Claudius Claudianus, beter bekend als Claudianus, was een Latijnse dichter die leefde van ongeveer 370 tot 404 AD. Hij werd geboren in Alexandrië, Egypte, en sprak Grieks met een sterke kennis van de Latijnse literatuur. Hij staat bekend als een van de laatste grote dichters van het heidense Rome en diende als hofdichter tijdens het bewind van keizer Honorius in Milaan, nauw verbonden met de generaal Stilicho.

Born in Alexandria, Egypt, he was a Greek speaker with a strong knowledge of Latin literature. He is renowned as one of the last major poets of pagan Rome and served as a court poet during the reign of Emperor Honorius in Milan, closely associated with the general Stilicho. .

Vellum 21 cm (Ref: VD17 3:006469N; Schweiger 2,283; Dibdin 1,470: 'Barthius commentary is not only superior to every work which preceded it, but has never been surpassed by any similar production'; Moss 1,376/7: 'rare, and held in considerable estimation'; Brunet 2,88; Ebert 4756; Graesse 2,194; Fabricius/Ernesti 3,201) (Details: 5 thongs laced through both joints. Frontispiece by A. Aubry, depicting the Roman emperor Theodosius the Great and his 'Magister Militum' Stilicho, who guards 2 little boys, Honorius and Arcadius. Title in red and black. Woodcut printer's mark on the title, motto: 'Superata tellus sidera domat'. Woodcut initials and headpieces) (Condition: Vellum soiled, and loosening from fore edge of both boards. Upper board slightly curved. Front endpapers worn. Old inscription and name on the front flyleaf. Name below the frontispiece. Name and small stamp on the title. Stain in the upper margin of frontispiece and title leaf) (Note: 1650 was a lucky year for the last important Roman poet Claudius Claudianus (ca. 400). In the same year as Barthius the Dutch scholar Nicolaas Heinsius published an edition of the works of Claudian. Claudianus 'war ein sehr fruchtbarer, temperamentvoller Dichter und bietet reichen historischen Stoff in rhetorischem Stil'. (Buchwald, Tusculum-Lexikon, 3rd ed. p. 171/2) As 'tribunus et notarius' he acted as court poet for the emperor Theodosius, his general Stilicho, and the emperor's sons Honorius and Arcadius. In 400 he was honoured with a bronze statue on the Forum Trajanum in Rome. His work was widely read in the Middle Ages. The humanists also placed him on the center stage. In the beginning of the 20th century philologist lost interest, but since the rise of interest in late antiquity in the sixties, he is again recognized as one of the great Roman poets. (NP., s.v. Claudianus). Caspar von Barth, or Barthius, 1587-1658, was a child prodigy. He read a lot during his lifetime, but seems to have known little. His specialty seems to have been hoarding material. In his youth, in 1612, he published his first edition of Claudian. He republished it, with many corrections and additions in 1650. The commentary is, says Schweiger, 'überladen'. The very weight of this book, almost 2 kilo's, proves that he is right. For some Barthius was a charlatan, for others a 'divinum ingenium'. Barthius 'war gelehrt, hatte viel gelesen und so auch in seinen Schriften ausgespeichert, aber Ordnung, Klarheit und Schärfe lässt sich vermissen', is the final judgment in ADB. (Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie 2, p. 101/2) This edition shows however enough glimpses of genius to deserve the praise most bibliographers assigned to him) (Provenance: On the front flyleaf the name of Lennart Håkanson, professor of Latin Literature at the Univ. of Uppsala, 1980-1987. 2 other names seem to point to Denmark. Under the frontispiece in old ink: 'Axelii Julii Iv. F. Nobilis Dani Dno de Wolstorp etc. Anno 1657'. We found on the internet the following provenance, dated 1662, of one 'Axelius Julius Ivari Filius Dus de Wolstorp [?] hujus Libri possessor [?]', in an edition of 'De anulis antiquis' of 1654. This makes: 'Axelii Julii Ivari Filii Nobilis Dani Domino de Wolstorp'. The 'Domino' is awkward. In faint ink in the right margin of the frontispiece and on the title: 'J. Mundelstrup'. We found the following title, a poem in Latin and Danish, on the internet of one J. Mundelstrup: 'a Augustiss. Friderico Qvarto, Daniæ ... regi, gloriosissimam pacem regnis Ao. 1720 vindicatam gratulabatur'. A small round stamp on in left lower corner of the title: 'A.St.B.')

Back ruled gilt, and with a black shield in the 'second' and 'fourth compartment'. Endpapers and edges marbled) (Condition: Vellum age-tanned and slightly soiled. The edges of the shields on the back damaged. The boards of volume 1 are slightly outstanding, volume 2 more so. Foxed, paper somewhat browning) (Note: The Roman poet Claudius Claudianus, ca. 400 AD, 'war ein sehr fruchtbarer, temperamentvoller Dichter und bietet reichen historischen Stoff in rhetorischem Stil'. (Buchwald, Tusculum-Lexikon, 3rd ed. p. 171/172) As 'tribunus et notarius' he acted as court poet, eulogizing the emperor Theodosius, his general Stilicho, and the emperor's sons Honorius and Arcadius. In 400 he was honoured with a bronze statue on the Forum Trajanum in Rome, and a rich bride selected for him by Stilicho's wife. He is the last representative of the classical tradition of Latin poetry. 'In diction and technique he bears comparison with the best Silver Age work, but his considerable gifts of invective, description and epigram are offsett by a deplorable tendency of over-elaboration. His writings are a useful (...) historical source for his period'. (OCD 2nd ed. p. 245) Claudianus died ca. 404. His work was widely read in the Middle Ages. The humanists also placed him on the center stage. In the beginning of the 20th century philologist lost interest, but since the rise of interest in late antiquity in the sixties, he is again recognized as one of the great Roman poets. This edition of Claudian of the German classical scholar Johann Matthias Gesner, 1691-1761, gives evidence of sound scholarship, but, just like his many other editions of ancient authors of Gesner, the edition does never break new ground. It just is a testimony of solid current knowledge. Textual critiscism was not Gesner's strongest point. His notes are excellent and learned, well calculated to illustrate the poet. The edition contains erudite prolegomena, a literary history of Claudianus, 'variae lectiones', and a useful account of editions. Gesner earned lasting fame with his epoch-making lexicographic work, especially with his revised edition of the 'Dictionarum, seu Latinae linguae thesaurus' of Robertus Stephanus (London 1734). Wilamowitz calls Gesner the 'Praeceptor Germaniae', 'denn er hat die Leipziger Thomasschule zu einer Musteranstalt gemacht, (...) und ihm bleibt der Ruhm, das erste philologisches Seminar gegrundet zu haben'.

Name on front flyleaf) (Note: This is the second edition of the works of the Roman poet Claudius Claudianus produced by Nicolaas Heinsius, 1620-1681, who was the only son of Daniel Heinsius. It was first published in 1650. Nicolaas never held any academic post. Let us see what Sandys tells about this genius: 'His practice in versification, his wide reading in classical and post-classical Latin, and his knowledge of Greek literature made him an accomplished scholar. As a textual critic he had acquired an extensive knowledge of various readings by his study of MSS'. And: 'In making his selection from the vast mass of variants, he was guided by a fine taste and a sound judgement acquired by long experience'. And: 'His editions of the Latin poets laid the foundation of the textual criticism of those authors, and he has thus obtained the title of 'sopitator poetarum Latinorum.' (Sandys 2,323/327). Heinsius consulted, he says in the praefatio, for his first edition some 28 manuscripts, 'viginti enim & octo fere ad manum fuerunt, ut vides'. Among these were 2 from the University Library of Leiden, and 2 from the Bodleian. Also 2 that were in the possession of the successor of Plantin, the publisher Balthasar Moretus, manuscripts that were originally used for the Plantin edition of Claudian by Pulman. (Antwerp, 1571) Heinsius rebukes Pulman for having neglected one of these, which he calls 'insignis' and 'probus'. Pulman used it sluggishly, 'oscitanter'. Heinsius consulted also 3 manuscripts which the French librarian and collector of manuscripts Alexander Petavius (Petau) had send him, one of the Royal Library, one of his own, and one owned by J.A. de Thou (Thuanus). After his edition of 1650 Heinsius continued to consult during his diplomatic travels through Europe 10 'bis quini' other excellent manuscripts containing texts of Claudian. Heinsius gives in the new praefatio to this second edition, written 14 years after the first edition, 'ante annos hosce plus minus quatuordenos' a dazzling account of the books and manuscripts he consulted for the new edition. We also get a glimpse of the huge network of scholarly friends of which Heisius was a member. This second edition was published, so the title says, by Cornelis Schrevelius, who took his doctoral degree in Paris as a Doctor of Medicine in 1627. Hence C.S.M.D., that is Cornelis Schrevelius Medicus Doctor. He taught classics at the Schola Latina at Leiden, where he had been raised himself. In 1642 he succeeded his father, Theodorus Schrevelius, as the rector (Moderator) of the school. He died in 1664, a few days after having completed this edition of Claudian. He raised at least 11 kids, and fell victim to the plague. (A.M. Coebergh van den Braak, Meer dan zes eeuwen Leids Gymnasium, Leiden, 1988, p. 47/55); includes also his portrait). The involvement of Schrevelius in publishing a new edition of Claudian was limited to the necessary, but ungrateful task of the beast of burden. He did, so the 'typographus' (who must be Daniel Elzevier) tells us in his short address to the reader, all that is necessary for a better understanding of Claudian, producing excerpts from the commentaries and editions of the best scholars) (Provenance: An engraved armorial bookplate on upper pastedown of one 'Joshua Ruddock': a crown, with 3 strawberry leaves on it, and a 'pearl' in the center of the leaves, on top, an eagle with spread wings.

Apparently a very rare edition of this Claudian text entirely based upon the Plantin Press edition of 1571 ( Voet 993 ). The Plantin edition has a dedication letter to Cornelio Pruenen dated 27 december 1570. Our Geneva edition reprinted also the dedication letter but unscrupulously changed the letter's date to April 6th 1604; a fraudulent update with 34 years. When in 1607 Johannes Moretus , son-in-law of Christopher Plantin , issued a new edition of this text, he did not change the letter's date. It remained 27 december 1570. ( see STVC 6830309).

Première édition très rare, imprimée à La Flèche, des oeuvres du poète latin Claudien établie par l'humaniste écossais Thomas Dempster. Elle est suive de ses annotations, imprimées à la suite avec une nouvelle page de titre. On sait qu'Heinsius fit usage de ces notes pour sa grande édition de Claudien de 1650. "Edition de la plus grande rareté " d'après Graesse. Jacques Rezé s'était installé à La Flèche en 1604 pour être l'imprimeur des Jésuites qui venaient d'y fonder le collège. Cette impression était vraisemblablement à l'usage des élèves du collège. Elie de Joncourt souligne déjà en 1760 "qu'il est singulier que cette édition soit si rare".
