorisch interessant sind Haudes Beziehungen zu dem damaligen Kronprinzen, späteren König Friedrich II. Der Kronprinz hatte bekanntlich eine große Vorliebe für die klassischen und namentlich französischen litterarischen Erzeugnisse [.]. [.] Der Schwetschkesche Codex nundinarius führt für die Jahre 1740-1748 insgesamt 166 Haudesche Verlagsartikel auf. Die von Haude unternommene Sammlung von Textausgaben klassischer Schriften trugen seinem Drucker nach dem Bericht Friedrich Nicolais den ehrenvollen Namen eines 'deutschen Elzeviers' ein. Das Titelblatt des ersten Bandes schmückte das [.] Verlagssignet, bestehend in dem Brustbilde einer gepanzerten und behelmten 'Minerva', über [welcher] die Worte des Horaz 'Sapere aude' standen." (zeno org, online) - Haude, "der eine ausgezeichnete Schulbildung erhalten hatte und die lateinische und französische Sprache beherrschte", erhielt 1723 das Privileg zur Führung einer Buchhandlung in Berlin [.]. [. .Sein] besonderes Verdienst war die Begründung einer sauber gedruckten und geschmackvoll ausgestatteten Sammlung von Textausgaben klassischer Schriftsteller."

8°. 1 Bl. Vortitel, 1 gest. Tafel, 1 Titelblatt mit gest. Vignette, 5 Bl., 341 S., 7 S. Index. - Beigebunden: De Vita et Moribus Imperatorum Romanorum. bei GaasbeQuios, Lugd. Batav., 1769, 232 S., 4 Bl. Index, beide Teile mit zahlreichen Textkupfern mit Abb. der Porträts. Pergament der Zeit mit 5 durchzogenen Bünden, hs. Rückentitel. Mit Besitzervermerk (alt) "Sigism. Spoendlini 1809". Minimst altersfleckig. 1 Bogen lose. Sehr gutes Exemplar. Sextus Aurelius Victor (*um 320; um 390) war ein spätantiker römischer Geschichtsschreiber. Er stammte aller Wahrscheinlichkeit aus einer der nordafrikanischen Provinzen des römischen Reichs. Trotz Abkunft aus einfachen Verhältnissen erhielt er wohl in seiner Heimat eine sehr gute Ausbildung. Spätestens 337 siedelte er nach Rom über, wo er vermutlich juristische Studien trieb. In der Folgezeit machte er in der Reichsverwaltung Karriere. In der Stadt Sirmium in Pannonien war er wohl in der Kanzlei des dortigen Provinzstatthalters tätig. Er war kein Christ, sondern hielt an den alten Religionen fest und wurde von dem ebenfalls nicht-christlichen Kaiser Julian gefördert. Julian machte ihn 361 zum Statthalter der Provinz Pannonia Secunda, deren Hauptstadt Sirmium war, und verlieh ihm konsularischen Rang; spätestens damals muss er in den Senatorenstand aufgenommen worden sein. Der Tod Julians 363 bedeutete für Victor wohl einen Rückschlag; vielleicht schon damals, spätestens 365 verlor er sein Amt. Über seine Tätigkeiten in den folgenden Jahrzehnten ist nichts bekannt; er taucht in der Geschichtsschreibung erst nach einem Vierteljahrhundert wieder auf: Kaiser Theodosius I. ernannte ihn 388 zum Stadtpräfekten von Rom, doch übte er dieses hohe Amt nur bis 389 aus. Vermutlich ist er kurz danach gestorben. Victor schrieb 360/361 das Werk Historiae abbreviatae, das als Liber de Caesaribus oder Caesares bekannt wurde. Es behandelt knapp die römische Kaisergeschichte von Augustus bis Constantius II. und ist das einzige erhaltene Werk Victors. Die Historiae abbreviatae bieten trotz ihrer Kürze wichtige Nachrichten über das dritte und das vierte Jahrhundert. Auffällig sind Victors Gewohnheit, die beschriebenen Persönlichkeiten nach ihrem Bildungsstand zu beurteilen, seine lebhafte Abneigung gegen die Übermacht des Militärs und das (mutmaßlich auf tiefe Missbilligung zurückzuführende) Verschweigen der Rolle des Christentums und der Kirche.
