Title page yellowing) (Note: The Greek grammarian Stephanus Byzantinus, who lived at Constantinople after the time of the Roman emperors Honorius and Arcadius (end 4th century), is the author of a well-known geographic lexicon, called 'Ethnika', of which work we only possess an epitome (kat' epitomên). The 'Ethnika', which is lost, consisted of between 50 and 60 books, and listed in alphabetical order place-names, with the adjectives derived from them. It offered information on foundation legends, etymologies, historical anecdotes, proverbs etc. The lexicon was epitomized ca. 530 A.D. by a certain Hermolaus, who dedicated his abridgement to the emperor Justinian. Stephanus Byzantinus was originally interested not so much in geography or history, but in grammar and etymology, i.e. the correct formation of ethnic adjectives derived from the names of places, islands, regions and countries in the ancient world. Stephanus Byzantinus' sources were Herodianus, Dionysius Periegetes, Strabo, Hecataeus, Pausanias, Polybius, and many other now lost grammarians and historians. The value of this compilation lies in the preservation of material from works otherwise lost. The title of the 'Ethnika' has been a matter of dispute ever since the Aldine 'editio princeps' of 1502, where it is entitled 'Peri Poleôn'. The Florentine Iunta edition of 1521 went 'Peri Poleôn kai Dêmôn', or 'de Urbibus et Populis', with which title Berkelius also headed his text. (p.1) Thomas de Pinedo, a Spanish Jew, 1614-1679, who was obliged to leave his native country and seek a refuge in Amsterdam from inquisitorial persecution, was the first to add a Latin translation to an edition of 'De Urbibus' (Amsterdam 1678). This edition of 1688 was edited by the Dutch scholar Abraham Berkelius (in Dutch Van Berckel or Van Berkel), together with his commentary and Latin translation. He adopted collations made by the French scholar Claudius Salmasius, 1588-1653, from manuscripts of the 'Bibliotheca Palatina' during his stay at Heidelberg, and notes and 'various readings' collected by the Dutch professor of Greek Jacobus Gronovius, 1645-1716, from the 'Codex Perusinus'. Berkelius, 1639/40-1686, studied Greek under Gronovius, and was appointed Rector of the 'Schola Latina' at Delft. Stephanus Byzantinus was not new to Berkelius. He had published earlier at the same publisher, Van Gaesbeek, in 1674 an edition that contained fragments of Stephanus Byzantinus' 'Ethnika', the 'Genuina Stephani Byzantini de Urbibus et Populis fragmenta', a small work of 25 pages. The involvement in the edition of 1688 of his master Gronovius also does not come as a surprise, for he published for Van Gaesbeek in 1681 a fragment of Stephanus Byzantinus on the Greek oracle at Dodona, with 3 Latin translations and a commentary) (Collation: Part 1: a4, b-c2, d1; A-5D4, 5E2; 6A2-6D2. Part 2: A-I2 (leaf I2 verso blank)) (Heavy book, may require extra shipping costs) (Photographs on request) 4000 gr.…

Ex Libris (in pen): F.H.E. Wolf, Ultrajecti 1872. Beautiful copy (only last empty page with a tear).The 'Gentilia' ('Ethnika' in Greek) is an extensive geographical dictionary, composed by Stephanus Byzantinus, a linguist that lived in the first half of the sixth century in Constantinopel. This is his only known work. This work consists of just fragments, because this 800 paged book is just an epitome, an excerpt of the original book, that was probably made by Hermolaus, who lived a century after Stephanus.The dictionary, that was titled in other editions 'De urbibus inscripta' (inscriptions on cities) in this edition is the title at the top of the pages 'De urbibus et populis' (about cities and people) - , gives us explanations of geographical and ethnographical names from antiquity with their derivations. He gives these explanations using religious and mythological particularities.Our copy is one of the second editions (first edition in 1688 with D. van Gaesbeeck at Leiden) that was provided by Abraham van Berkel (1639 1686), rector of the Latin School at Delft. Van Berkel used a big part of his life to work on this parallel edition with the Greek and Latin text in two columns next to each other and under these texts in a smaller letter extensive footnotes. He didn't, however, see the end result, because he died two years before the publication.The dictionary is followed by a study by the Leiden scholar Jacobus Gronovius (1645 1716), who collected some readings about one of the handwritings of the 'Gentilia', de codex Perusinus, and added his commentary. This part has its own pagination and title page and was dedicated to the Leiden rector magnificus Carolus Drelincourt.Tekst in Grieks en Latijn - Prijsband Amsterdam - zeldzaam - voor 1700 gedrukt - vuurtoren vignet - Gronovius - Abraham van Berkel - Latijnse school - Haaring Drukker Frederik Haaring werkte in Leiden van 1688-1712.…
