Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp.73-88. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author to W. Haase. - Author's name underlined on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: The essay De facie in orbe lunae is complex in structure. The dialogue proper is a conversation reported by Plutarchs brother Lamprias, who was a chief speaker and who, during chapters 1-23, joined with one Lucius in recapitulating for the six other interlocutors some previous discourse (or discourses) that occurred under unspecified circumstances. The reason these circumstances are unspecified, as well as those of the conversation itself, is surely that the beginning of the De facie is lost. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Reprint. Condition: Gut. pp. 172-185.

Haase. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: In the so-called Lamprias Catalogue, a Perí ton próton phílosofe sánton kai ton áp' aftón (No. 184) is attributed to Plutarch. The work no longer exists, but its title is reminiscent of Metaph. 983 b 6ff., cf. tón de próton philosofesánton, where Aristotle describes Thales as "the founding father (árchegós) of this kind of philosophy", i.e. the philosophy of those who acknowledged only the "material cause", and who, in Aristotle's opinion, first deserved the name of philosophers.

Sonderdruck. Condition: Gut. pp. 143-163.

Haase. - Binding a little light edged, author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: In surveying the sources of Plutarchs education and learning, K. Ziegler observed that Plutarch was quite familiar with Herodotus History, and quoted it more often in his Moralia than in his Vitae1. Certainly Plutarchs knowledge of and interest in the History is well illustrated by De Herodoti malignitate (Mor. 854D -874 C), a treatise sometimes denied authenticity because of its very negative assessment of Herodotus, and the belief that Plutarch was a kind and good-natured thinker incapable of such an hostile critique. The current consensus, however, is that De Herodoti malignitate is genuine, and like Plutarchs other polemical works, e.g. Adversus Colotem, or De Stoicorum repugnantiis, shows how capable he was of harsh and biased criticism. Attempts, moreover, to regard De Herodoti malignitate as a youthful essay seem unconvincing: its chronology cannot be fixed with certainty, and even if it were early, not much would thereby be shown about Plutarchs overall attitude toward Herodotus.

Sonderdruck. Condition: Gut. S. 114-118. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Mit Widmung des Autors. - Einband bestoßen und fleckig, Name des Autors handschriftl. auf dem Einband, Text sauber. - Aus dem Text: Plutarch tadelt den Dichter Simylos, weil dieser in seiner Darstellung der Tarpeiasage nicht die Sabiner, sondern die Kelten das Kapitol belagern und einnehmen ließ. Das Motiv für den Verrat der Tarpeia war nach Simylos ihre Liebe zum König der Kelten (.); ebenso wird bei Properz IV 4 Tarpeia aus Liebe zu dem Sabinerkönig Tatius zur Verräterin. . Das erste Distichon hat den Herausgebern und Übersetzern des Plutarch von jeher Schwierigkeiten gemacht. Amyot nahm an, daß hier vom Tod durch Ertränken die Rede sei; er übersetzt: «Or des Gaulois la populeuse armée, / Dedans le Po ne la point abysmée .» Von neuern Übersetzern stimmen mit Amyot in dieser Auffassung der fraglichen Stelle überein z.

Condition: Gut. S: 271-282. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Mit Widmung des Autors. - Einband etwas lichtrandig und braunfleckig, Autorenname handschriftl. auf dem Einband, sonst gut und sauber. - Aus dem Text: Nach antiquarischer Ueberlieferung wurden an den Nonae Capro-tinae, dem 7. Juli, in Rom religiöse Bräuche geübt, die man z.T. auf den Tod des Romulus, z.T. auf ein kriegerisches Ereignis nach dem Galliersturm bezog. Plutarch kommt darauf sowohl in der Vita des Romulus wie in der des Camillus ausführlich zu sprechen. Im Romulus (c. 29) geht er vom Tod des Heros aus und sagt, dass man zum Andenken an diesen Tag am Ziegensumpf, der Caprae palus, ein Opfer bringe und dass die Römer sich beim Auszug gegenseitig beim Namen riefen. Dies sei eine Erinnerung an das Unwetter, das so hatte er kurz zuvor erzählt (27, 6-7) die am Ziegensumpf versammelten Römer in panischen Schrecken versetzt hatte und bei dem Romulus auf geheimnisvolle Weise verschwunden war. Nach anderen werde die Anrufung indes auf einen nächtlichen Auszug der Römer nach der Gailierkatastrophe gedeutet, dessen nähere Umstände eingehend geschildert werden. Aus bestimmten Gründen gibt Plutarch aber schliesslich der ersten Deutung den Vorzug. Im Camillus (c. 33) ist der Ausgangspunkt ein von den Latinern nach dem Abzug der Gallier unternommer Zug gegen Rom, dessen erfolgreiche Abwehr zunächst nach einer mythischen Version nämlich eben jener ätiologischen Geschichte und dann erst nach der historischen Ueberlieferung erzählt wird. Jene mythische Geschichte nun mündet in die Aufzählung verschiedener Festbräuche, die zum Andenken an das Ereignis geübt wurden. Indes, so beschliesst Plutarch diesen Abschnitt, würden andere das meiste davon auf den Tod des Romulus beziehen; dieser sei nämlich am Ziegensumpf verschwunden, wie in dessen Vita beschrieben sei, ós én tois perí ékeínou gégraptai (Cam. 33,10). - Wikipedia: Winfried Bühler (* 11.

Hardcover. Condition: Nearly Fine. Nine parts, small quarto. [pi]4 a-t4, A-D4 [chi]2 (= 98 unnumbered leaves). 12 woodcut initials (11 arabesques; 1 depicting a noble and attendant on black ground). Recent limp boards. Faint waterstain in the margin of a few pages, else fine throughout. Rare early Latin versions of nine works from the "Moralia," a designation used since medieval times for the voluminous and varied writings (apart from the Lives) by the historian, biographer, essayist, and philosopher, Plutarch of Chaeronea (50-after 120 C.E). As seen in the present collection, much of this corpus consists of short treatises on themes of popular moral philosophy. The first three selections, On Tranquility of Mind, On the Fortune of the Romans, and On the Fortune or the Virtue of Alexander, are translated by Guillaume Budé (1467-1540) and are preceded by the original dated prefaces. They were first published by Josse Bade at Paris in 1505. Along with a Latin version of Plutarch's On the Opinions of the Philosophers which Bade published in 1503, these opuscules are the first published works of the celebrated Budé and the earliest printed translations from the Greek prepared by a Frenchman. "Budé had first forged his skills by translating into Latin four treatises of Plutarch (De placitis philosophorum, De fortuna Romanorum, 1503; De tranquillitate et securitate animi, De fortuna vel virtute Alexandri, 1505)." (Bietenholz). According to Aulotte, Budé made his translations on the basis of a single Greek manuscript which is now preserved in the Leiden University Library (codex Vossianus graecus Q2), and contains Budé's marginal annotations. In 1502 Louis XII sent Budé as ambassador to the coronation of Pope Julius II in Rome, where he visited ancient sites and the papal library. It was on this trip to Italy that Budé found time to work on his translation of Plutarch. He may have been encouraged in these efforts by his occasional tutor in Greek, Janus Lascaris (McNeil), who was at the time too busy to prepare a translation of On the Opinions of the Philosophers requested by Germaine de Ganay (Budé Exhibition). Sir Thomas Wyatt's English edition of De tranquillitate (London: Pynson, 1528) was translated from Budé's Latin version "At new year 1528 Wyatt presented Katherine of Aragon with Quyete of Mynde, a translation of Plutarch from Guillaume Budé's Latin version" (ODNB). The collection continues with Angelo Poliziano's Latin version of Love Stories. While the brief dedicatory epistle to Lorenzo de' Medici is dated 1478, this opuscule may not have been published prior to the 1498 Aldine edition of Poliziano's Opera. The anonymous translation of On Envy and Hate which follows appears as an appendix to Beroaldus the Elder's edition of Censorinus published at Bologna in 1497; this edition was reissued the following year by Vitalibus at Venice. Advice to the Bride and Groom and On Moral Virtue are translated by Carlo Valgulio; they are preceded by the translator's undated dedication to Pope Alexander VI and and Giovanni Borgia, and appear as appendices to his Latin version of Cleomedes published at Brescia in 1497. The collection concludes with How to Profit by One's Enemies and On Listening to Lectures, here translated by Giovanni Calfurnio. We have not located earlier publications of these two essays translated by Calfurnio. They may in fact make their only appearance here, as Erasmus' version of How to Profit by One's Enemies supplants Calfurnio's version in later collections, and Ottomaro Luscinio's version of On Listening to Lectures appears in the Vasconsan & du Pre collection (Paris, 1544). Regarding the date of this rare Venetian edition, we note that the copy (K1171a) at the Bibliothèque Humaniste Sélestat bears the entry of Beatus Rhenanus, dated 1514. As Norton observes, "Bernardinus printed extensively. but after 1507 only occasional books signed by him are known until he renewed his activity in 1517-19." Thus it appears likely that our edition was printed pri.
