‎De kunst der vrijage. (Nederlandsche bewerking J. Meihuizen) ‎

‎Amsterdam, Strengholt, 1941. ‎

‎167 p. Half cloth. 25 cm (OiN 275; prose translation of Ars Amandi) (Charming illustrations by the Dutch artist and book illustrator Frans (Franciscus Alphonsus Maria Cornelis) Lammers (1911-1966). In the weekly magazine 'Nieuwsblad voor den Boekhandel', 109e Jaargang, no. 42, 22 October 1942, we read in a review of this illustrated edition, written by the important Dutch book historian and expert on typography G.W. Ovink (1912/1984: 'Ovidius: Kunst der vrijage (Strengholt). Een buitengewoon dankbare opgave: de luchtige poëzie van Ovidius, die zoo onnavolgbaar het oude Rome op het hoogtepunt van zijn bloei en het begin van de decadentie weergeeft, te illustreeren. Strengholt heeft hiervoor F. Lammers aan het werk gezet, een handig en bekwaam teekenaar (...) Het is verheugend dat deze kunstenaar, wiens werk reeds op ander gebied bekend was, hier de kans kreeg om een dergelijk onderwerp, dat hem ligt, te behandelen in de bandversiering en illustraties. Hij koos een bruinen linnen rug met een rood etiket in grondopdruk met (te magere) nette Romeinsche kapitalen, en een losse vakverdeeling met een hartje in lauwertak, braaf en stijf. De platten daarentegen zijn 'in wit papier, met den titel in zuivere letters en een aardige teekening van een verliefd paar (te laag) daaronder. De derde stijlwisseling komt in de titelpagina, die in Bodoni werd uitgevoerd, terwijl de tekst daarna uit de nobele, inderdaad Romeinsche ,,Weiss"-letter is gezet. Een rare combinatie. De marges zijn zeer ruim gehouden, 'daarin vonden de onderkoppen (Weiss cursief) een plaats, een goede oplossing. Lammers vulde een aantal volle pagina's met benijdenswaardig vlotte penteekeningen, nu en dan op het ,,galante" af, doch nog zeer onschuldig. Zij lijken ons echter te schetsmatig en anecdotisch om bij dit in dubbelen zin klassieke werk geheel te bevredigen. Illustraties daarvoor moeten zeker luchtig zijn, maar daarom nog niet vluchtig. En de Romeinsche jongemannen waren niet allen boerenpummels zooals Lammers die teekent. Door de vlotte prentjes, de stopper-teekeningen in rood, de roode initialen en de ruime opmaak is het een aantrekkelijk boek geworden, doch iets te luchtig van toon en tegelijk te veel in de richting van het pompeuze ,,prachtwerk". Een kleiner formaat, dat meer tot een telkens ter hand nemen inviteert, voorts - zoo mogelijk - een wat gladder papier, en een delicatere typografie zouden meer in de lijn van dezen tekst gelegen hebben'.

‎4to. (VIII),334,(40 index) p., frontispiece; 26 engraved plates. Vellum. 29 cm (Ref: STCN ppn 843242159; Schweiger 2,685; Geerebaert 122,26,b; OiN 273) (Details: Large paper copy. Third volume of 3 only. Back with seven raised bands. Boards blind stamped. The frontispiece, made by J. Goeree and J. van Vianen, depicts Ovid in despair being sent into exile by the emperor Augustus. Engraved plates of gods & goddesses and the like in the translation of the Fasti.) (Condition: Vellum age-toned, soiled & spotted. Paper partly yellowing. 3rd and last volume only) (Note: This third volume of a set of three contains a Dutch prose translation of part of the works of the Roman poet Ovid, 43 B.C. - 17 A.D. It contains a translation of the 'Tristia', 'Epistulae ex Ponto', 'Fasti', 'Ibis', 'Nux', 'Consolatio ad Liviam Elegiae', 'Medicamina Faciei Femineae'. Ovidius 'is perhaps the most consistently influential and popular writer of the classical tradition. His central position is suggested by the many surviving manuscripts of his works and their early publication in printed editions. (...) Most would agree that it is his Metamorphoses that has had the greatest influence, but his other major poems, the Heroides, Tristia, Fasti, and particularly his racier works, the Amores, Ars amatoria, and Remedia amoris, have played their part in maintaining his reputation as a writer of enduring importance and appeal.' (The Classical Tradition, Cambr. Mass. 2010, p. 667) The huge number of editions and translations suggests that Ovid's appeal lies also beyond the bounderies of the scholarly world. The editor and annotator of this work, Ludolf Smids, confesses in the preface of the first volume that he thinks that his readers probably know little Latin. In the preface of the 2nd volume (the Metamorphoses), he is more precise about his public. There he states that everyone has read this 'weergaloos Konstwerk' (inimitable work of art) thoroughly. Painters, sculptors, and engravers draw on this famous source for inspiration. 'Want wie (buiten de Letterkundige) beroemd sich niet de Metamorphosis door en door geleesen te hebben, aangesien sy is de rijke schatkamer en het volgepropte wapenhuys van Schilders, Beeldhouwers en Graveerders, die niet ontkennen hunne Ifigeniaas, Medeaas, Nioben, Altheën, en andere wonderstukken, deselve ontleend te hebben'. In the preface to this last volume Smids declares once more that he did not publish the translation and did not write his annotations for scholars and the like, but for painters, sculptors, engravers and draughtsmen, and for young students (jonge Leerlingen van Taalen en Weetenschappen). The dates of the translator Abraham Valentijn are unknown. He was living in the Dutch town of Dordrecht, at least from 1666, where he first was praeceptor (teacher of classical languages) of the local 'Schola Latina', and later Conrector. His Ovid translation was first published in Leiden 1678, and was reprinted twice. He also published a prose translation of Juvenal, which had some success, for it was reprinted several times. (Van der Aa 19,24) More is known about the editor and annotator of this translation, Ludolf Smids, 1649-1720. He came to Leiden, where he became Doctor of Medicine in 1673. He went to live in Amsterdam, where he spent more time on the study of history, antiquities, poetry and numismatics than as medical practioner. He wrote plays, poetry, and several books on numismatics. He also translated the 'Mostellaria' of Plautus into Dutch. (Van der Aa, 17/2, 760) (Provenance: On the front pastedown in ink: 'J.H.

‎Ovids Verwandlungen : In Kupfern vorgestellt, und mit nöthigen Erläuterungen versehen. Heraus gegeben von einer Gesellschaft‎

‎Wien 1791 Ignaz Alberti, Half-Leather (Hardcover) 1st Edition ‎

‎Half-Leather (Hardcover), 22 x 16 cm, VII + 137, 246, 163 + 139 page wide etchings pp., German, 1st Edition, Illustrations, book condition: Very GoodrnA few pages are slightly soiled; some engravings have stains from spills. The binding is still very sturdy, though the corners are bumped.rn1. The Stories (The Metamorphoses)rnThe core consists of over 250 myths, each centred on a transformation (metamorphosis). The chronology spans from the creation of the world out of Chaos to the deification of Julius Caesar:rnPart 1: Covers creation, the Flood (Deucalion and Pyrrha) and early tales of the gods, such as Apollo and Daphne.rnPart 2: Contains dramatic tales such as the fall of Phaethon and the adventures of Hercules.rnPart 3: Focuses on the Trojan War and the transition to Roman history.rn2. The 'Nöthigen Erläuterungen' (Explanations)rnWhat makes this edition unique is the extensive commentary by the "Gesellschaft" (the society of editors). For each story, they provided:rnHistorical interpretation: Where did these myths originate?rnScientific explanations: Sometimes they attempted to explain a myth as a symbol for a natural phenomenon.rnMoral lessons: In the 18th century (the Enlightenment), it was considered important for readers to learn from the mistakes of the gods and heroes. The text often explains which virtue or vice is hidden within a story.rn3. The Visual Narrative (The 'Kupfern')rnThe 139 copper engravings are not merely decorative; they are intended as a picture book. The engravings often depict the exact moment of the transformation (for example, fingers turning into branches). As books were very expensive in 1791, these plates also served to make the stories accessible to an audience that could not read the complex Latin sources directly.‎

‎Venice (Venetiis), Apud Nicolaum Pezzana, 1715. ‎

‎12mo. (VI),640,(13 index),(1 blank). Calf 15.5 cm 'Kind of prize copy?' (Ref: Not in Schweiger, though he mentions other editions; cf. Graesse 5,76; cf. Ebert 15445) (Details: Back gilt and with 4 raised bands. Woodcut ornament on the title. On the lower part of the pages, below Ovid's text, Juvencius notes in Latin) (Condition: Binding scuffed, corners bumped. Head and tail of the spine damaged. Prize inscription on front flyleaf. Paper somewhat foxed and yellowing. Name and old ink inscription on the flyleaf at the end) (Note: The Roman poet Ovidius, 43 B.C. - 17 A.D, 'is perhaps the most consistently influential and popular writer of the classical tradition (...) Most would agree that it is his Metamorphoses that has had the greatest influence, but his other major poems, the Heroides, Tristia, Fasti, and particularly his racier works, the Amores, Ars amatoria, and Remedia amoris, have played their part in maintaining his reputation as a writer of enduring importance and appeal'. (The Classical Tradition, Cambr. Mass. 2010, p. 667) Ovid was widely read in antiquity, and remained to be read at the Carolingian court in the Middle Ages. The 12th/13th centuries are even called the 'aetas Ovidiana', for Ovid's love elegy was one of the mainsprings of the phaenomenon of courtly love and its literary expression. His 'Ars amatoria' and the 'Remedia' became even part of the school curriculum. Ovid became also the favourite poet of the Renaissance. Especially his 'Metamorphoses' were a source of inspriration for Boccaccio, Dante, Petrarca, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and in modern times Kafka, T.S. Eliot, Freud, et many others. This school edition of Metamorphoses of the Roman poet Ovid is the work of the French Jesuit scholar, poet and paedagogue Joseph de Jouvancy, or Jouvency, in Latin Josephus Juvencius, 1643-1719. Jouvancy entered the Society of Jesus when he was sixteen, 'and after completing his studies he taught grammar at the college at Compiègne, and rhetoric at Caen and the College of La Flèche. He made his profession in the latter place in 1677 and was afterwards appointed professor at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand in Paris. In 1699 he was called by his superiors to Rome to continue the history of the Society of Jesus begun by Niccolo Orlandini, and was engaged on this work until his death. (...) Jouvancy edited a large number of school editions of Latin authors, including Terence, Horace, Juvenal, Persius, Martial, the Metamorphoses of Ovid and the philosophical writings of Cicero, such as De Officiis, Cato Major and Laelius'. The texts were revised and purged for school use, and supplied with footnotes in Latin. 'These expurgated editions were frequently reissued well into the 19th century, both in France and other countries'. (Source for Jouvancy Wikipedia) This Ovid edition was rather popular. Dozens of editions were published in Europe in the 18th and the first half of the 19th century) (Provenance: Piemontese provenance. The manuscript prize is for 'Carolus Philippus Testa' of the 'Schola Clarascensis', and is awarded to him in 1717 by 'Magistro Joê Boucher Tullensi'. Most probably a prize for one Carlo Filippo Testa of a school in the Italian city Cherasco (Clarescum) in Piemonte, and donated by a magister named Johannes Boucher from Toul. The Piemontese origin seems to be confirmed by the inscription on the verso of the flyleaf at the end. It is in Italian, and is to thank 'mio caro amico' 'Chiera, Pietro da Mondovi' who was a 'compagno in grammatica'. We found a Pietro Chiera from the Piemontese city Modovi who taught Latin grammar at a Piemontese school from 1851 till 1854. At the end the name 'Rovere, Gio Battista da Magliano, 1863.' Who this Italian from the Tuscan city Magliano was, we could not find out) (Collation: A-2D12, 2E6 (Leaf E6 verso blank)) ‎

‎8vo. (XVI),832,(14 index),(2 blank) p., One portrait of Ovid. Vellum. 20 cm (Volume 1 of 3) (Ref: STCN ppn 852573480; Schweiger 2,631: 'Bloss Wiederholung der Ausgabe von 1670'; Brunet 4/272: 'Cette édition est belle, et les notes en sont plus et mieux choisies'; Dibdin 2,267/8: 'Yet (of the Variorum editions) that of 1683 is perhaps the general favourite'; Graesse 5,70; Ebert 15368; Rahir 2784, 'Annexes de la Collection Elzevirienne') (Details: Volume 1 of 3 only. One engraved portrait of Ovid. Engraved frontispiece, depicting the Judgment of Paris; in the foreground Amor and a peacock, in the background Troy. This volume contains the Latin text with extensive commentary of the 'Heroides' (p. 1/308), 'Amores' (p. 309/510), 'Ars Amatoria' (p. 511/680), 'Remedia Amoris' (p. 681/738), the fragment 'Medicamina Faciei' (p. 738/748), 'Halieuticon' (p. 749/760), 'Consolatio ad Liviam' (p. 761/793), and 'Nux' (p. 793/806); at the end have been printed 3 verse epistles, each written in the person of a legendary woman to her absent lover, forged by the Italian humanist and impersonator of Ovid, Angelo Sabino, or Angelus Sabinus, floruit 1460/1480. The 3 hoax poems were for a long time attributed to Aulus Sabinus, a friend of Ovidius) (Condition: Binding age-tanned. Upper corner of back cover damaged. This is volume 1 of 3 only) (Note: The Roman poet Ovid, 43 B.C. - 17 A.D, 'is perhaps the most consistently influential and popular writer of the classical tradition. His central position is suggested by the many surviving manuscripts of his works and their early publication in printed editions. (...) Most would agree that it is his Metamorphoses that has had the greatest influence, but his other major poems, the Heroides, Tristia, Fasti, and particularly his racier works, the Amores, Ars amatoria, and Remedia amoris, have played their part in maintaining his reputation as a writer of enduring importance and appeal'. (The Classical Tradition, Cambr. Mass. 2010, p. 667) Ovid was widely read in antiquity, and remained to be read at the Carolingian court in the Middle Ages. Ovid became also the favourite poet of the Renaissance. Boccaccio and Petrarca were influenced by him. Shakespeare was inspired more by Ovid than by Vergil. (Neue Pauly 9,110/119) The huge number of editions and translations suggests that Ovid's appeal lies also beyond the bounderies of the scholarly and literary world. A new age (1658-1837) dawns in the textual history of Ovid's poems with the work of the famous Dutch scholar, neolatin poet and diplomat, Nicolaas Heinsius, 1620-1681, 'who, after 345 year, remains the central figure in any account of the editing of Ovid. No modern editor will fail to mention his name in the preface as the 'sospitator Ovidii; no 'apparatus criticus', will fail to cite his numerous contributions to the improvement of the text'. (P.E. Knox (ed.), 'A companion to Ovid', Chichester 2013, online version) Heinsius' editions of Ovid offer texts that are based on an extensive first hand knowledge of the manuscripts, and that are supplemented with a full textual commentary which records and discusses 'variae lectiones', and notes alterations of the vulgate text. (Sandys 2,323/6) Our edition of 1683 is a reissue an an edition of 1670, published in Leiden. It is a so-called 'Variorum' edition. Such an edition generally offers a 'textus receptus' which is widely accepted, accompanied with the commentary and the annotations of various specialists, taken, or excerpted from earlier useful, normative or renewing editions. Editions like these were useful, but never broke new ground. This Variorum edition was produced by the Dutch classical scholar of German descent Bochardus Cnippingius, 1623/24-1674. At the age of 23 or 24 he was appointed Rector of the Schola Latina at Culemborg. He gave up this position and moved to Leiden to teach classics at the local 'Schola Latina', later he became Conrector. Cnippingius' edition was the main source for the Ovid translation of the English poet John Dryden.
