Old ink inscription on the title reading: 'The Society of Clerks to the Signet') (Note: The speeches of the Athenian orators Lysias (c. 459-380 B.C.) and Isocrates (436-338 B.C.) are of great importance for the understanding of the great political issues of the 4th century. Their speeches provide us with a most valuable insight in, and commentary on the social and political events in Athens. 'Taken separately, their writings are imperfect; when combined, they afford a system of information equally extensive and satisfactory'. (Preface p. pi3 recto). The English translation of 18 speeches of Lysias and 6 of Isocrates by the Scottish classical scholar and ancient historian John Gillies, 1747-1836, is mentioned one of his major contributions to classical scholarship. 'In the long preliminary discourse on the history and private lives and manners of the Greeks during the period 404 to 338 B.C., Gillies specifically adopted Isocrates as his source, partly no doubt because it suited his own strongly monarchist views to do so'. (DBC 2,371) During the conference 'Revolutions and Classics' of the UCL, held in 2016, where scholars examined the manner in which classical texts have been deployed in societies undergoing rapid and radical social change, it was argued by the young independent scholar Sebastian Robins, that it was Gillies' intention to make available to his contemporaries classical texts that he believed bore immediately on the most pressing political questions of the day: the American Revolutionary War, a war which had just begun. This armed conflict between Great Britain and its 13 North American colonies raged from 1775 till 1783, during which the colonies declared in July 1776 independence as the United States of America. The authority of the two Athenian orators, Robins says, overrules and rectifies that of the contemporary Athenian orator Demosthenes, and that of the late antique historian/philosopher Plutarch and others 'on the basis of which some of the most ingenious eighteenth-century writers had raised flattering accounts of Greek virtue and glory. Their speeches, moreover, contain compelling evidence of the violence, prejudice, and corruption of the ancient Greeks and of the shortcomings of ancient republican institutions. Champions of the nascent American republic on both sides of the Atlantic, Gillies declares', ought, on the authority of the speeches he translates, to reassess their faith in the relationship between democracy and virtue, which he assumed, underpinned the Congressional declarion (of 1776). Gillies is best known for his 'History of Ancient Greece' (1786), the first substantial complete survey in English of the whole Greek history to the time of August. It became popular, and was quickly translated into German and French) (Provenance: Stamp of the Scottish 'Society of the writers to the Signet' on the boards) (Collation: pi4, A-C4, D2, a-3r4; B-3R4, 3S2 (portrait after leaf L1 and T3) (Photographs on request) (Heavy book, may require extra shipping costs) ‎

‎8vo. Two parts in 1 volume: (XIV),381,(3, stocklist) p. Vellum 17 cm (Ref: VD18 10402462; Ad 1: Hoffmann 3,185; Ad 2: Hoffmann 2,478) (Details: Two title-pages, both printed in red & black. On the left pages, printed in two columns, the Greek text and a parallel literal word for word translation into Latin; on the right page a polished translation, on the lower half of the right pages notes in Latin) (Condition: Vellum soiled and spotted. Paper foxed and browning) (Note: The Greek philosopher, historian and educator Plutarchus of Chaeroneia was born before 50 A.D. and died after A.D. 120. He is our most important witness of the spiritual climate of the first and second century A.D. He wrote numerous short treatises of popular moral philosophy, which go under the general name of Moralia. They include debating themes, works in the form of question and answer, and serious discussions of philosophical topics. 'It is no exaggeration to say that Renaissance and early modern Europe discovered Greece and Rome through Plutarch's eyes'. (The Classical Tradition, Cambr. Mass., 2010, p. 748) The treatise 'de puerorum educatione' is the first treatise of the 'Moralia' (No. 1, 1a-14c). Since Wyttenbach's 'Moralia' edition (1795-1810, Animadvers. I, 29-156) it is generally assumed, on stylistic and grammatical grounds, that this treatise cannot have been written by Plutarchus. Therefore it is very remarkable that a not genuine essay has such a strong influence on European intellectual and cultural life. 'The essay, however, is interesting in itself, since it reflect in many ways the educational conditions of its time. Frankly recognizing the difference in natural endowments, the author insists on the great benefits which inevitably come from training. Physical training is of course required, and military training is held to be most important for preparing men to win in battle. A knowledge of philosophy is the final goal of education'. (Plutarch, 'Moralia', with English translation by F.C. Babbitt, LCL 197, p. 3) In the first half of the 18th century alone German scholars published editions in 1705, 1719, 1738, 1744, 1745, 1749, 1750. In 1738 and 1754 German translations appeared. There was evidently much demand for Plutarchus' treatise on the education of children in Germany in the 18th century. The German historian and schoolmaster Christian Juncker, born 1668, became Conrector in 1695 of the 'Hennebergisches Gymnasium Schleusingen'. In 1713 he was appointed Rector of the Gymnasium of Altenburg, where he died in 1714. Juncker produced for the Leipzig publisher Weidmann a whole series of Latin school editions in the same manner as this Plutarch/ Isocrates edition, of Sallustius, Terentius, Florus, Horatius, Vergilius & Suetonius. Weidmann reissued them for decades. They were made in the manner of the popular 'Latin made easy method' of the Dutch schoolmaster Johannes Minellius. The Greek ones, first published in 1704, Juncker made as a next step for schoolboys who had already mastered the Greek of the New Testament.
