Venice, in aed. Aldi et Andreae soceri, September 1513 EDITIO PRINCEPS, folio pp. (xxx) 502 + 439 (i) as usual lacking the two blanks. Greek letter, printer's anchor and dolphin device on title and verso of last, guide letters, spaces blank. Wine (?) splash to recto of one leaf, lower outer blank corner of early and final ll. very discretely repaired, light oil stain to head of last two ll. just touching text, first couple of ll. almost invisibly strengthened at gutter, later but not recent eps, a little ink spotting to lower margin of few ll., fol. 14 with ms, signature which has been attributed to the pen of Aldus, couple of other ll. with probably editorial corrections and contemp. marginalia in both Latin and Greek. A very good, clean, wide margined copy in contemp. vellum, yapp fore edges, C19th Welsh armorial bookplate on pastedown. EDITIO PRINCEPS of the surviving works of Plato, of the Timaeus Lorcus (an Hellenist paraphrase of the Timaeus in Doric dialect) and Diogens Laertius' life of the philosopher. The work is prefaced by Aldus' dedication to Giovanni de Medici, now Leo X, probably the finest and most elaborate of Aldus' prefaces. He explains his choice of dedicatee because Ficino dedicated the first (and rather uneven) Latin translation (Florence 1484/5) to Leo's father Lorenzo, now his son could be Aldus' patron and establish in Rome the Greek Academy of which Marcus Musurus - the editor of the present work - was the leading member. Leo did so but appointed Kallierges director of its press. Remarkably Aldus goes on to discuss the voyages of exploration and the discovery of new lands and peoples in Asia, Africa and the Americas (the work generally goes unrecognised as an important early Americanum) which he then compares with his own such voyages in the realms of knowledge and literature, bringing to light those parts which had been lost. For Aldus evidently, as perhaps for many of his contemporaries, the same spirit pervaded both; but it was probably never before so explicitly stated. One of the most important and influential books published by the Aldine press and one of the greatest works of philosophical literature. "All philosophic truth is Plato rightly divined, all philosophic error is Plato misunderstood", Ferrier, Institutes of Metaphysics p.169. The writings of Plato constitutes a corner stone of the modern western ideas of scientific and philosophical enquiry and it is no accident that he was the first of the ancient philosophers to have his woks disseminated by the printing press. The Council of Florence in 1439 had reintroduced Platonic thought through the lectures of Gemistus Pletho, among whose pupils was the future Cardinal Bessanon, from whose magnificent collection of mss. the Aldine text largely derives. By the turn of the century Plato was thoroughly revived in Italy, as he was in France in the mid C16th, in England in the C17th and in Germany in the C19th. The list of eminent lawyers, mathematician, political thinkers, scientists and philosophers formed by or reacting against 'Platonism' is endless, to say nothing of the 'neoplatonist' school of esoterica. But what marks Plato out was "this passionate belief in the answerableness of questions and the certainty that good came from knowledge was developed and idealized in [his] writings. Amidst a great diversity, both of subject and treatment, the dialogues are pervaded by two dominant impulses: a love of truth and a passion for human improvement. While nowhere is a definite system laid down, it has been truly said that the germs of all ideas can be found in Plato". Printing and the Mind of Man p.16. BM. STC It p.524. Adams p.1436. Sarton p.113. Printing and the Mind of Man 27 (Latin trans.). Norman 1714. Renouard 62:4 "importante edition, devenue rare et précieuse". Legrand I 101. Brunet IV 694 "... l'une des plus importantes productions des presses aldines.... Les exemplaires n'en sont pas très-rares, mais, comme on les recherche beaucoup, ils ont une assez grande valeur, sourtout lorsqu'ils sont grandes de marges et bien conservés". Not in Alden or JFB.

RUDOLF II, Holy Roman Emperor, and the STATES GENERAL.

| Brief des Keyserlijcke Majest. van Duytslandt, aende E. Mogende Heeren Staten vande Gheunieerde Provintien gheschreven. Op 't stuck vande Nederlantsche Vredehandeling Midtsgaders d'Antwoort vande voornoemde Heeren Staten ...[Amsterdam?], 1608. Small 4to. With a woodcut device on the title-page. Disbound. |
(8) pp. Asher 26, 27 or 28/33; Knuttel 1513; Simoni G-43; Tiele 716; OCLC WorldCat (5 copies). A letter from the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, to the Dutch States General, dated 19 October 1607, concerning the peace negotiations with Spain, with the States General's undated answer (in fact from 7 January 1608, and longer than the Emperor's letter). The Emperor notes that King Philip of Spain and his governor in the Netherlands, Archduke Albert have already recognized the United Provinces as a "Free Republic," regrets that the negotiations for peace have stalled and implies that the States could do more to facilitate progress. The States General's reply to the Emperor says that King Philip and Archduke Albert, have not fully informed him, and that the Spanish have continued to attempt to undermine the United Provinces by violence on land and at sea contrary to the agreements reached in Cologne.The pamphlet went through two editions, which were issued with all three editions of the Nederlandtsche Bye-Korf between April and August 1608. It was one of the few Bye-Korf pamphlets that was not banned, so that it was again reprinted in the expurgated Bye-Korf after that time. Tiele suggests that this is the second printing, but the order is not certain.With minor tears on or near the fold of the outer bifolium, not approaching the text, and slightly browned, but otherwise a very good copy. Especially interesting for the States General's quite detailed reply.
