Paper somewhat foxed) (Condition: Binding scuffed. Marbled paper on the boards loosening from the leather backstrip) (Note: The mythographer Palaiphatos, in Latin Palaephatus, (probably a pseudonym, 'spoken long ago', or 'of old fame', a poetical adjective already found in Homer and Pindar) might be a contemporary of Aristotle. He probably dates from the second half of the fourth century B.C. Of his work we possess only a short abstract, probably composed in the Byzantine age (9th century) under the title 'On Incredible Tales'. In 52 chapters he rationalizes myths in a peripatetic way. Every myth departs from a reality, which is obscured by poets and storytellers. Palaephatus offers a historical and rational explanation. This is how the treats e.g. the abduction of princes Europa in chapter 15, eliminating the metamorphosis of Zeus and minimizing his role: 'They say that Europa, the daughter of Phoenix, was carried across the sea on the back of a bull from Tyre to Crete. But in my opinion neither a bull nor a horse would traverse so great an expanse of open water, nor would a girl climb upon the back of a wild bull. As for Zeus - if he wanted Europa to go to Crete - he would have found a better way for her travel. Here is the truth. There was a man from Cnossus by the name of Taurus who was making war on the territory of Tyre. He ended up by carrying off from Tyre quite a number of girls, including the king's daughter Europa. So people said: 'Bull has gone off with Europa, the king's daughter'. It was from this that the myth was fashioned'. ('On Unbelievable Tales, translation, introduction and commentary by J. Stern', Wauconda, 1996, p. 46/47) § The collection became a favourite mythological manual in late byzantine times. The author was probably also appreciated for debunking Greek pagan stories. From its first edition in 1505 the text enjoyed also in Western Europe a on-going popularity as a schoolbook. Palaephatus was thought a proper text to learn the rudiments of ancient Greek and at the same time the fundamentals of ancient myth. § The German classical scholar Johann Friedrich Fischer, born in 1726, studied at the University of Leipzig. In 1751 he was appointed Konrektor of the Thomasschule at Leipzig, and in 1767 Rektor, which he remained till the end of his days in 1799. In 1762 he became also 'professor extraordinarius' of Latin and Greek literature at the University. In 1761 Fischer published at Leipzig his first edition of Palaephatus. The work was evidently a success. He produced 6 editions, each one more complete and exhaustive than its precursor. This is the last one. After the text of Palaephatus, accompanied by exhaustive commentary, we find 4 'Prolusiones' of Fischer on the text, a kind of appendices, in which he explains difficulties concerning the text of Palaephatus. At the end are printed 2 'orationes' of Fischer: his inaugural lecture 'Oratio de Ioachimo Camerario grammatico pariter atque theologo excellente Lipsiae' held in 1762 on the occasion of his appointment of 'Professor extraordinarius' of ancient literature; and his lecture held on occasion of his appointment as Rector of the Thomasschule in 1767) (Provenance: The prize, dated 1840, and signed by J.J. de Gelder, was awarded to 'Paulus Claudius Lezwijn' for his diligence, and his love for Greek literature. Paulus Claudius Lezwijn, of Huguenot origin, became a prominent citizen of Leiden. In 1846 his 'dissertatio juridica' was published. Lezwijn was a leading member of the 'Waalse Kerk' at Leiden. He was also a member of a national commission for the investigation of the conditions of child labour ca. 1860. § Small paper label on the front pastedown reading: 'Boekwinkel en boekbinderij van P.

Lyon: Robert Granjon. 1558. Small 4to. Late 19th-century dark blue Jansenist morocco by Chambolle-Duru, spine lettered directly in gilt, gilt turn-ins, gilt edges, marbled endpapers; ff. [4], "lix" (i.e. lx), woodcut printer's device to title, woodcut head- and tailpieces; very light rubbing to spine and corners; very subtle, small restoration to lower outer margins of ff. *1-e4, h1-3, p1-4 (not affecting text), otherwise in excellent condition, small bookplate "Ex Libris Jean Bourdel" loosely inserted.First edition, very rare, of the first French translation of Palaephatus by the Protestant writer Guillaume Gueroult, one of the earliest books printed entirely in Civilite type, this copy handsomely bound by Chambolle-Duru.Palaephatus (Ancient Greek: Palaiphatos) is thought to be the pseudonym of a late fourth-century BC Greek author, known solely for the treatise On Incredible Things (Peri apiston). Surviving only in part, the work offers rationalised explanations of Greek myths. Each of the fifty-two brief sections follows a consistent structure: first, the myth or legend ("the fable") is presented and then rejected as implausible; finally, a rational explanation ("the history") is proposed, often interpreting the tale as a distorted recollection of historical events. Subjects include Pandora, Bellerophon, Cerberus, Medea, the Amazons, and Daedalus and Icarus. Highly influential during the Byzantine period, the text was first printed by Aldus Manutius in 1505, in the original Greek with a parallel Latin translation.Guillaume Gueroult (c. 1507-1569), a native of Rouen, studied medicine and botany before entering the printing trade under his uncle, the printer Simon Du Bosc. A convert to Protestantism, Gueroult became known for his religious poetry and his work as a proofreader in Paris. Around 1545, he fled to Geneva with his uncle to escape religious persecution. There, however, he clashed with John Calvin's moral regime, siding with the so-called libertines, a group of dissenters known for their convivial lifestyle and opposition to Calvinist austerity. Through his brother-in-law, the printer Balthazar Arnoullet, he was also involved in the publication of Michael Servetus's Christianismi Restitutio (1553), a work condemned by Calvin. Servetus was burned at the stake for heresy, while Gueroult, already expelled from Geneva for immorality, escaped a similar fate. He settled in Lyon around 1550, where he pursued a prolific output of emblem books (which inspired La Fontaine), poetry, translations (including works by Cicero and the Lutheran botanist Leonhard Fuchs), and songs - some of which were set to music by Didier Lupi Second (c. 1520-after 1559).In 1557, Gueroult partnered with the renowned Lyon printer and punchcutter Robert Granjon (c. 1513-1590), and in 1558 they published the first French translation of On Incredible Things. Gueroult's translation, in prose, is followed by ten original poetic pieces, including sonnets and odes addressed to contemporary figures such as the poets Joachim Du Bellay (c. 1522-1560) and Etienne Jodelle (1532-1573). The volume is printed entirely in Civilite type, a cursive gothic script invented by Granjon and licensed in 1557, making it one of the first ten books issued in this typeface. The Civilite type was designed to imitate contemporary French handwriting and originally intended for use in books for children. Its name derives from La civilite puerile (Granjon, 1558), a children's courtesy book based on Erasmus's De civilitate morum puerorum. Between 1557 and 1562, Granjon published around twenty editions in Civilite. The typeface, which was imitated and adapted as early as the late 1550s, enjoyed popularity across Europe well into the nineteenth century.Very rare: Library Hub lists just one copy in the UK (Glasgow); OCLC adds four copies in the US (Harvard, Newberry, Virginia, and Yale).Baudrier II, 59-60; Brunet IV, col. 312.

Edition : Second edition, Full period vellum, rebacked expertly saving the original spine. , Gaius Julius Hyginus (64 BC?AD 17) was a Latin author, a pupil of the famous Alexander Polyhistor. He was elected superintendent of the Palatine library by Augustus according to Suetonius' De Grammaticis.Palaephatus (Greek: ??????????) was the original author of a rationalizing text on Greek mythology, the work of paradoxography On Incredible Tales (Greek: ???? ??????? (????????). Palaephatus' date and name are uncertain; many scholars have concluded that Palaephatus is a pseudonym; the evidence, such as it is, is all of it consistent with the late fourth century BC.Fabius Planciades Fulgentius (fl. late 5th? early 6th century) was a Latin writer of late antiquity. Four extant works are commonly attributed to him, as well as a possible fifth which some scholars include in compilations with much reservation. His mythography was greatly admired and highly influential throughout much of the medieval period, but it is viewed with little favour today.Aratus (c. 315 BC/310 BC ? 240) was a Greek didactic poet. His major extant work is his hexameter poem Phenomena (Ancient Greek: ?????????, Phainómena, "Appearances"; Latin: Phaenomena), the first half of which is a verse setting of a lost work of the same name by Eudoxus of Cnidus. It describes the constellations and other celestial phenomena. The second half is called the Diosemeia (????????? "Forecasts"), and is chiefly about astronomy and weather forecasting. Proclus Lycaeus (412 ? 485 AD), called the Successor (Greek ??????? ? ????????, Próklos ho Diádokhos), was a Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, one of the last major classical philosophers (see Damascius). He set forth one of the most elaborate and fully developed systems of Neoplatonism. He stands near the end of the classical development of philosophy and was very influential on Western medieval philosophy (Greek and Latin).Jacob Micyllus, (6 April 1503 ? 28 January 1558) was a German Renaissance humanist and professor. , Size : Small Folio (310mm x 200m, Illustrated with 48 astronomical woodcuts, and elaborate drop crop., A platemark on the front pasted free end paper, in red and black., References : H.
