Five neo-classical studies reflecting the wide range of interests of the celebrated Flemish humanist Joest Lips (1547-1606), who initiated the renewed study of Roman military methods in the Netherlands. The essay on the Greatness of Rome in dialogue form contains several chapters of military interest: book 2, ch.10 on the public expenses of maintaining an army, book 4, ch. 3 on justice and clemency in war, and book 4, ch. 4 on the strength of the Roman army. The treatise on public spectacles or gladiatorial games remains a valuable source for our knowledge of ancient combat. The evocative engraved illustrations by Otto Vaenius (1556-1629), a teacher of Rubens, include: folding plates showing 'meridiani' armed with swords only fighting at a banquet for the entertainment of guests, gladiators performing at a funeral, sham-fighting with wooden staves and fighting to the death with swords in an amphitheatre; half-page engravings depicting a variety of combats: women and dwarfs (favoured by the emperor Domitian), a 'retirarius' or net fighter armed with a trident against a 'secutor' or heavily armed swordsman, a 'mirmillon' with helmet, shield and sword against a Thracian with buckler and curved dagger, a Samnite with body amour, oblong shield and short sword, essedarians throwing javelins from chariots, 'andabatae' or horsemen with closed helmets and spears, 'dimachaeri' with swords in both hands, 'lacearii' with lasso and sword, 'postulaticii' or heavily armed prize fighters who made only special appearances, and 'catervarii' who fought in bands. The famous study of Roman amphitheatres, here in the last edition corrected by the author, is dedicated to the great geographer Abraham Ortelius (Funck, p354 & Fowler 183 (note). The plates show the Colosseum with gladiatorial games in progress, and the theatres of Verona, Pola, Nîmes, and Doué. The study of the Vestal Virgins, illustrated with delicate engravings of coins and cameos, is followed by a description of great libraries of the ancient world in Egypt, Greece and Rome. Lipsius, a professor at Louvain, was a close friend of Plantin and his successor Moretus, who between them, published nearly all of his works. A freshly preserved volume from the Nordkirchen Library with bookplate.

Contact seller5-star sellerBrossura. Condition: nuovo. Edited by Agnès Guiderdoni-Bruslé, Ralph Dekoninck, Aline Smeesters. Pages: 108 p.Illustrations:44 b/w Language(s):Latin, French. Publication Year:2018. Brepols. ISBN: 978-2-503-56966-6. Paperback --- SUMMARY Le peintre Otto Vaenius (Leyde 1556 Bruxelles 1629) n'a longtemps été connu que comme le maît…re de Rubens. Depuis quelques décennies, le regain des études emblématiques a remis à l'honneur ses recueils à succès : Emblemata Horatiana, Amorum Emblemata et Amoris Divini Emblemata. Mais certains de ses ouvrages plus confidentiels restent encore largement méconnus. Tel est le cas des Physicae et theologicae conclusiones (1621), un petit opuscule d'une vingtaine de pages publié dans des circonstances mystérieuses, qui se propose rien moins que de résoudre « par des notes et des figures » le problème de la prédestination et du libre arbitre un sujet alors brûlant, qui a d'ailleurs valu à l'auteur des problèmes avec l'Inquisition. Mais l'intérêt de l'opuscule va bien au-delà de l'enjeu théologique : par l'invention d'un langage visuel inédit et déroutant (à mi-chemin entre le géométrique et le figuratif, entre le diagramme et l'emblème), ainsi que par plusieurs chapitres explicitement consacrés aux pouvoirs des images et de l'imagination, l'ouvrage offre une étonnante clé de lecture à l'ensemble de l'uvre de Vaenius, et constitue en même temps un témoignage frappant de la créativité d'une époque en pleine mutation épistémologique. La présente édition propose une reproduction en fac-similé de cet opuscule rarissime ainsi que, pour la première fois, une traduction intégrale en langue française. Le texte est précédé d'une introduction nourrie, fruit d'une collaboration entre cinq chercheurs croisant des approches historiques, littéraires, artistiques et sémiotiques. Les Conclusiones sont ainsi remises dans le contexte de leur époque, au cur des querelles théologiques mais aussi au croisement de deux courants de pensée majeurs qui ont imprégné la réflexion de Vaenius, le néo-stoïcisme de Juste Lipse et l'alchimie de Paracelse ; dans un second temps, elles sont étudiées en profondeur dans leur rapport particulier aux images, qui apparaissent à la fois comme le moyen et l'objet de la démonstration proposée. Enfin, l'ouvrage se clôture par une série d'outils facilitant la consultation de l'ensemble : trois index (des noms propres, des passages bibliques, des notions françaises et latines) ainsi qu'une abondante bibliographie.

One of the most famous books of emblems of the seventeenth century, designed and illustrated by the Flemish painter and art theorist Otto van Veen (1550-1629). First printed in quarto format in 1607. The Dutch verses are by A. Jansen van Ter Goes. Van Veen had studied for seven years under Federigo Zuccari at Rome. Settling in Antwerp in 1593, he began painting for the churches and public buildings, and for several years, from 1596 to 1600, numbered Rubens among his pupils. His work attracted the admiration and patronage of the Archduke Albert, who succeeded the Prince of Parma in the government of the Low Countries. He published three other emblem books, 'Amorum Emblemata' (1608), 'Amoris Divini Emblemata' (1615) and 'Emblemata Sive Sybola' (1624). Not in Mills College Check List or Riedel-Horatiana.

Ottimo esemplare su carta forte, alcune pagg. arrossate. Prima edizione.Amorum Emblemata fu pubblicato nel 1608 ad Anversa da Hieronymus Verdussen in tre diverse versioni poliglotte: una in latino, olandese e francese, una in latino, italiano e francese e una in latino, inglese e italiano. Il fratello di Rubens, Philip Rubens, che era uno studioso di lettere classiche, scrisse la prefazione a questo libro in latino. Le massime sull'amore che accompagnano e interpretano le immagini sono per lo pi? tratte da Ovidio. Rivolti ai giovani, gli emblemi descrivono l'amore come una forza irresistibile a cui bisogna obbedire per ottenere la felicit? L'Amorum emblemata divenne nel XVII secolo uno dei libri pi? influenti dell'epoca, non solo come modello per altri libri di emblemi fiamminghi/olandesi e stranieri, ma anche come fonte di ispirazione per molti artisti in altri campi.Praz 524: "Questo libro Ë tra i pi? popolari della letteratura emblematica" e Landwehr VI, 744: "uno dei primi libri di emblemi d'amore" Funck 404.

Van Veen fu artista e umanista, assai colto protagonista nella pubblicazione di libri di emblemi, tra cui i Quinti Horatii Flacci emblemata (1607), Amorum emblemata (1608), Amoris divini emblemata (1615) e Emblemata sive symbola (1624). Le sue opere influenzarono lo sviluppo del genere dei libri di emblemi.Una delle prime opere di emblemata del Vaenius fu, come scritto, il Quinti Horatii Flacci Emblemata pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1607 ad Anversa dall'editore Hieronymus Verdussen. CostituÏ un significativo sviluppo nella progettazione e concettualizzazione dei libri di emblemi, nonchÈ nell'ottimizzazione del loro impatto didattico. Trasponendo le opere del poeta romano Orazio in immagini innovative attraverso stampe di elevata qualit? tecnica, l'opera poteva essere utilizzata per la meditazione filosofica e morale. Il Quinti Horatii Flacci Emblemata fu ampiamente diffuso durante il XVII e il XVIII secolo e fu copiato e piratato in Francia, Spagna, Italia e Inghilterra venendo persino utilizzato per l'istruzione di un futuro re in Francia, nonchÈ come libro illustrato di riferimento per la decorazione di interni.

Add to basketFirst and only edition of one of the lesser-known emblem books by the Dutch painter and poet Otto Vaenius (1556-1629). It contains a diverse selection of emblems, which, according to the title, were meant for princes, clergymen, military men and others. Each emblem is accompanied by a motto in Latin above and short captions in L…atin and French can be found on the accompanying letterpress pages.Today Vaenius is best known as a teacher of Peter Paul Rubens and for his role in the development of the genre of emblemata, in particular the love emblems. His Amorum Emblemata is "one of the most important Dutch emblematical works. It firmly established Vaenius as a leading emblematist after his glorious beginning with the famous moral-philosophical neo-stoic Emblemata Horatiana (1607)" (Van der Weij).Browned throughout with a few small spots. Binding rubbed along the extremities, otherwise in good condition.l Landwehr, Emblem and fable books 840; Praz, p. 526; cf.

Add to basketAttractive copy of a splendidly illustrated edition combining Otto Vaenius's Quinti Horatii Flacci Emblemata and Le Roy Sieur de Gomberville's La doctrine des Moeurs, tiree de la philosophie des Stoiques. Pierre Daret had made the emblems in De Gomberville's work based on Vaenius's, enlarging and slightly improving them after th…e latest fashion. The Brussels publisher had probably acquired Daret's plates, and used them again in the present edition, returning the authorship to Vaenius, while also retaining De Gomberville's instructive comments. In this perfect combination of Vaenius' educational emblems and Gomberville's moral doctrine based on stoic philosophers and explained for the instruction of youth, the quotations from Horace made into emblems became popular again.Slightly browned with some marginal thumbing.

Add to basketHardcover. The Batavische oft oude Hollandtsche oorloghe teghen de Romeynen (1612) by Otto van Veen, with engravings by Antonio Tempesta, visually narrates Tacitus' account of the Batavian revolt, framing it as a heroic struggle for freedom. The book played a key role in shaping Dutch national identity by linking the ancient Bat…avians to the Republic's own fight against foreign domination.Oblong half leather binding with some wear. 36 good quality engravings with text in Dutch and Latin, signed A. Tempesta = Antonio Tempesta (1555-1630). Battle between the Dutch and the Romans based on the stories of Tacitus. De text is by Otto Vaenius, Otto van Veen and is based on Tacitus historian work.[NL] Oblong, half leren band uit de tijd, (2) 27 pag. tekst en 36 gravures, elk met 6 of 8 regels onderschrift in het Nederlands en Latijn, gesigneerd A. Tempesta. De platen van Antonio Tempesta (1555-1630) tonen de gevechten tussen de Hollanders en de Romeinen, gebaseerd op de verhalen van Tacitus. Plaat 1 is gedateerd 1611. De achterzijden van de 36 prenten zijn blanco. Er bestaan ook edities waarbij de tekst van Van Veen op de achterzijden van de prenten is gedrukt. De prenten in dit exemplaar zijn goed van druk. Funck 404. De beelden tonen iconische momenten van de opstand zoals Civilis die het land onder water laat lopen, een bekende tactiek van de Bataven onder leiding van Julius Civilis, om te Romeinen tegen te houden. De tekst is grotendeels gebaseerd op Tacitus' Histories. De Bataafse opstand (Revolt of the Batavi) speelde zich af in het gebied dat nu Nederland is, De Lage Landen met name in de provincie Germania Inferior, in de jaren 69-70 na Christus. Julius Civilis speelde een centrale rol, als leider van de opstand. De opstand begon met kleine provocaties en escaleerde, mede onder invloed van de onrust binnen het Romeinse rijk (het "Vierkeizerjaar" 69 n.C.), en de afname van centrale controle. De prentenserie werd gebruikt in latere eeuwen als inspiratie voor kunstenaars, toneelstukken, poëzie, etc. Bijvoorbeeld Vondel gebruikte Van Veen's werk als bron voor zijn tragedie De Batavische Gebroeders.

Contemporary vellum, paneled in blind with raised bands; (title thumb-soiled, worming to lower margins worst at final few quires; modern endpapers, hinges stren…gthened, upper joint cracked at head and foot, covers slightly bowed). Otto Vaenius was a painter, draughtsman, and humanist flourishing in Brussels in the late 16th and early 17th century. He is known for running a large studio in Antwerp, producing several emblem books, and for being Peter Paul Rubens's teacher from 1594 to 1598. Horatian emblem books were received with resounding enthusiasm in the early modern period. The large and complex symbolic images meant to relay the basic precepts of humanist morality and celebrate Horatian virtues in society. Copies of this book were pirated by authors in Holland, France, Spain, Italy and England. This 1612 reprint of the original 1607 publication may be such an edition with explanatory text printed in Spanish, Dutch, Italian and French in the lower portion of preceding page.
