Johannes Sambucus savant Hongrois né à Tyrnau le 25 juin 1531 et mort le 13 juin 1584 à Vienne, immense érudit et grand voyageur, il fut l’ami intime de Lambin et Turnéb. Licencié en médecine à padoue il fit connaissance tout au long des 22 ans de son voyage les principales figures de la renaissance européenne, il collecta durant ce périple un nombre considérable de manuscrits anciens et l’objets de curiosités. Nommé historiographe de la maison de Habsbourg il servi sous Maximilien II et surtout Rodolphe II qui le tenait en grand estime, il rencontre Archimboldo et cotoie le cabinet de curiosités de Rodolphe II l’un des plus importants du XVIe siècle. Ses écrits sont nombreux et s’adressent à la philosophie, la littérature, l’emblêmata, l’histoire. Comme éditeur Sambucus a permis de redécouvrir nombre d’écrivains de l’antiquité grecque et romaine, publiant plus de pièces 800 inédites d’auterus grecs qu’il traduisait en latin.Cette galerie de portraits en premier tirage est d’une très grande rareté, les figures de contemporains de Sambucus sont particulièrement intéressants car il rencontrât personnellement nombre d’entre eux. Marcil Ficin, Philippe de Crescent, Paracelse, Lazius, Savonarolle, Matthiole, Agricola, Vésale ect. Les portraits sont ici représentés avec une force évocatrice remarquable. Cependant l’intérêt graphique majeur de cette publication réside dans l’exubérance allégorique des cadres accompagnant chacune de ces personnalités. Exemplaire séduisant, et bien encré dans son vélin souple de l’époque.

Summary This is the first full edition of the correspondence of the humanist Johannes Sambucus (1531?1584). Sambucus was a philologist, book collector, doctor, and imperial historian, most famous for his beautiful collection of emblems (the Emblemata), his exceptionally large private library, and his excellent editions of Classical, Byzantine and Renaissance authors, which were printed by the best publishers of Europe. Sambucus hailed from the prosperous and cosmopolitan city of Trnava in western Hungary. After studying at the universities of Vienna, Wittenberg, Ingolstadt, Strasburg, Paris, and Padua, he toured Europe and collected books for many years before settling in Vienna in 1564. By that time, he was a renowned Latin poet and philologist, the author of several books, and a respected friend of many humanists and learned men. Although the first items of his correspondence go back to 1549, it was only after his settlement that the exchange of letters became an essential means of furthering his publishing projects and maintaining his prestigious position in the Republic of Letters. The 377 Latin, German, Hungarian, and Greek letters of the present edition come mostly from archives scattered throughout Europe and from old prints (Sambucus's personal collection of letters has scarcely survived). Thirty-two dedicatory epistles, which appeared in the 14th volume of the series Europa Humanistica in 2014-to which this is a complementary volume-have not been reproduced here. With over a hundred corresponding partners, these letters provide a unique perspective, shedding light not only on Sambucus's philology but also on the wider intellectual culture of Central Europe.
