Short title calligraphed with black ink on the back. Title of 'Theseus' printed in red & black. Emblematic woodcut printer's device on the third title, depicting Ceres and Athena, labour and science, the motto is: 'vivitur in genio', 'only through his genius man survives') (Condition: Vellum slightly soiled) (Note: The Dutch classicist and historian Johannes Meursius (Johannes van Meurs), 1579-1639, was professor of History and Greek in the university of Leiden from 1610 till 1620. He studied under the genius J.J. Scaliger, and is best known for the 'editiones principes' of a number of Byzantine authors he produced, and the 'editio princeps' of the 'Elementa Harmonica' of Aristoxenus (1616). He edited also the 'Timaeus' of Plato with the commentary and translation of Chalcidius (1617). Meursius' indefatigable labours concerned also the history of ancient Greece, and especially Eleusis, and the antiquities of Athens and Attica. His work was widely used as a source by later ancient historians. Nothing that related to the history of Athens he left untouched, law, government, festivals, institutions, manners, literature, religion etc. The dazzling variety of titles of part of his pioneering work seems almost to exhaust the subject 'ancient Athens': De populis Atticae (1616), Atticarum lectionum libri VI (1617), Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides. Sive de tragoediis eorum (1619), Panathenaea. Sive de Minervae illo gemino festo (1619), Eleusinia. Sive, de Cereris Eleusinae sacro, ac festo (1619), Fortuna Attica. Sive, de Athenarum origine (1622), Archontes Athenienses. Sive, de ijs, qui Athenis summum istum magistratum obierunt (1622), Cecropia. Sive de Athenarum arce, & ejusdem antiquitatibus (1622), De ludis Graecorum (1622), Pisistratus. Sive, de ejus vita, & tyrannide (1623), Athenae Atticae. Sive, de praecipuis Athenarum antiquitatibus (1624), Areopagus. Sive, de senatu areopagitico (1624), Regnum Atticum. Sive, de regibus Atheniensium (1633), Reliqua Attica; sive, ad librum De populis Atticae, paralipomena (1684), Theseus, sive de ejus vita rebusque gestis (1684), Themis Attica sive De legibus Atticis (1685) It is manifest that Meursius with these works laid the foundations of much later learning. The works in this convolute have been edited by J.G. Graevius, who has added at the beginning of the 'Theseus' a dedicatio to Carolus Sanctamauraeus, tutor of the Dauphin of France) (Collation: A-G4, H2; 2A-E4; *4, A-R4, chiS4, S2; (after the last textpage of the Theseus (leaf R4) a gathering (chiS) with an 'Index rerum' has been inserted, before the 'Index auctorum' to which the catchword of R4-verso is referring.

‎Ioannis Meursii Panathenaea, sive de Minervae illo gemino festo liber singularis. ‎

‎Leiden (Lugduni Batavorum), Ex officina Elzeviriana, 1619. ‎

‎4to. (VIII),48 p. Calf 18 cm (Ref: Wiilems 161; Rahir 131; Berghman 1977) (Details: Woodcut printer's mark on the title, depicting an eagle with spread wings on a pedestal; the bird holds in its beak a set of 7 arrows bound together; the motto reads: 'Concordia res parvae crescunt'; the bundle of arrows symbolizes The Dutch Republic of the Seven United Netherlands (also Provinces); since its foundation in 1588 the motto of the United Provinces was 'Concordia res parvae crescunt', in Dutch: 'Eendracht maakt macht', a still popular motto in the coat of arms of many countries. The saying was coined by the Roman historian Sallust. (Bellum Jugurthinum, caput 10)) (Condition: Binding very scuffed: leather on the back wearing away; scratches on the boards; front joint partly split and broken; corners bumped. Front flyleaf gone. Title dustsoiled. Some light foxing on the first and last pages. Right lower corner of the last gathering faintly waterstained) (Note: The Dutch classicist and ancient historian Johannes Meursius (Johannes van Meurs), 1579-1639, was professor of History and Greek since 1610/13 in the university of Leiden. He studied under the genius J.J. Scaliger, and is best known for the 'editiones principes' of a number of Byzantine authors he produced, and the 'editio princeps' of the 'Elementa Harmonica' of Aristoxenus (1616). He edited also the 'Timaeus' of Plato with the commentary and translation of Chalcidius (1617). He wrote much on the history of ancient Greece, on Eleusis, and especially on the antiquities and festivals of Athens and Attica. His work was widely used as source by later ancient historians. (J.E. Sandys, 'A history of classical scholarship', 1964, p. 311) The tradition of studying the 'Athenian Festivals' goes back to antiquity, was kept alive during the Renaissance, and is still flourishing today. The real mark of a festival is the breadth of participation, i.e. whether large groups of the population participate in the celebration. The Panathenaea, or Panathenaic Games, were held every four years in ancient Athens and are doubtless the best known of all Greek festivals, with the exeption of Eleusis. It was held in honour of Athena, in the form of Athena Polias, the protectress of the city. There were two kinds of Panathenaea, the lesser one, often called Panathenaea, without any epithet, and greater Panathenaea, which had the adjective µe???a. The difference between the two festivals was, that the greater one was more solemn and luxurious, and that the peplus of Athena was brought to the Parthenon on the Akropolis in a magnificent procession. The great Panathenaea were held every fourth year, in the third year of every Olympiad, and lasted a number of days. There were solemn and very munificent offerings and rituals, a torch-race, or lampadephoria/lampadarium, was held between the Athenian phylai, athletic competitions, chariot races, musical, dance and reciting contests were organized, and there was an abundance of food and entertainment. The chief solemnity was the procession to the temple of Athena Polias, where a vestment, the peplos, was consecrated and offered to the goddess. Meursius treats all these aspects, constantly referring to ancient sources. It is clear that all later research on the subject is based on the foundations he laid) (Collation: *4, A-F4) (Photographs on request) ‎

‎Elegantiae latini sermonis seu Aloisia segaea Toletana. De arcanis amoris & veneris. Adjunctis fragmentis quibusdam eroticis‎

‎S. n. | Londres 1781 | 8.50 x 12 cm | relié‎

‎Nouvelle édition. Reliure de l'époque en plein maroquin vert croisillonné, dos lisse orné de trois fleurons, roulettes et filets, double filet d'encadrement sur les plats, tranches dorées, frise intérieure. Dos insolé et éclairci, deux trous de vers le long du mors supérieur du tome 2. Petits frottements aux coins. Originellement publié en 1660 sous le pseudonyme d'Aloisia Sigea par Nicolas Chorier et présenté comme une traduction d'un manuscrit espagnol par Johannes Meursius, ce livre érotique s'est plu à déjouer la censure par sa page de titre reprise dans cette édition sous l'intitulé Elegantiae latini sermonis. Ce texte parodique composé de plusieurs entretiens sur l'éducation des femmes et leurs aspirations eut une profonde influence sur la littérature érotique européenne, il expose l'éducation sexuelle d'une jeune fille. Après une série d'entretiens, l'ouvrage se termine par divers fragments érotiques: Fragmenta aliquot erotica. On y trouve divers poèmes, des remèdes pour les femmes libidineuses (lettre d'Antoine à Cléopâtre)... Superbe exemplaire, dans une reliure de qualité. - Photographies et détails sur www.Edition-Originale.com -‎

‎Texte en latin. Ce célèbre poème érotique circula au début du siècle dans les milieux libertins et connut plusieurs éditions en latin sous des titres différents. L'oeuvre originale avait prétendument été écrit en espagnol par Aloysia ou Luisa Sigea, poétesse érudite et fille d'honneur à la cour de Lisbonne, puis traduit ensuite en latin par un certain Jean ou Joannes Meursius, humaniste hollandais. L’auteur en est l’avocat, écrivain et latiniste Nicolas Chorier. Bon état d’occasion Livres anciens‎

‎EDITION ORIGINALE de ces trois rares ouvrages imprimés en caractères grecs et latins par Isaac ELZEVIER. Ils traitent des fêtes et mystères de la Grèce, notamment des fêtes en l'honneur de Cérès ("Eleusinies") et d'Athènes ("Panathénées"). Jean de MEURS, dit "MEURSIUS" (1579-1639), savant philologue hollandais, tient une place distinguée parmi les érudits précoces. Le nom de sa famille était "De Meurs", qu'il latinisa suivant l'usage des érudits de son temps. On doit à ce savant toute une suite de dissertations d'une grande autorité sur une foule de points de littérature et d'histoire critique. (WILLEMS, Les Elzevier, 160, 159, 161 - RAHIR, Catalogue d'une collection unique de volumes imprimés par les Elzevier, 130, 128, 131). BEL EXEMPLAIRE. NICE COPY.
