"Though [the author] has of necessity leaned heavily upon the Dialogues and has been as faithful as possible to the historic facts, her interest is that of the novelist rather than the historian. She breathes life into the marble of antiquity [in depicting] the story of an ugly, witty, sparkling, lovable old man who could not hold his tongue, a fisher of souls who stood for freedom of speech and conscience, and whose courage speaks to us today across the centuries in the pages of this book." The New York Times critic opined: "It is a noble story, this of the life and death of Socrates; and it is the supreme merit of this little work that Miss Deutsch both realizes in herself and makes realizable to her reader its extreme nobility and spirituality." The author (1895-1982), a poet and novelist in her early career, later gained prominence as an editor, translator, and critic; this was her third published novel.

Antique print, titled: 'Silenus in Hortis Ludovisianis.' Statue of Silenus in Rome. In Greek mythology, Silenus was a companion and tutor to the wine god Dionysus. From the 1660 Dutch edition of 'Icones et Segmenta Nobil. Signorum et Statuarum quae Romae extant' by Francois Perrier. This first Dutch edition was published by Nicolaas Visscher, printed in 1660 (Amsterdam). Although Perrier was French, he fell in love with Rome when he traveled there first in 1628 and then returning in 1635 and remaining for 10 years. While there, he completed this series of 100 views of Roman statuary in the various palaces and gardens, including the Medici and Vatican gardens and the Palazzo Farnese. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Cornelis van Dalen' after 'Francois Perrier'. Cornelis van Dalen the elder (ca. 1602-1665) or Cornelis van Dalen de Jonge (ca. 1638-1664), father and son, both Dutch engravers. Francois Perrier (Pontarlier 1590 - Paris 1650) was a French painter and etcher. He resided in Rome from 1620 to 1625, where he became a follower of Giovanni Lanfranco and worked with De Cortona and Carracci. He then returned to France, and settles in Paris in 1630. There, Perrier worked in the circle of Vouet and had Charles Le Brun as his pupil. He is mostly remembered for his two series of prints after classical sculptures. These provided visual repertoires of classical models for generations of European artists and collectors. Condition: Good, given age. A few spots in the margins. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study scan carefully.
