Important Collected Works of Homer from the card catalog library of Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), an English historian, writer and member of Parliament. Gibbons is famous for creating the first card cataloging system using French playing cards. This was cataloged in his collection of over 6,000 books, 1700 of which were cataloged using the blank backs of printed French playing cards. Gibbons was incredibly fond of his library, but wished, upon his death, that they be dispersed to scholars for study. William Thomas Beckford (1760-1844) purchased his entire library upon his death and locked them away for nearly a century until the sale of Lausanne (this book was purchased by a E. Tagart in 1850 from Lausanne). Sheffield, Gibbon s executer, sold the collection to Beckford who lived at Fontgill Abbey in Wiltshire and noted that I bought Gibbon s library to have something to read when I passed through Lausanne. I shut myself up for six weeks from early in the morning until night, now and then taking a ride. The people thought me mad. I read myself nearly blind. It is said that Beckford despised Gibbon, which was why they were privately kept away from the public for years. Beckford wrote letters mocking Gibbon, which was terribly unfortunate. A letter of Beckford s was found in his copy of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: The time is not far distant, Mr. Gibbon, when your almost ludicrous self-complacency, your numerous, and apparently willful mistakes, your frequent distortions of historical truth to provoke a give, or excite a sneer at everything most sacred and venerable, your ignorance of the oriental languages, your limited and far from acutely critical knowledge of the Latin and the Greek, and in the midst of all the prurient and obscene gossip of your notes your affected moral purity perking up every now and then from the corrupt mass like artificial roses shaken off in the dark by some Prostitute on a heap of manure, your heartless sceptisicm, your unclassical fondness for meretricious ornament, your tumid dictation, your monotonous jingle of periods, will be still more scouted and exposed than they have been. Once fairly kicked off from your lofty, bedizened stilts, will you be reduced to your just level and true standard. What makes this book even more important, other than the early bookplate of E. Gibbon, is the content. Gibbon was most famous for his magnum opus The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, 1776. Gibbon most certainly used this copy of Homer s works for.

Double-ruled gilt board edges and decorative gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. With the bookplate of Homer scholar and author Roberto Salinas Price on front paste-downs. An absolutely superb copy in its original binding. This edition contains considerable prefatory material, including three traditional Lives of Homer, the Contest of Homer and Hesiod, and the first book of the Homeric Questions of Porphyry. Regarding this edition, Edward Harwood commented that "this Edition will ever maintain its distinction, not merely for its magnificence and the erudition of the Editor, but from the complete Greek Scholia that are here subjoined to the text" (Harwood, p. 2). Joshua Barnes (1654-1712), was an English scholar. Born in London, the son of Edward Barnes, a merchant taylor, he was educated at Christ's Hospital and Emmanuel College, Cambridge, he was chosen in 1695 as Regius Professor of Greek, a language which he wrote and spoke with facility. Barnes "rarely emended his texts, but commented often of their poetic metre and regularly reported the readings of the few English manuscripts he consulted" (ODNB). One of his earliest works was Gerania (1675), a Utopian prose romance about a journey to visit the "blameless pygmies" mentioned in the Iliad. A whimsical sketch to which Swift's Voyage to Lilliput may owe something. Among his other works is a History of that Most Victorious Monarch Edward III (1688), an epic work of over 900 pages, in which he introduces long, elaborate speeches into the narrative. He also produced editions of Euripides (1694), Homer (1711), and Anacreon (1705), of which the last contains titles of Greek verses of his own, which he was hoping to publish. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in November, 1710. Barnes died on 3 August 1712 at Hemingford, near St Ives, Huntingdonshire where his widow erected a monument to him.

Venice, Jacobus à Burgifrancho, 1537. 8vo. Bound in two nice later (18th century) half vellum bindings with gilt leather title-labels to spine. Lovely 18th century patterned paper over boards. a bit of overall wear, but generally very nice. Internally very nice and clean, with only very light occasional dampstaining. Small wormholes to blank margins, some neatly restored. Overall a very nice, clean, and fresh set indeed. Fully complete (possibly with the exception of blanks in the Odyssey). Iliad: (22), 277, (1, colophon) ff. + two blank leaves. Title within woodcut ornamental border, woodcut initials, large woodcut printer's device to verso of colophon-leaf. Odyssey: 251, (8, -index), (1, -colophon) ff. Title within woodcut ornamental border, woodcut initials, large woodcut printer's device to verso of colophon-leaf. The 8-leaf index has been misbound and is placed between ff. 184 and 185. Scarce first printing of the first Divo-editions of The Iliad and The Odyssey, the first printed official "Versio Latina" of Homer, being the first complete Latin text of the Iliad and Odyssey available in print and one of the most influential versions of these two masterpieces ever to appear. "The Versio Latina, or Latin translation of the works of Homer, has existed since the 14th century, but was first printed, under the name of Andreas Divus, in 1537. It is a crib, to give it no finer name, but a crib which had immense influence, being the first introduction to Homer for generations of mediaeval and early modern scholars." (Introduction by Hefyd to the Libri Vox-version of Book 6 of the Odyssey). While several other versions of the Iliad and the Odyssey had appeared earlier, Divo's Latin translation of both works together, with life of Homer by Herodotus in Latin version by Konrad Heresbach, and with the Batrachomyomachia and Homeric hymns in Latin versions by Aldus Manutius and Georgius Dartona, came to greatly dominate Homeric reading in the 16th century and became one of the very most influential versions of the Homeric corpus ever to appear. This came to be the standard Latin version of Homer for centuries to come. It was this version of the texts that Chapman for his translation into English in 1598, and it was used directly by Ezra Pound in his long poem "The Cantos" more than three centuries later. "The first half of the sixteenth century witnessed an explosion of Homeric texts in print, including the influential Hervagius editions by Joachim Camerarius and Jacobus Micyllus (Basel, 1535 and 1541) and four Strasbourg editions (by Johannes Lonitzer and Wolfgang Capito) between 1525 and 1550 alone. But it was the production of Latin, as well as bilingual Greek-Latin, editions during this period that helped to broaden familiarity with Homer among learned humanists and lay readers alike. [.) Sebastian Castellio' s 1561 Greek-Latin edition of Homer was clearly intended for educational purposes, as were Crispinus' s editions (Geneva, 1560 ? 1567), which advertise on their title pages that they contain a " literal Latin version set against [the Greek]" (Latina versione ad verbum e regione apposita). Yet it was another ad verbum Latin translation of the Iliad and Odyssey, by Andreas Divus, that came to dominate during the sixteenth century. First printed in two Venice editions of 1537, one by Melchior Sessa and the other by Jacobo Burgofranco, both with a preface by Divus' s fellow Capodistrian humanist Pier Paolo Vergerio, this Latin crib was later reprinted by the jurist Obertus Giphanius (Hubert van Giffen, 1534 ? 1604) and then used (via Crispinus' s 1570 Geneva edition) as the foundation for Johannes Spondanus' s (Sponde, Jean de, 1557 ? 1595) Latin text in his 1583 Homeri Quae Extant Omnia, a bilingual edition with extensive commentary whose Greek text was the 1572 Strasbourg edition of Giphanius (Sowerby 1996). Although Divus' s translation was the first complete Latin text of the Iliad and Odyssey available in print, its originality has been questioned, given the many close parallels it shares with the much earlier translation by Leontius Pilatus (d. 1366), a translation produced at Boccaccio' s request and subsequently sent to Petrarch." (Pache, edt.: The Cambridge Guide to Homer, 2020, p. 495). Each volume is scarce in itself, but it is extremely rare to find both volumes together and fully complete.
