Leather. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket. First Edition Thus. [xvi], 578, [lxxx] pp. Small octavo. Full leather binding, probably 1600s, with blind ruling to the covers. Boards are scuffed and worn but still functional, spine covering is quite worn with evidence of old amateurish repair, joints cracking. Interior pastedowns are gone, first blank is quite browned and chipped and it is pulling away from the block, hinges cracked but sewing still strong. Interior text is clean and unmarked, a little browned near the front and back but otherwise good. In Latin with Greek text passages, primarily in Italic. No printer is given and Estienne apologized for the quality of the printing which is in some parts a bit light, although still quite legible. Edited by the celebrated scholar/printer Henri Estienne (in Latin, Henricus Stephanus). It contains the important mystical Commentary on the Dream of Scipio - Cicero's account of a dream Roman general Scipio had two years before he conquered Carthage. Macrobius takes the dream and uses it to expound on Neo-Platonic, Stoic mystical and astronomical ideas -- ideas about Pythagorean thought, a round earth, the creation of the universe, the strange music of the spheres; all of which permeated Medieval thought. This edition also contains the other major text by Macrobius, the Saturnalia. Here, Macrobius describes the banquets and discussions held in the house of Vettius Praetextatus. He covers a broad range of topics -- mythological and astronomical, medical, tantalizingly citing numerous ancient texts, many of them now lost to history. This 1585 edition is important historically as it is also based on several manuscripts which had just been reviewed by the scholar Estienne; because of its importance, it was destined for the famed Frankfurt Fair, where booksellers and buyers in the Middle Ages and Renaissance went (and still go) to buy books In this book, besides the text and commentary, Estiennes also explains the process of examining old manuscripts and arriving at a definitive text -- a fascinating look at the efforts of a great classical scholar; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 578 pages.

Hardcover. Zustand: VG. Macrobius / 1574 / (Macrobius World Map) Macrobii Ambrosii Aurelii Theodosii, [.] In somnium Scipionis, lib. II. Saturnaliorum, lib. VII. Ex uarijs, ac uetustissimis codicibus recogniti, & aucti [Commentary on the Dream of Scipio] (Safe 1, 79482) Octavo. Later full stiff vellum (a few small tiny wormholes to binding, crack and partially exposed cord at front joint, small 1-inch crack at mid-back joint). Spine chipped at head with some loss of vellum, headband split. Edges stained blue. 567,[1, errata],[62] pages. Diagrams and woodcut map (on page 144), woodcut initials, printer's device on title. A-2M8, N4, A-D8 ( D8 blank). Complete. Occasional minor marginal wormholes (not affecting world map). Else leaves quite crisp and nice. The 1574 Venice edition of Roman philosopher Macrobius' Neo-Platonist work [Commentarii] In somnium Scipionis and Saturnalium. The work is particularly famous for its world map (on page 144), which presents a geographically similar map to the original woodcut used in Brescia in 1483. This map, adorned with cherubic wind heads (an addition that first occurred in the woodblock of the 1500 Venice edition), is a significant example of early cartography. As noted by Shirley: The inhabited world north of the Equator is balanced by a southern continent and divided from it by water. Among the roughly 150 manuscripts recorded by Destombes dating from 1200 to 1500 AD nearly 100 contain a simple map illustrating Macrobius's theories. Macrobius' commentary on The Dream of Scipio (Somnium Scipionis), which makes up the majority of the sixth book of Cicero's De Republica, is perhaps the most well-known passage since, unlike the rest of the work, it has come down to us practically intact. It is Macrobius' Commentarii that allowed the dissemination of Cicero's text. Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius was a prominent Roman philosopher and commentator whose works bridged the classical and medieval worlds. His Commentary on the Dream of Scipio and the Saturnalia are vital texts for understanding the transmission of classical knowledge through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. The Somnium Scipionis interprets a dream vision from Cicero's De Republica, focusing on cosmology and virtue, while the Saturnalia presents a rich tapestry of Roman customs, beliefs, and intellectual debates. Book.

Al frontespizio annotazione manoscritta al margine inferiore (?Jo: Fran:ci Ang:la?), piccolo tarlo al margine superiore delle prime cc. (parzialmente intaccante il titolo al frontespizio). Lievi fioriture su alcune cc, a tratti lievemente brunito. Mezza pelle recente con fregi ornamentali e titolo in oro al dorso, taglio rosso. Nel complesso esemplare più che discreto.Il volume contiene due delle opere più significative di Macrobio, scrittore e funzionario latino del IV-V secolo d'origine africana. Nella prima, un commento neoplatonico al ciceroniano Sogno di Scipione in cui introduce le sue persuasioni filosofiche, ispirate ai princìpi e agli ideali del neoplatonismo del tempo e discute della natura dell'anima e di Dio, dell'universo e degli astri ed espone un concetto geocentrico della terra. Nei sette libri dei Saturnali in forma di dialogo, seconda opera del volume, l'autore tratta vari interessanti argomenti tra cui l'origine delle feste in onore di Saturno, la divisione dell'anno, il culto di alcune divinità e soprattutto l'arte e la tecnica di Virgilio; vari passaggi riguardano fisica, matematica, geografia ed astronomia. Macrobio si preoccupa soprattutto che non vada perduto il patrimonio della tradizione degli antichi, in un'epoca di incipiente decadenza della romanità. Di particolare interesse ed importanza geografico-scientifica è il mappamondo pre-Tolemaico in xilografia, la terra è formata da quattro grandi isole con una zona torrida inagibile a separare i due emisferi, che costituì per circa un millennio il modello geografico terrestre.IT\ICCU\TO0E\021870.

Un volume petit in-12° (15, 4 x 11cm), reliure ancienne velin souple ivoire d'aspect irrégulier, dos à trois nerfs, reste d'attaches. Nom de l'auteur (MACROBE) manuscrit sur le dos. 567 pages imprimées en italiques, 32 feuilles d'index , caractères tous en italique (texte en latin et partiellement en grec, soit in-texte soit en notes marginales), 4 illustrations (p. 101, 109, 137 et 144). La dernière d'entre elles étant particulièrement connue (p.144) car il s'agit d'une cartes du monde qui fut une des premières à représenter la terre sous forme d'une globe et à séparer les deux hemisphères. L'ouvrage date en principe de 1575. C'est ce que l'on peut lire sur la page de titre mais on notera qu'un des chiffres romains X a été inscrit à la main. Quoi qu'il en soit ce volume contient 2 textes, comme quasiment chaque édition des oeuvres de MACROBE, lequel en a écrit une troisième, moins connue, un traité de grammaire sur les différences et ressemblances entre le grec et le latin.Ses deux oeuvres majeures donc auraient été composées vers 430. MACROBE, né en Numidie vers 370 fut un haut fonctionnaire de l'Empire romain et ses oeuvres semblent avoir été lues tout long du moyen âge. On peut dire aussi qu'Il fut un philosophe et un philologue néoplatonicien (doctrine de l'antiquité tardive, inspirée non seulement de PLATON mais de plusieurs courants de la spiritualité orientale et grecque. Le COMMENTAIRE DU SONGE DE SCIPION (pp. 3-177 )permit entre autres richesses de retrouver un texte de CICERON (De Republica) qui avait, complètement disparu et qui en occupait les paragraphes 9 à 29 du livre VI . MACROBE en avait extrait ce texte pour le traiter comme une sorte de fable autonome (SCIPION rêve qu'il s'elève jusqu'au ciel pour y retrouver ses aieux , lesquels lui expliquent le mécanisme du cosmos, la place de la Terre et de l'homme au sein de l'univers et le principe de l'immortalité). Dans ce texte MACROBE s'appuie sur une carte du monde.Dans le 2ème texte, LES SATURNALES (pp.178-267), MACROBE nous décrit une sorte de colloque littéraire où au milieu des trois jours des fêtes des Saturnales de l'an 384 douze savants romains, dont un grammairien serbe, décident de s'enfermer pour parler de divers sujets, Virgile, les antiquités et les traditions romaines, la philosophie, la grammaire, l'astrologie, divers citations d'auteurs souvent disparus, des curiosités des anecdotes etc. On peut dire qu'il s'agit avec ce texte, d'un hommage à l'ancienne Rome païenne. Exemplaire compact dans sa reliure d'époque en vélin, et en BON ÉTAT. [50276].

Title browning, paper yellowing, some slight foxing. Wormhole in the right uppercorner of ca. 80 p., not coming near any text. Pastedowns affected by a few small unobjectional wormholes) (Note: Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius, a Roman senator and a classical scholar of the early 5th century A.D. 'was a notable link between the cultures of antiquity and the Middle Ages'. This edition contains his 2 most important works, the 'Saturnalia' and his 'Commentarii in Somnium Scipionis', the 'Dream of Scipio', a commentary on a part of 'De Republica' of the Roman orator Cicero. The 'Saturnalia' is a learned compilation in 7 books cast in dialogue form, in which the cultural life of the former generation is idealized. Macrobius' aim is to provide his son with all the necessary hard to come by scientific knowledge. He did so in the form of a banquet. Macrobius was inspired by the Ciceronian dialogues 'De Oratore' and 'De Republica'. 'Set during the Saturnalia of 383, it gathers several (conspicuously non-Christian) members of the aristocracy and their entourage to discuss matters ridiculous (.) and sublime, (.) above all the poetry of Virgil. Quarried from mostly unnamed sources - including Gellius, Seneca, Plutarch, and the tradition of scholastic commentary today known from Servius, the discussion presents Virgil as the master of all human knowledge'. More influential in the Middle Ages and Renaissance was the commentary of Macrobius on the 'Somnium Scipionis'. Macrobius uses Cicero's text (De Republica 6,10 ff) as the starting point for a thoroughly Neoplatonic treatment of (especially) cosmology and the soul's ascent to the One, with direct debts to Porphyry and Plotinus.' Discussed are matters of mathematics, physics, cosmology, astronomy, geography and ethics. He thus forged a kind of compendium of science and philosophy, which transmitted classical knowledge to the medieval world, and was to hold a central position in the intellectual development of the West during the Middle Ages. His books belong to the basic sources of the scholastic movement and of medieval science. His work left traces in the works of Dante, Chaucer, Vives and Spenser. (Source for M. and the quotations: 'The Classical Tradition', Cambr. Mass., 2010, p. 553). § Joachim Camerarius, 1500-1574, holds one of the foremost places among the German classical scholars of the 16th century. Gudeman calls him even 'der bedeutendste Philologe Deutschlands im 16. Jahrh.' (Grundriss der Geschichte der klassischen Philologie, Lpz. 1909, p. 216) He held professorships at Nuremberg, Tübingen and Leipzig. 'His numerous editions of the Classics, without attaining the highest rank, are characterized by acumen and good taste'. (Sandys, 'History of Classical Scholarship' 2, p. 266/67) Camerarius was a man of vast knowledge. He also wrote on history, theology, mathematics, astronomy and paedagogy. He seems to have been just the man for editing the encyclopaedic works of Macrobius. Camerarius had evidently a high opinion of himself and his talents. Such we gather from the following distich on the titlepage: 'Qui tamen et nostri numerum vult scire laboris, annumeret versus totius ille libri', i.e. he left his mark in every line of verse in Macrobius. This book contains furthermore an interesting Macrobian map, a map which for a 1000 years formed the basis of world geography. It was first printed in 1482, showing the continents in the 'Alveus Oceani', a big Europe, and a rather small Africa and Asia. The round map is typically divided in 5 climatic zones. It shows the pre-Renaissance view of the world, Antipodeans and all. Our map shows the awakening of the passion for exploration and the cartographic progress in this period. Africa and Asia have grown hugely, and Europe has shrunk considerably. The lines of the climatic zone on the first map of 1482 were straight, suggesting a flat earth, on our map the lines are convex, indicating a world which is really a round ball. And the Antipodean part has gone. No sign however of America. The literature on the development of the Macrobian world view is immense) (Provenance: On the front flyleaf in pencil '7 januari 1961', written by the Flemish linguist Walter Couvreur, 1914-1996, who was an Orientalist, and professor of Indoeuropean linguistics at the University of Gent.
