Two small wormholes in the leather at the foot of the spine, and some damage to the lower edge of lower board for ca. one cm. Small hole in the leather of rear cover. On the blank upper margin of the frontispiece an ownership entry) (Note: The Dutch classical scholar of Flemish origin Daniel Heinsius, 1580-1655, who enjoyed international fame as an editor of classical texts, theorist of literary criticism, historian and neolatin poet, was professor of Poetics at the University of Leiden since 1603, extraordinarius Greek since 1605. After the death of J.J. Scaliger, to whose inner circle he belonged, he held the chair of Greek, from 1609 till 1647. He is best known for his edition of Aristotle's treatise on poetry (1611), which he studied in connection with the 'Ars Poetica' of Horace. This edition is 'the only considerable contribution to the criticism and eludication of the work that was ever produced in the Netherlands. (...) In his pamphlet 'De tragoediae Constitutione', published in the same year (1611), he deals with all the essential points in Aristotle's treatise, giving proof that he has thoroughly imbibed the author's spirit. (...) It was through this work that he became a centre of Aristotelian influence in Holland. His influence extended, in France, to Chaplain, and Balzac, to Racine and Corneille; in Germany to Opitz; and in England to Ben Jonson'. (J.E. Sandys, 'A history of classical scholarship, N.Y., 1964, vol. 2, p. 314) Heinsius was a representative of the great age of Neo-Latin in the Low Countries, which encompasses the 16th century, and a good part of the 17th century. Here the Anacreontic-Petrarcan love poetry in Latin was kept alive. (J. IJsewijn, 'Companion to Neo-Latin studies', vol. 1, Leuven 1990, p. 154) This volume of Heinsius' poetry, which was, as the text of the frontispiece tell us, edited by his son Nicolaus Heinsius, opens with early work, the three books of Sylvae, followed by Hipponax, an Ode to Molinus, 3 books of Elegiae, and the Monobiblos. Then comes the 'Herodes Infanticida, tragoedia', followed by Heinsius' last long Latin poem 'De contemptu mortis', a didactic poem in 4 books, wherein arguments, Platonic, Stoic and Christian, are set forth which explain why man should not fear death. Then Heinsius' Epigrams and occasional poetry, the 'Elegiarum iuvenilium libri'. At the end we find Heinsius' literary tour de force, his Greek poems, which were inspired by Theocritus and the Anthologia Graeca. It opens with 'Peplus' (Gown), a series of epigrams which Heinsius composed on Greek authors and philosophers. This part is followed by occasional poetry in Greek which Heinsius wrote for his contemporaries, like Casaubon, and by a section with Heinsius' Latin translations of Greek poetry. The collection closes with the 'Liber adoptivus', which contains occasional poetry addressed to Heinsius by J.J. Scaliger, J. Dousa, H. Grotius et alii. This edition of 1649 is a reissue of an edition of the collected greek and latin poetry of Heinsius, which was published by Heger in Leiden in 1640) (Provenance: 'Ex libris 'Ant. La Bout, 1660', or 'Ant. LaBout') (Collation: *6, A- D12, 2E-2F6 (leaves 2F5 & 2F6 blank)) (Photographs on request) ‎

Overlapping vellum 13 cm (Ref: STCN ppn 832983446; USTC 1028202; Willems 123; Rahir 99; Berghman 1329 Graesse 6/1, 273/274; Not in Smitskamp's 'The Scaliger Collection', but it does figure in its list of Scaliger editions, p. 120) (Details: 5 thongs laced through the joints. Manuscript title on the back. The first Elzevier edition in small format) (Condition: Vellum age-toned and soiled. Front hinge cracking. Front flyleaf worn and inscribed. Title dustsoiled, and with 2 small ownership entries. Some old marginal notes, occasional ink underlinings) (Note: The French protestant classical scholar J.J. Scaliger, 1540-1609, was a genius, but was also vain and sharp tongued. Consequently he had many enemies. His greatest enemies were among members of the catholic Jesuit order. Scaliger had turned his back on France, and had come in 1592 to Leiden at the request of the authorities of that city and the local University, who desired nothing more than his inspiring presence. There he gathered around him a group of brilliant young man, among whom H. Grotius. In 1599 young Daniel Heinsius, 1580-1655, entered the group, and became 'because of his reputedly attractive personality and remarkable gifts' Scaliger's favorite student. (P.R. Sellin, Daniel Heinsius and Stuart England', Leiden etc., 1968, p. 14) Heinsius rapidly made a name as classical scholar and neolatin poet. In 1609 Scaliger died in his arms. One of Scaliger's foulest adversaries was a former friend, Gaspar Schoppe, or in Latin Scioppius, 1576-1649, who converted to catholicism. He distinguished himself by the virulence of his writings against the Protestants, and he even wanted to incite a war against these heretics. In 1607 this man published a vicious attack upon Scaliger with his 'Scaliger hypololymaeus', in English 'Suppositious Scaliger', or rather 'Basterd Scaliger'. 'Dem tobensten Schimpfen wird hier freier Lauf gelassen; Gifte jeder Art von Verunglimpfung und Verdächtigung werden zusammen gebraut'. (J. Bernays, 'Joseph Justus Scaliger', Berlin, 1855, p. 85) Scioppius wanted to throw discredit on Scaliger, and weaken his authority, so he attacked him at his weakest spot, his supposed noble birth. Scaliger had been raised in the belief that he was a descendent of the royal family Della Scala of Verona, and he let no opportunity pass to mention the splendour of his ancestry. The validity of his pretentions were however dubious. The challenge of Scioppius was accepted by the favourite pupil of Scaliger, Daniel Heinsius, who published one year later, in 1608, anonymously in defence of his master the 'Satirae duae, Hercules tuam fidem, sive Munsterus Hypobolimaeus, et Virgula divina', two mordant Menippean satires that covered Scioppius, who occasionally signed his letters off as 'G.S. a Munster' (hence Munsterus), with much abuse. As Scioppius himself had done with Scaliger, Heinsius smears with the mud of satire his scholarship, his name, the respectability of his parents, and his conversion to catholicism. In the following mockery 'Virgula Divina, sive Lucretii Vespillonis apotheosis', inspired by Seneca's Apocolocyntosis, Heinsius focusses on the humble origins of Scioppius, himself, he tells, a supposititious child. His 'father', called by Heinsius Vespillo, or corpse-bearer/gravedigger (See Martial I,47,1), is sentenced to become assistant of Charon. Scaliger has often admitted in his letters that Heinsius was the author of the satires, and the editor of the book, which opens with a preface dedicated to Scaliger, and a section of Scioppius praise of Scaliger from the time when he was still a friend and a protestant, then a support letter of the French scholar and friend of Scaliger, Isaac Casaubon. Next follow both satires of Heinsius, followed by an attack on Scioppius and his ancestry in a mock-biography: 'Vita et parentes Gasp. Schoppii, a Germano quodam contubernali eius conscripta', composed by Scaliger himself or by Ianus Rutgerus, a friend of Heinsius, and a student of Scaliger. The great man himself contributed, using the initials of his student Rutgerus (auctore I.R. Batavo, Iuris studioso) also to this own defence, a 'accurata Burdonum Fabulae confutatio', 'a precise refutation of the Burdonese story', with the help of charters and documents which should prove his noble origin. Nevertheless, the defence of Heinsius and Scaliger made 'einen sehr kühlen Eindruck auch auf die nähreren Freunde Scaligers'. (Bernays, p. 85). Few wanted to side with him on this matter; the answer of Scaliger was deemed not satisfactory. Scioppius' reputation was damaged too. Heinsius had portrayed him as a parasite and as 'Monster of Münster', labels which he never got rid of. A revised second edition of the 'Satirae duae' was published in the same year in Leiden by Johannes Patius, who had also published the first edition. 1609 he already produced his 4th edition. An eludicating survey of the hard to fathom content of both satires can be found in chapter 5 of 'Menippean Satire and the Republic of Letters, 1581-1655', of A. R. de Smet, Geneva, 1996. 'Hercules tuam fidem' is the title of Varro's 39th Menippean satire) (Provenance: On the title: 'Bern. à Mallinckroth', and also 'Sum J. Niefert'.

‎12mo. (XII),368 p. 19th century calf 13.5 cm 'De tragoediae constitutione' established the reputation of Heinsius as an Aristotelian literary critic (Ref: Willems 554; Berghman 964; Rahir 548; Brunet 3,83; Graesse 3,232; Ebert 9377) (Details: Back ruled gilt, with a letterpiece. Boards with blind stamped borders & gilt dentelles on the turn-overs. Marbled endpapers. Elsevier's woodcut printer's mark on the title, featuring an old man who stands in the shade of a vine-entwined elmtree, symbolising the symbiotic relationship between scholar and publisher. The motto is: 'Non solus'. The first part of the book consists of the 'De tragoediae constitutione', the pages 221-321 contain Aristotle's Poetics, edited and translated into Latin by Daniel Heinsius, the pages 322-368 are filled with Heinsius' notes on that text) (Condition: Binding used, and worn at the extremities. Head of the spine gone for 1 cm, foot of the spine chafed. Joint cracked, but strong. Small bookplate on the front pastedown. Paper yellowing) (Note: 'De tragoediae constitutione' established the reputation of the Dutch classical scholar of Flemish origin Daniel Heinsius, 1580-1655, as an Aristotelian critic of reknown. He enjoyed also 'international fame as an editor of classical texts, theorist of literary criticism, historian and neolatin poet, was professor of Poetics at the University of Leiden since 1603, extraordinarius Greek since 1605. After the death of J.J. Scaliger, to whose inner circle he belonged, he held the chair of Greek, from 1609 till 1647. He is best known for his edition of Aristotle's treatise on poetry, (...) which he studied in connection with the 'Ars Poetica' of Horace. This edition is 'the only considerable contribution to the criticism and eludication of the work that was ever produced in the Netherlands. (...)

It was through this work that he became a centre of Aristotelian influence in Holland. His influence extended, in France, to Chaplain, and Balzac, to Racine and Corneille; in Germany to Opitz; and in England to Ben Jonson (...)'. (J.E. Sandys, 'A history of classical scholarship, N.Y., 1964, vol. 2, p. 314) Heinsius' edition and Latin translation of Aristotle's 'De poetica liber' was first published by Elsevier in 1610, a year later this was repeated, and expanded with 'De tragoediae constitutione' (1611). Heinsius produced of both works a second and augmented edition, published by Elzevier in 1643. Heinsius' treatise 'De tragoediae constitutione' addresses itself explicitly to the task of presenting a simple and intelligible exposition of tragedy and the tragic plot 'ex mente atque opinione Aristotelis'. Accordingly, the work is based on the Aristotelian definition of tragedy, which is incorporated verbatim in the opening of Heinsius' discussion, and Aristotle's qualitative parts of tragedy (fabula, mores, sententiae, dictio, melodia and apparatus) provide the topics around which the argument is built up. Heinsius' treatise has consequently sometimes been viewed as rendering the 'milk of the Aristotelian word' more or less unwatered'. (P.R. Selin, 'Daniel Heinsius and Stuart England', Leiden/Oxford, 1968, p. 124/25) Nevertheless, 'Heinsius moves away from the Aristotelian concern with the essence of an artistic product to the search for appropriate means of securing what are basically rhetorical effects, ultimately directed to the ethical benefit of the audience'. (Idem p. 145) The treatise did not contribute completely fresh ideas or methods to the Renaissance tradition of the poetic theory. Heinsius' importance lies in the pruning away of complex and elaborate rhetorical Renaissance approaches) (Provenance: Bookplate, probably beginning 20th century: 'Ex libris Emile Brugnon') (Collation: *6, A12-P12, Q4) (Photographs on request) ‎

Paper yellowing) (Note: The Dutch classical scholar of Flemish origin Daniel Heinsius, 1580-1655, who enjoyed international fame as an editor of classical texts, theorist of literary criticism, historian and neolatin poet, was professor of Poetics at the University of Leiden since 1603, and 'extraordinarius' Greek since 1605. After the death of J.J. Scaliger, to whose inner circle he belonged, he held the chair of Greek, from 1609 till 1647. He is best known for his edition of Aristotle's treatise on poetry (1611), which he studied in connexion with the 'Ars Poetica' of Horace. This edition is 'the only considerable contribution to the criticism and elucidation of the work that was ever produced in the Netherlands. (...) In his pamphlet 'De tragoediae Constitutione', published in the same year (1611), he deals with all the essential points in Aristotle's treatise, giving proof that he has thoroughly imbibed the author's spirit. (...) It was through this work that he became a centre of Aristotelian influence in Holland.' (J.E. Sandys, 'A history of classical scholarship, N.Y., 1964, vol. 2, p. 314) Heinsius was an important representative of the great age of Neo-Latin in the Low Countries. The outline of 'De contemptu mortis', a didactic poem in 4 books, is simple: we should not be afraid of death for two reasons, the soul is immortal, and life on earth is full of misery. Platonic, Neoplatonic, Stoic and Christian arguments are set forth which explain why man should not fear death. The form of 'De contemptu' is that of Vergil's Georgica, 4 books of ca. 600 verses. Heinsius confesses his debt to Vergil in the opening lines of his poem, which form a variation of the first verses of the Georgica. The structure of the poem, its style and language are also Vergilian, including the similes. A lucretian element is Heinsius' objective to free humanity, like Lucretius did, from fear of death, but the tenor of the poem is however antilucretian. Heinsius states that the soul doesnot desintegrate after death, but that it continues its existence. Heinsius warns explicitly against epicurism, which is, he thinks, an easy, but misleading philosophy. In book 2 Heinsius answers Lucretius with his own epic catalogue of inspiring famous men. For Lucretius Epicurus was the culmination point, for Heinsius it is the French genius Josephus Justus Scaliger, his much admired master. An important source of inspiration for Heinsius was also the didactic poem 'De animorum immortalitate' of the Italian Aonio Paleario, published in 1535, which is also antilucretian. (Source for 'De contemptu': 'Daniel Heinsius, De verachting van de dood, De contemptu mortis', Vertaling door J. Bloemendaal en W. Steenbeek, Amst., Bert Bakker, 2005, p. 18/23) In the same year 1621 Elsevier published this didactic poem as part of Heinsius' 'Poematum editio nova', but this time in a smaller octavo format. He sold the octavo edition also separately) (Provenance: Round armorial stamp of 'Biblioth. Publ. Reg. Stuttgart'. Small, faint oval stamp on the front pastedown: 'Gerschel's Antiquariat, Stuttgart'. The Kingdom of Württemberg existed in Germany from 1805 to 1918. The kingdom was a continuation of the Duchy of Württemberg, which existed from 1495 to 1805.

Boards with blind double fillet borders. Elsevier's woodcut printer's mark on the title of both volumes, depicting an old man standing in the shade of a vine-entwined elmtree, symbolising the symbiotic relationship between scholar and publisher.

Old ownership entry on the front pastedown) (Note: The Dutch classical scholar of Flemish origin Daniel Heinsius, 1580-1655, who enjoyed an international reputation as an editor of classical texts, theorist of literary criticism, historian and neolatin poet, was professor of Poetics at the University of Leiden since 1603, extraordinarius Greek since 1605. After the death of J.J. Scaliger, to whose inner circle he belonged, he held the chair of Greek, from 1609 till 1647. His activities have been obscured to later generations by the very bulk and variety of his activities. He is still remembered for his neolatin poetry, and for his edition of Aristotle's treatise on poetry (1611), which he studied in connexion with the 'Ars Poetica' of Horace. This edition is 'the only considerable contribution to the criticism and eludication of the work that was ever produced in the Netherlands. (...) In his pamphlet 'De tragoediae Constitutione', published in the same year (1611), he deals with all the essential points in Aristotle's treatise, giving proof that he has thoroughly imbibed the author's spirit'. (J.E. Sandys, 'A history of classical scholarship, N.Y., 1964, vol. 2, p. 314) Heinsius was an inspiring teacher and a talented speaker. 'His courses in the University were so impressive that his colleagues attended his lectures, (...). As an ornament in which the University took especial pride, his eloquence graced many public functions. Heinsius composed not only the funeral orations for Philip Cluverius, and for Reinerus Bontius, Professor of Medicin, in 1623, but delivered on 19 September 1625 a 'stupenda oratio', on the death of Prince Maurice, for which he received an award of 200 guilders'. (Sellin, P.R., 'Daniel Heinsius and Stuart England', Leiden etc., 1968, p. 36) The first edition of collected orations, 12 of them, was published in 1612. The second augmented edition came in 1615. Demand for more orations arose, and 1620 saw another augmented edition, augmented further in 1627 (this edition). This edition naturally opens with this stupendous oration on the death of Prince Maurice, followed of course by that other oratorical firework, his funeral speech for his beloved master, the French scholar Joseph Justus Scaliger, a still glowing jewel of the University, who died in Leiden in 1609. At the end have been added 27 pages with letters and prefaces that Heinsius wrote for editions of others. Still more augmented editions of the 'Orationes' were published in 1642, 1652 and 1657) (Provenance: Winterthur provenance? On the front pastedown in faint ink: 'And. Bidermanni'. Googling for 'Andr? Bidermann', we found a Gymnasium teacher in Winterthur, born in 1776, appointed in 1819. There were several hits placing a Andr. Bidermann in the Canton Zürich, Winterthur. More indications in that direction, when we searched for 'Andreas Bidermann') (Collation: *8, A-2S8, 2T4; we couldnot find out whether our copy has the cancels of p. 277/8 and 419/20, which Willems mentions, or not) (Photographs on request) ‎

A full page engraving of the funerary monument erected by the University and the City Council of Leiden for Scaliger in the 'Vrouwekerk', the local Walloon church, where he used to attend divine service; it is a work of the famous Dutch architect Hendrik de Keyser. On the monument, now in the Pieterskerk, is an honorary inscription, probably by Daniel Heisius, in which Scaliger is proudly remembered as 'Principum Veronensium nepotis', offspring of the princes of Verona. After this follow 3 plates concerning the princely claims of Scaliger; one of them is folding. They depict 3 tombs of Veronese Scaligers, the 'Tomb of Cangrande I', the founder of the Scaliger dynasty, who died 1329, the 'Tomb of Cansignorio della Scala', and the 'Tomb of Mastino II'. Ad 2: Elsevier's first printer's mark, depicting an eagle that holds a bundle of 7 arrows in its beak, the bird is surrounded by the motto: 'A. 1595, Concordia Res Parvae Crescunt'; the seven arrows represent the union of the Seven Provinces of the Dutch Republic; since its foundation in 1588 the motto of the Seven United Provinces was 'Concordia Res Parvae Crescunt', in Dutch 'Eendracht maakt macht'. The saying was coined by the Roman historian Sallust. ('Bellum Jugurthinum', caput 10)) (Condition: Vellum age-tanned, slightly soiled and spotted. Short title in ink on the back. Name on the first title. Small stamp on the 2nd title. Paper yellowing) (Note: The place of Josephus Justus Scaliger, 1549-1609, in the history of classical scholarship is royal. His preeminence is summarized masterly in the text of the dustjacket of the intellectual biography of Anthony Grafton 'Joseph Scaliger, A study in the history of classical scholarship', Oxford, 1983/93. 'In an age of great classical scholars, Joseph Scaliger was the greatest. His early work as an editor of Latin texts won the attention of the learned throughout Europe and contained technical innovations that remain of interest. His later work as the founder of the discipline of historical chronology involved him in the superhuman task of trying to reconstruct every sophisticated calender and to date every significant event in human history. Along the way he emended hundreds of corrupt passages in classical texts, collated scores of manuscripts, quarrelled with dozens of his rivals, failed humiliatingly (...) to prove that he was descended from the della Scala of Verona - and dashed off in his spare time works that would remain standard for centuries, like Gruter's Corpus of inscriptions, the publication of which Scaliger oversaw. His work was perhaps most important in that it showed that the Bible and the events it recorded could not be understood except in the light of the writings of the pagans and the methods of classical scholarship'. In 1593 Scaliger filled the vacant place left by Justus Lipsius at the young the University of Leiden. 'His disinclination to lecture was duly respected; all that the authorities at Leyden desired was his living and inspiring presence in that seat of Protestant learning'. (Sandys 2/202) On this honorary post he produced works that made him immortal, and lend lustre to Leyden and its University. Scaliger spent the last 16 years of his life in Leiden as the jewel of the University. There he enjoyed also the friendship of a great number of pupils and admirers. To his circle belonged H. Grotius, D. Heinsius, his successor the Dousae, and in France Du Thou and Casaubon. Scaliger died in the arms of his favourite pupil and closest friend Daniel Heinsius, who wrote a funerary oration for him. Scaliger had inherited from his father Julius Caesar Scaliger a profound belief in his descent from the noble Veronese family Della Scala. Scaliger tried to prove his princely descent, but clearly failed according to his biographer Anthony Grafton. This title of 1609 contains the funerary oration of Heinsius, and secondly the speech he held on the occasion of the inauguration in the 'Vrouwekerk' of the funerary monument of Scaliger. At the beginning of the second speech we find the plate with the 'editio princeps' of the text of the epitaph. After the speech of the inauguration of the monument, follow 'Manes Scaligeri', a series of poems and epitaphs, some of them in ancient Greek. The first one is called 'Aphotheosis'. At the end we find 'Epicedia diversorum', poetic epitaphs by H. Grotius and other leading Dutch scholars. (p. 73-91). At the end there are 'Iudicia de Iosepho Scaligero ex infinitis pauca', the 'legatum' of Scaliger's books to the University library of Leiden, and a portrait of J.C. Scaliger. (p. 92-100) The added funerary oration of 24 pages is the work of the erudite Flemish humanist and cosmopolitan scholar Dominicus Baudius, colleague and friend of Scaliger, and one of the best Neolatin epistolary talents of his time. In 1603 he was appointed 'Professor Eloquentiae' (of Latin) at the University of Leiden) (Provenance: On the front flyleaf the name of 'M. Tijdeman'. Mr. Meindert Tydeman, 1741-1825, was from 1811 librarian of the University Library of Leyden, and in 1814 he was appointed professor of philosophy. Inscription on the title: 'Sum J. Didaci Nieuhoff'. We found only one Didacus Nieuhoff. His name occurs on a baptismal certificate, 's-Hertogenbosch, 1695) The name on the title page of Baudius' speech is illegible. He was 'Pfarrer in B, Freiburg i. Br.' and lived in the 'Joh. von Weerthstr. 4') (Collation: Ad 1: *4 (including full page portrait of J.J. Scaliger), A-L4, M6 (Full page portrait of J.C.

Le roman ne fut réimprimé qu'en 1801 sous un autre titre. Pages de titre en rouge et noir. Reliures en plein veau brun granité d'époque. Dos à nerfs ornés. Pièces de titre en maroquin rouge et de tomaison en maroquin havane. Manque en tête et au mors supérieur en tête du tome II. 5 coins émoussés. Un léger accroc au dernier caisson en queue du tome II. Trace de mouillure au coin droit haut de plusieurs feuillets en début du tome I. Bon exemplaire. Roman picaresque qui raconte les vicissitudes de l'existence d'un gueux au service de plusieurs maîtres, bourgeois et nobles. La satire n'est jamais loin et l'humour souvent grivois, dressant le portrait mordant de la société du temps. Les aventures rocambolesque du personnage se déroulent entre la Hollande et principalement la France. L'auteur semble avoir lu les romans picaresques espagnols et français du XVIIe, on y reconnaît même l'influence du Don Quichotte dans le fait que le héros ne connaît l'amour et la bravoure qu'au travers de romans de chevalerie, ce qui le conduit à des situations cocasses. Au fur et à mesure que se déroule le roman, les événements s'enchevêtrent et les personnages réapparaissent, créant ainsi un fil narratif. Nicolas Heinsius est le fils d'une illustre lignée de littérateurs, Nicolas heinsius, son père, et Daniel Heinsius, son grand-père. Son roman mérite amplement d'être redécouvert et de prendre place parmi les fleurons de la littérature picaresque. - Photographies et détails sur www.Edition-Originale.com -‎

‎Leyde, 25 octobre 1615; in-4, vélin ivoire moderne 6 ff., n.ch., 65 pp., 1 p. n.ch. EDITION ORIGINALE de ce grand poème épique hollandais qui célèbre les fastes du dieu de la vigne et retrace les hauts faits de sa vie depuis le jour où il sortit de la cuisse de Jupiter jusqu'à son triomphe. La biographie du grand humaniste Daniel Heinsius ( né à Gand en 1580 et mort à Leyde en 1665) est trop connue pour que nous entrions dans son détail ici. Rappelons simplement que si, dans le monde savant, il passait pour un des plus grands poètes néo-latins de son temps, il aurait également pu briguer les lauriers des Muses flamandes. S'il s'était adonné à la poésie de sa langue nationale, il est probable que ses œuvres figureraient en bonne place à côté de celles de Cats, Vondel et autres Hoofft. Un seul recueil a paru, publié en 1516 par les soins de Pierre Scriverius, sous le titre de Nederduytsche poemata. L'hymne de Bacchus que nous proposons ici en fait partie. C'est la deuxième section du recueil, parue avec une pagination spéciale et un avant-propos de Heinsius adressé à Scriverius. Le volume est orné de 14 superbes illustrations sur cuivre de Simon de PASSE et Cri LE BLON d'après les dessins de J. de GHEYN: naissance de Bacchus, son enfance dans les vignes parmi les satyres, cortèges bachiques, ses amours, ses combats, scènes de beuveries flamandes, etc. Heinsius semble avoir eu une tendresse particulière pour le dieu du vin car, déjà en 1610, il donnait une dissertation sur les Dionysiaques du grand poète grec de la décadence, Nonnos. Il est d'ailleurs probable qu'il ait tiré son hymne de Bacchus de cette colossale épopée. Landwehr Emblem and fable books in the Low countries 292.- Oberlé 1032.

‎Première édition collective elzévirienne, portant la marque du solitaire. Savant poète néerlandais disciple de Scaliger, Daniel Heinsius fut bibliothécaire de l'Académie de Leyde. La première partie du recueil contient des pièces en édition originale et de nombreux poèmes en grec. La seconde partie est la copie conforme de l'édition originale parue la même année séparément dans un format in-4. Elle possède un titre en rouge et noir. Le Mépris de la Mort est la meilleure production poétique de Daniel Heinsius ; il y expose avec talent la doctrine de Platon. Selon Brunet, « ce poème a joui en son temps d'une très grande vogue ». Portrait d'Homère gravé sur cuivre dans un médaillon.- Willems, 186.
