Historiae Philippicae. Ex recensione Joannis Georgii Graevii. (libri XLIV). Cum ejusdem Castigationibus. His accedunt integrae notae Jacobi Bongarsii, Francisci Modii, Matthiae Bernecceri, Isaaci Vossii, Tanaquilli Fabri, Joannis Vorstii, & Joannis Schefferi.
Lugduni Batavorum (Leiden), apud Jacobum Hackium (Haak), 1683, in-8vo, 32 leaves incl. frontispiece-title (engr. by G. van Gouwen) and title with printer's device + 656 p. + 61 leaves, light browning in places, light waterstain in last index leaves (mainly marginal), remains of hw. former owner's label on front pastedown, front endpaper with upper corner cut off and hw. exlibris, overlapping vellum binding, gilt title on spine, sprinkled edges. Fine copy.
Edition with the notes of many commentators and considered one of the better scholarly texts. Justinus, Roman historian, probably lived during the age of the Antonines. His «Historiarum Philippicarum» libri XLIV is a collection of the most important and interesting passages from the voluminous «Historiae Piilippicae et totius mundi origines et terrae situs»,written in the time of Augustus by Pompeius Trogus. The work of Trogus is lost; but the prologi or arguments of the text are preserved by Pliny and other writers. Although the main theme of Trogus was the rise and history of the Macedonian monarchy, Justin yet permitted himself considerable freedom of digression, and thus produced a capricious anthology instead of a regular epitome of the work. As it stands, however, the history contains much valuable information. The style, though far from perfect, is clear and occasionally elegant. The book was much used in the middle ages, when the author was sometimes confounded with lustin Martyr. Schweiger I/491. Image disp.
