Second (?) edition of this rebuttal of Saumaise (printed 1651) which was an important work for Milton, establishing his reputation, and celebrated as a victory over Salmasius's writing.

Claude Saumaise (15 April 1588 3 September 1653), also known by the Latin name Claudius Salmasius, was a French classical scholar. The "Pliniane exercitationes" is his most famous work, in which the author, through the commentary on the work of Solinus Polyhistor, known by the title "Collectanea rerum memorabilium", studies its derivation from Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis. Solinus, taking up the works of Pliny, Pomponius Mela, Suetonius, and Terentius Varro, describes the strangest and most wonderful things inherent in peoples, customs, animals, and plants, illustrating them within a geographical framework. Mommsen has theorized that Solinus's work may have transmitted passages from Latin authors completely unknown to us. Solinus's work, in addition to Roman history, contains the description of part of Africa, Asia Minor, Arabia, India, and the Parthian Empire. Saumaise's commentary is considered the most important commentary on the "Collectanea rerum memorabilium." The third volume, entitled "Exercitationes de Homonymis Hyles Iatricae," deals with the botanical nomenclature of medicinal plants, with an essay dedicated to the identification and etymology of manna and saccarum. Salmasius learned Arabic to qualify himself for the botanical part of his task. 'In 1629 Salmasius produced his magnum opus as a critic, his commentary on Solinus's Polyhistor (also known as De mirabilibus mundi), or rather on Pliny, to whom Solinus is indebted for the most important part of his work. Greatly as this commentary may have been overrated by his contemporaries, it is a monument of learning and industry. Salmasius learned Arabic to qualify himself for the botanical part of his task. After declining overtures from Oxford, Padua and Bologna, in 1631 he accepted the professorship formerly held by Joseph Scaliger at Leiden.As a commentator and verbal critic, Salmasius is entitled to very high rank. His notes on the Augustan History and Solinus display not only massive erudition but massive good sense as well; his perception of the meaning of his author is commonly very acute, and his corrections of the text are frequently highly felicitous. His manly independence was shown in many circumstances, and the bias of his mind was liberal and sensible. He was accused of sourness of temper; but the charge, if it had any foundation, is extenuated by the wretched condition of his health' (Encyclopaedia Britannica). Brunet V 92-93 - "Ouvrage estimé".

Hardcover. Zustand: Good+. First Edition. Folio. 2 volumes.Volume 1 1-824pp & Volume 2 285-1367pp + index Salmasius, Claudius 1588-1653, French humanist and philologist. Salmasius is known in French as Claude de Saumaise. After studying Latin and Greek with his father, he began a law career at Dijon in 1610. He turned to the study of theology, Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian when his Protestantism impeded his advancement in law. In 1631 he was called to the Univ. of Leiden to succeed Joseph Scaliger. There he produced 80 books and became widely known as a scholar of the first rank. Supporting the Stuarts, he wrote Defensio regia pro Carlo I (1649), upholding the divine right of monarchy, which brought a celebrated dissenting reply from John Milton. Salmasius major works include an important commentary on Pliny (1629), and Observationes in jus Atticum et Romanum (1645). In 1629 Salmasius produced his magnum opus as a critic, his commentary on Solinuss Polyhistor, or rather on Pliny, to whom Solinus is indebted for the most important part of his work. Greatly as this commentary may have been overrated by his contemporaries, it is a monument of learning and industry. Bookplate of MP Charles Bathurst. Piece missing from top spine volume 1. Book.

Leydensi [ Editions originales ] Extraordinaire recueil réunissant l'édition originale de deux ouvrages (le plus important rédigé par l'érudit protestant d'origine bourguignonne Claude Saumaise) consacrés au sujet de la coupe et de la longueur des cheveux ! Imprimé en gros caractères, ces deux écrits se rattachent "à une polémique bizarre qui passionna et tint divisés durant des années les plus fameux docteurs de l'église évangélique hollandaise. Le roi Louis XIII, qui portait toute sa chevelure, avait introduit et fait prévaloir la mode des cheveux longs. Cette innovation choqua bon nombre de ministres protestants. S'appuyant sur un passage de la première épître de Paul au Corinthiens, ils tonnèrent en chaire contre une pratique qui leur paraissait entachée d'hérésie, et songèrent sérieusement à exclure de leurs temples les fauteurs du scandale. Un professeur d'Utrecht, Charles de Maets, se mit à la tête de cette croisade, et déduisit ses raisons dans un copieux recueil [ . ] D'autres voix s'élevèrent en faveur de la tolérance [ Polyander rédigea la consultation que l'on trouve in fine dans ce volume ] Saumaise n'était pas homme à laisser passer une si belle occasion de déployer son érudition. Tout d'abord il se déclara le champion de la liberté des coiffures, et descendit dans l'arène armé [ de ce ] formidable factum [ . ] Toute cette érudition fut dépensée en pure perte. Le public resta indifférent. En dépit des objurgations et des anathèmes, la mode prévalut, et chacun continua à se coiffer à sa guise" (Willems, 143 ).

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. Holzschnittdruckermarke auf Titel, einige Textholzschnitte, (64 Bl.), 844 S., (9 Bl.). Pergamentband der Zeit mit handschriftlichem Rückentitel. - Einzige Ausgabe dieser "attack upon astrology by Claude Saumaise or Salmasius, the great French classical scholar, in his De annis climactericis, a long work published at Leyden in 1648" (Thorndike VII, 103). - Caillet 9918; Houzeau/Lancaster 5181; Willems 644; Hirsch/Hübotter V, 29. - "The vanity and unreliability of astrology, Saumaise maintains are shown by the disagreement between astrological authors, by the fact that the present art differs from the ancient, which is today unknown, and by the gross errors made by Arabic translators from the Greek and by medieval Latin translators from the Arabic" (Thorndike VII, 103). In the body of the text, Saumaise holds that climacteric years depend upon the horoscope and so stand or fall with it. He argues that the art or science of physiognomy is possible without astrology, and that the tract on astrological medicine according to the position of the moon in the signs should not be ascribed to Hippocrates" (Thorndike VII, 104). - In 1606 or 1607 Salmasius had discovered in the library of the Counts Palatine in Heidelberg the only surviving copy of Cephalas's 10th-century unexpurgated copy of the Greek Anthology, including the 258-poem anthology of homoerotic poems by Straton of Sardis that would eventually become known as the notorious Book 12 of the Greek Anthology. Salmasius made copies of the newly discovered poems in the Palatine version and began to circulate clandestine manuscript copies of them as the Anthologia Inedita. - Sehr gut erhaltenes, nahezu fleckenfreies Exemplar.

Seconda edizione ma praticamente prima per le numerosissime aggiunte (il terzo volume, recuperato fra i manoscritti inediti di Saumaise, compare qui per la prima volta), di quest'opera del celebre antiquario, umanista e filologo francese Claudius Salmasius, forma latinizzata di Claude Saumaise, (Semur-en-Auxois, 15 aprile 1588 Spa, 3 settembre 1653). L'autore studiò legge a Heidelberg studiando sotto il giurista Denis Godefroy e rimanendo influenzato, nella lettura dei classici, dal bibliotecario Jan Gruter. A lui si deve il ritrovamento dell'unico manoscritto conosciuto della Biblioteca Palatina. Rifiutò cattedre a Oxford, Padova e Bologna per accettare poi, nel 1631, la cattedra già occupata da Joseph Scaliger a Leida. E' considerato tra gli antesignani delle teorie capitalistiche. Uomo di grande cultura e dai diversi interessi, scrisse diverse opere di carattere filologico, politico e teologico. Parlava diverse lingue fra le quali l'ebraico, l'arabo ed il persiano. Fu un sostenitore degli Stuart per i quali scrisse l'opera Defensio regia pro Carlo I (1649). Le "Pliniane exercitationes" sono la sua opera più famosa nel quale l'autore, attraverso il commento dell'opera di Solinus Polyhistor, conosciuta con il titolo di "Collectanea rerum memorabilium", ne studia la derivazione dall'Historia Naturalis di Plinio il Vecchio. Solino, riprendendo le opere di Plinio, Pomponio Mela, Svetonio e Terenzio Varrone descrive le cose più strane e meravigliose inerenti a popoli, usanze, animali e piante illustrandole all'interno di una cornice geografica. Mommsen ha teorizzato che l'opera di Solino può averci trasmesso passi di autori latini a noi del tutto sconosciuti. L'opera di Solino, oltre alla storia romana contiene la descrizione di parte dell'Africa, dell'Asia Minore, dell'Arabia, dell'India e dell'Impero dei Parti. Il commento di Saumaise è considerato il più importante commento della "Collectanea rerum memorabilium". Il terzo volume, dal titolo "Exercitationes de Homonymis Hyles Iatricae", si occupa della nomenclatura botanica delle piante medicinali, con un saggio dedicato all'individuazione e all'etimologia della manna e saccarum.
