This is the 2nd edition of Cranmer's revision of the canon law, 1st published in 1571. It was translated into Latin from the English manuscript copy by Walter Haddon and Sir John Cheke.

8vo, pp.[xii], [4, blank], '349' (recte351), [1, blank]; woodcut printer's device to title, woodcut initials, a very good copy; bound in late eighteenth-century English polished calf, spine gilt in compartments with gilt red morocco lettering-piece, edges stained red, marbled endpapers, blue ribbon place-marker; extremities very slightly rubbed, corners a little worn; inscription dated 1830 erased from front flyleaf.First edition of this collection of letters between John Cheke and Stephen Gardiner debating the correct pronunciation of classical Greek, printed in Basel, where Cheke was in exile during the reign of Queen Mary. Sir John Cheke (15141557) was appointed the first Regius professor of Greek at Cambridge in 1540, later becoming tutor to EdwardVI. He was one of the most significant promoters of humanist learning in England, teaching all manner of notable men of the Tudor age, from Roger Ascham to William Cecil. As a committed Protestant connected to the Lords Protector Somerset and Northumberland, he was also heavily involved with religious reform. His involvement with Lady Jane Grey led to his imprisonment in the Tower and his exile to the Continent, where, shortly after this publication, he was apprehended in Antwerp and returned to the Tower. He was forced to recant his Protestantism to avoid being burnt at the stake, but died shortly after being freed. The pronunciation of Greek was a matter of great interest to humanist scholars of the late fifteenth century, and in 1528 Erasmus composed a treatise to explain that it should not be spoken in the manner of modern (Byzantine) Greek, but closer to the patterns of speaking recorded in classical texts. In the 1530s John Cheke and his colleague Thomas Smith also investigated problems of pronunciation, but following Cheke's lectures on this, the new Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, Stephen Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester and later Lord Chancellor under QueenMary, issued a decree in 1542 to prevent this teaching. Gardiner, while acknowledging the justification for the change, considered that it would cause problems with those used to the established pronunciation. The outcome of the dispute reflected the idea that English and Greek did not need the intermediary presence of Latin, with its association with the Roman Church, and Gardiner's reaction has also been attributed to a desire to prevent the challenge to authority made by the change in pronunciation. The printing of this work in Basel was arranged by the Italian scholar Celio Secundo Curione, apparently without Cheke's knowledge. The laudatory preface is addressed to SirAnthony Cooke, another tutor of the late EdwardVI, also in exile on the Continent. USTC 667485; VD16 C 2144; Adams C1432. Language: Latin.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. First. THE EDITIO PRINCEPS OF THE GREAT GREEK TREATISE ON WARFARE. Polyaenus: [Geneva]: Jean de Tournes, 1589. Leo VI: Basel: Conrad Waldkirch for Lazarus Zetzner, 1595. Third edition. Sexagesimo (16mo) in 8s (4 5/8" x 3 1/8", 117mm x 78mm). [Full collation available.] Bound in contemporary stab-bound stiff vellum with yapp edges. Authors and titles ink to the spine. All edges of the text-block sprinkled brown. A little tanning to the text-block, more pronounced in the final four quires, with some dampstaining to the lower margin. Remnants of an oval armorial book-label to the front paste-down. A near-fine copy, entirely unsophisticated. Polyaenus (fl. 163 AD) wrote the largest surviving treatise on Greek military stratagems (from the Greek strategeo, "be a general") and dedicated it to two emperors: Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. Rome was in the midst of the Parthian Wars; Vologases IV had seized territory in Armenia and throughout northern Mesopotamia, and the Roman governor of Cappadocia had failed to re-establish control. Marcus Aurelius -- famed as philosopher rather than a general -- dispatched his co-emperor Lucius Verus to direct the war in person. This direct involvement of the emperor was unusual, and must surely have led Polyaenus to complete and to dedicate the work ca. 163. Born in Bithynia but of Macedonian origin, Polyaenus was a Roman citizen who wrote in Greek, which remained the administrative language of the Eastern Mediterranean. By reviewing the strategy of historical Greek generals -- but including some Romans and women in the seventh and eighth books -- he offered a direct service to the prosecution of war. The complete text of the Strategemata survives in a single manuscript (Biblia Medicea Laurentiana Plut.56.1, XIVc), although there were several Byzantine abridgements. A Latin translation by Justus Vulteius (who was Professor Hebrew at Marburg) appeared in 1549; the present work is the editio princeps -- prepared by one of the luminaries of philology, Isaac Casaubon -- with text in two columns, Greek parallel to Latin. Casaubon's edition was unrevised until Wölfflin's 1860 Teubner. Leo VI ("The Wise," 866-912; r. 886 AD) was the Byzantine Emperor -- that is, the successor of the Roman Emperors after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 395 -- and a prolific author. He like Polyaenus was Macedonian by birth; this was an important credential in the authoring of military works, since Alexander of Macedon (i.e., "The Great") had long been considered the general par excellence. Leo never fought, but nevertheless compiled the Taktika (ca. 905), a work, describing military tactics, not unlike Polyaenus'. Indeed, a great deal of the Taktika is drawn from the Stratagemata, explaining the binding of the two as a sort of "ultimate handbook" for generalship. The Taktika is here present in the translation of Sir John Cheke (1514-1557), the first Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge and the polestar of English Hellenism. Cheke's translation was published in 1544 and dedicated to Henry VIII, just as Polyaenus had dedicated his work to the emperors.
