Boards slightly curved. Old references in ink on the front flyleaf of the first volume. Some marginal pencil annotations. Paper occasionally yellowing) (Note: 'This is not only the most beautiful, but the most accurate and complete edition of Lucian'. (Dibdin) The Greek author of Syrian descent Lucianus, born ca. 120 A.D. in Samosata on the Euphrate, and still alive in 180, was trained as a rhetorician, won wealth and fame, but nevertheless abandoned rhetoric, and turned to philosophy. He then learned to contempt the philosophers of his time, and pursued later in life a career as civil servant in Alexandria. His surviving works show that he was a witty and intelligent author, who knew how to entertain his public. He amused his readers with his witty disgust for all forms of supernaturalism, superstition and vanity. He is best known for his works on literary subjects, such as 'How to write history', and for his romances 'A true story' and 'Lucius, or the Ass', for his satirical dialogues, and his quasi-philosophical treatises, such as 'Dialogues of the Dead', which are 'curious and grimly funny little sketches, the moral of which is usually the vanity of human pride and wealth'. (H.J. Rose, A handbook of Greek literature', London 1967, p. 419). Renaissance enthusiasm revived Lucian. He was admired by humanist scholars for his supple style and his pure Attic vocabulary. 'Students of Greek found his colloquial style congenial, and Renaissance wits strove to imitate his humorous vision of the world'. (The Classical Tradition, N.Y. 2010, p. 544) In the early 16th century the Dutch scholar Erasmus 'praised Lucian as a relentless persecutor of all superstition, and many of his Latin Colloquia, such as Charon (1529) draw inspiration from Lucianic dialogue'. (op. cit. 545) Thomas More's Utopia (1515) is also indebted to the fantastic voyage in Lucian's 'True Story'. 'The Lucianic quest culminated in the philosophical 'conte' of the Enlightenment, of which Voltaire's Candide (1759) is the most celebrated and influential example'. (op. cit. 545) The honour of reviving the study of Greek in the Netherlands belongs to the Dutch classical scholar Tiberius Hemsterhuis, 1685-1766, who became professor Mathematics and Philosophy at the Athenaeum of Amsterdam at the age of 19. His great example was the English classical scholar Richard Bentley, 1662-1742, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, with whom he corresponded early in his career. In 1705 Hemsterhuis was promoted to a professorship in Harderwijk, and in 1717 he was appointed professor of Greek at the University of Franeker. In 1740 he was finally called to Leiden. He produced an edition of Pollux (1706), 'Luciani colloquia et Timon' (1708), the complete works of Lucianus (1743) and of the Plutus of Aristophanes (1744), a work which Gudeman calls 'epochemachend'. He contributed also notes to the editions of many other scholars. Sandys observes that 'the work of a Hemsterhuis was worth whole bundles of the mechanically manufactured products of a Burman'. (Sandys 2,451) Hemsterhuis was the founder of a Dutch school of criticism, the so-called 'Schola Hemsterhusiana', which had disciples in Valckenaer, Jacob van Lennep and David Ruhnken. The last one was the most famous of his pupils. 'Hemsterhuis has had the supreme felicity of being immortalised by 'laudator eloquentissimus' Ruhnken. The 'Elogium T. Hemsterhusii', delivered in 1768 by his pupil Ruhnken, on resigning the office of Rector, is one of the Classics in the History of Scholarship. It presents us with the living picture of the perfect critic'. (Idem, ibidem) This perfect critic produced the greater part of the first volume. It contains, according to Dibdin, a rich fund of the most curious and profound criticism relating to Lucian. The second and third volume was produced by the classical scholar of German origin, Johann Friedrich Reitz, 1695-1778, who had studied at Utrecht, became conrector/rector of the local Schola Latina, and was for the last 30 years of his life professor of History and Eloquence in the University of Utrecht. His younger brother Karel Koenraad Reitz, then Rector of the Schola Latina of Gorcum, compiled the erudite 'Lexicon Lucianeum' (Utrecht 1746), which is often added as 4th volume to the 3 volumes Lucianus editions. The Latin translation of the German scholar Johann Matthias Gesner, 1691-1761, is according to Sandys admirable, He contributed also excellent notes and emendations. (Sandys 3, p. 5) Instead of the 'Lexicon Lucianeum', another 4th volume has been added to our set, consisting of an Appendix of Hemsterhuis' notes and annotations. It was compiled by the Dutch classical scholar and librarian of the University of Leiden, Jacob Geel, 1789-1862. In the preface to the Appendix Geel explains that he collected and edited important observations that he found in Hemsterhuis' papers, his correspondence and in the margins of his books residing in the University's library collections. He also thanks the firm of Luchtmans that they took the trouble to produce an edition similiar in appearance to the 'Lexicon Lucianeum', so that it may be considered a matching supplement to the edition of 1743/46.

In her left hand she holds an opened book and a palm leaf. Her feet rest on the globe; the garland of fruit which surrounds her shows a ribbon with a motto in Greek: 'Alêtheia Pandamatôr', i.e. 'Allmighty Truth'. Ad 2: completely printed in italics; engraved printer's mark on title, a 'Ouroboros', with motto: 'quod tibi fieri non vis, alteri ne feceris', type no. 5. (See Cartier p. 40); Prism mark, type d on the verso of the last leaf, with motto 'Nescit labi virtus' (See Cartier p. 42) (Condition: Back rubbed; corners bumped; paper on covers slightly worn; a few small wormholes in the second half of the first work only; occasional faint pencil underlinings; old ownership entry at the upper margin of the title of Asconius erased; first title slightly soiled) (Note: Ad 1: Festus is a 2nd century abbreviator of a lost lexicographic work by Marcus Verrius Flaccus, dating from the first century B.C. Remains of his work survive in Festus; J.J. Scaliger, 1540-1609, produced a highly acclaimed edition in 1575. He was praised for his success at completing blank portions of the Farnese manuscript. The editor uses both Paulus Diaconus and Festus for a reconstruction of the text in strict alphabetical order, from A to V; Bernays tells us that the 216 pages with the 'Castigationes' of Scaliger are 'unverändert abgedruckt' in this edition of 1593 (Bernays p. 279). Scaliger's notes are followed by the notes of lesser gods, but nevertheless 'docti viri'. Ad 2: Asconius Pedianus, probably 3-88 A.D, produced for his sons a historical commentary on a number of the orations of the Roman politician/orator Cicero, the Verrines, pro Cornelio, contra M. Antonium & Catilinam, contra Pisonem, pro Scauro, & pro Milone. François Hotman, 1524-1590, was a French protestant jurist and author) (Provenance: Engraved bookplate of Jonkheer Henri de Brauw, depicting his coat of arms) (Collation: Festus: q - 2q8, a - v8 x8 (minus x8 blank); A - V8 X2; 2A - 2E8 2F2.

Paris (Parisiis), Apud Arnoldum Sittart, 1584.
8vo (XXVIII),CCCIX,(1 blank),(22 index),(2 blank); LXXV,(1 blank),(10),CCXVI,(24 index),84 p. Limp vellum 17 cm (Ref: Smitskamp 61; Schweiger 2,355 & 1134; Brunet 5,2 1148; Renouard-1926, n° 1044 (Renouard et alii, 'Imprimeurs et libraires parisiens du XVIe siècle', Paris, 1964)) (Details: 5 thongs laced through the joints. Engraved printer's mark of Arnoldus Sittart on the title, his motto: 'Finis coronat opus', 'the end crowns the work'. (BaTyR : Base de Typographie de la Renaissance, no. 28409) The printer's mark shows the coat of arms of Cologne, the city where Arnoldus Sittart was born: the escutcheon bears 3 crowns and beneath them are twelve drops; the escutcheon is supported by a standing crowned griffin and idem lion; above the shield a helmet with peacock feathers as crest. (See for an explanation Wikipedia 'Kölner Wappen') (Condition: The vellum is probably recycled from another book; that is why the cover is wrinkled, dog-eared, slighlty soiled, and cut short. A small piece of the outer-edge of the backcover has gone. Three names and a small inscription on the title, 1 name has been erased. Partly slightly waterstained at the lower margin. Some hardly visible pinpoint wormholes near the right lower corner of one quarter of the book) (Note: Festus is a 2nd century grammarian, who produced an abbreviation of a lexicographic work by Marcus Verrius Flaccus, a wellknown antiquarian and grammarian living in Augustan Rome. Verrius compiled an enormous lexicon in 80 books, full of unusual, difficult, and archaic words, with discussions about customs, political institutions, beliefs and Roman law. Remains of his work survive in the epitome of 20 books made by Sextus Pompeius Festus. Festus also added examples found in other sources; an other epitome of this epitome of Festus was made in the 9th century by the historian Paulus Diaconus. The original work of Verrius is completely lost, and only 1 manuscript of Festus survived the Middle Ages in a heavily mutilated form. The first reliable text, which was a great improvement compared to earlier editions was published in 1559 by Antonio Agustin, 1517-1586, who made good use of the Farnese manuscript at Naples. He also added a commentary. It remained dominant for 2 centuries. Fulvius added in this edition suggestions concerning Greek material. J.J. Scaliger, 1540-1609, produced a highly acclaimed edition in 1575. He was praised for having successfully completed the gaps and damaged passages of the Farnese manuscript. Grafton says about this edition that 'fluency in conjecture and attention to detail could hardly be raised to a higher level'. (A. Grafton. Joseph Scaliger, a study in the history of classical scholarship, Oxf. 1983, vol. 1, p. 134/160) This edition of 1584 repeats Scaliger's of 1575. The text of Agustin is also printed, followed by 75 p. with his annotations, and followed by a 216 p. commentary by Scaliger; at the end we find the notes of Ursinus) (Collation: +6, *8, a-x8, A-V8, X2, 2A-2E8, 2F2) (Photographs on request)
