Raro studio originale del 1835-38 sull'antica lingua umbra del filologo Georg Friedrich Grotefend (1775-1853) autore di numerosi testi accademici di storia e lingue antiche. Fu co-fondatore della serie Monumenta Germaniae Historica di fonte storiche, tuttora ampiamente consultato oggi e viene ricordato per il suo ruolo nel descrivere i vecchi cuneiformi persiani. Durante la sua vita era meglio conosciuto per i suoi studi della geografia e storia dell'Italia Pre romana e le sue analisi delle prove frammentarie per le lingue Umbrie e Oscane. Iscrizioni da edifici, tavolette, monete e vascelli permettono a Grotefend di ricostruire significative porzioni delle grammatiche di queste primitive lingue alla branca italica della famiglia Indo-Europea. L'opera è composta da otto tomi legati insieme ed è completa. In ottime condizioni. Copertina in mezza pelle con titolo e decorazioni in oro al dorso in ottime condizioni generali con lievi usure ai margini e dorso. Legatura in buone condizioni. All'interno le pagine si presentano in ottime condizioni con rare fioriture. Tagli rossi. In 8. cm. 25,5x22. Pp. 22+(2)+34+(2)+27+(1)+28+32+32+40+40Very scarce decree of 1554 by the Pope Giulio III about blasphemy, the absolute prohibition to curse. The philologist Georg Friedrich Grotefend (1775?1853) combined his career as a senior master at schools in Frankfurt and Hannover with the publication of school textbooks on German and Latin, and academic research in ancient history and languages. He was a co-founder of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica series of historical sources, still widely consulted today, and is also remembered for his role in deciphering Old Persian cuneiform. During his lifetime he was best known for his study of the geography and history of pre-Roman Italy (published 1840?2 and also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection) and his analyses of the fragmentary evidence for the Umbrian and Oscan languages, published in Latin in 1835?9 and now reissued in this volume. Inscriptions from buildings, tablets, coins and vessels allow Grotefend to reconstruct significant portions of the grammars of these early languages belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European family. In very good conditions. Half leather cover with gilted title and decorations in the spine in very good conditions lightly worn in the extremities. Binding in good conditions. Inside pages are in very good conditions with occasional foxing. Red external edges of pages. In 8. cm. 25,5x22. Pp. 22+(2)+34+(2)+27+(1)+28+32+32+40+40.
