[Elzevir is the name of the celebrated family of Dutch booksellers, publishers, and printers of the 17th and early 18th centuries. The duodecimo series of "Elzevirs" have become very famous and very desirable among bibliophiles. Although it appears the family was involved with the book trade as early as the 16th century, it is only known for its work in some detail beginning with Lodewijk Elzevir (also called Louis). The family ceased printing in 1712. All three volumes offered here show the famous Elsevir "Tree" printers trademark, as can be clearly seen in our second Image]. (P.S.

A scarce printing of the works of Tacitus. VOLUME II ONLY. The House of Elzevir was an influential Dutch family of printers and booksellers active from approximately 1583 to 1712. Rising to prominence in the early 17th Century, they are best remembered starting with the printed works of Lodewijk (Louis) Elzevir (c. 1540-1617), along with pieces produced by his son, Bonaventura (1583-1652), and other pieces by Abraham (1592-1652), and Isaac (1596-1651). Among the most prominent and sought-after works are Two New Sciences by Galileo, who was suppressed by religious authorities at the time, and The Republics, a series of geographical and historical accounts of individual European countries that are considered a forerunner to modern travel guides. Elzevir family members also produced finely bound duodecimo (12mo) editions, which are additionally sought after by bibliophiles. A wonderful piece for restoration and preservation.

Condition: Buono (Good). 0. Cm. 14,5, pp. (40) 373 (1). Frontespizio in rosso e nero con bel marchio tip. elzeviriano. Testo latino intercalato da frammenti in arabo, ebraico, greco e gotico. Legatura antica (verosimilmente inglese) in piena pelle con titoli e filetti in oro al dorso, piatti inquadrati da elegante cornice impressa a secco. Sottile fenditura ad una cerniera, mancanza di pochi mm. ad una cuffia, alcune lievi spellature, peraltro esemplare ben conservato. John Selden (1584-1654), definito forse enfaticamente da Grozio la "gloria dell'Inghilterra", è ritenuto ad ogni modo uno dei più originali intellettuali del Seicento inglese. Le sue posizioni sulla condizione ebraica, la difesa della libertà di stampa e l'elaborazione di un sistema di diritto naturale incardinato sulle leggi ebraiche, gli procurarono inimicizie politiche, l'avversione della chiesa anglicana e soprattutto numerose incarcerazioni. Quest'opera, di grande importanza nell'ambito della storia delle religioni e delle civiltà , si propone come un'originalissima riflessione sulle diverse divinità nelle tradizioni e nei rituali di Europa, Africa, Siria, Persia, Egitto ed ovviamente pone in primo piano l'interpretazione ebraica. Da segnalare inoltre le frequenti digressioni di taglio esoterico, soprattutto in relazione alle divinità egizie. Seconda edizione, non comune e ricercata. Cfr.

En 1613, Erpenius publicó su primera Grammatica arabica, un manual para quienes se iniciaban en el estudio del árabe, que imprimió Franciscus Raphelengius, hijo. Pero, a partir de 1615, Erpenius estableció un pequeño taller propio en el que comenzó a imprimir sus trabajos con algunos juegos de caracteres árabes que había conseguido. Tras un nuevo viaje para buscar documentos y reunirse con arabistas, en 1617 recaló en Paris, donde sus amigos maronitas acababan de publicar una Grammática arabica maronitarum (en la que le citaban)(6). A la vista de esta gramática, junto con lo aprendido al editar la Grammatica arabica dicta Gjarvmia(7), decidió revisar su manual de aprendizaje del árabe por completo. Al ir a publicarla, como en 1619 Raphelengius cerró su imprenta y puso a la venta sus materiales, Erpenius le compró los tipos árabes y algunos hebreos para juntarlos con los que ya disponía y, con ellos, publicó la revisión de su gramática en su propio taller(8), dedicándosela a sus amigos maronitas, en 1620, el mismo año que los Elsevier fueron contratados como impresores de la universidad. Erpenius falleció de cólera en 1624 y su mujer vendió los juegos de tipos a Isaac Elsevier, que los revendió a su hermano Buenaventura y a su sobrino Abraham, quienes vieron cómo la Universidad pasó a incluir, entre las claúsulas de renovación de su contrato como impresores universitarios, que mantuviesen siempre los juegos de caracteres de Erpenius en la sede de Leiden de su empresa editorial. Y fue con esos caracteres con los que los Elsevier imprimieron en 1628 esta edición que ofrecemos de la Grammatica arabica, que fue la segunda y última vez que se publicó (ver nuestra ref C-0648). Erpenius comenzó este Rudimenta con unos consejos dirigidos a quien se inicia en el estudio del árabe, los Consilium de studio arabico foeliciter instituendo(10), estructurando la gramática, a continuación, en cinco partes: los elementos de la lengua, el verbo (la parte de maor tañaño), los nombres, las partículas (el más breve) y la sintaxis. Para poder desarrollar esa teoría, le añadió unos ejercicios de gramática basados en el cap. 64 del Corán, que primero traduce y luego desmenuza a lo largo de las útimas cincuenta páginas.- // (1) Sobre sus obras, véanse las voces 'John Hesronita' y 'Gabriel Sionita', preparadas por Joseph Moukarzel, en David Thomas (et al., eds.): Christian-Muslim Relations: A Bibliographical History.- Leiden: Brill, 2009-2019, Vol.9 (2017): Western and Southern Europe (1600-1700), pp. 690-694 y 722-742, respectivamente.

John Selden (1584-1654). Juriste et humaniste anglais né à Salvington (Sussex). Diplômé d'Oxford, John Selden est admis à Inner Temple en 1604 et appelé au barreau en 1612 ; mais il ne plaide que rarement. Après des travaux consacrés à l'histoire du droit et aux antiquités orientales, son « Histoire des dîmes » (« History of Tithes », 1618), dont les conclusions indisposent le clergé, lui vaut d'être remarqué ; il y soutient l'idée que les dîmes ne sont peut-être pas dues en vertu de la loi divine (iure divino), mais du droit humain. En matière religieuse, Selden demeurera fidèle aux thèses de l'érastianisme (doctrine de l'unité du pouvoir au profit de l'État, du nom du théologien helvétique Thomas Lieber, dit Éraste, 1523-1588). L'Église, au même titre que d'autres institutions, doit être soumise à l'autorité du pouvoir civil. « Ils sont également fous, disait Selden, ceux qui soutiennent que les évêques sont iure divino, et doivent être à ce titre maintenus, et ceux qui disent qu'ils sont si antichrétiens qu'ils doivent être supprimés. Tout doit être laissé à la discrétion de l'État. » In « Encyclopedia Universalis ». en latin et autres 40 + 373 pages Plein veau, dos à 4 nerfs, caissons ornés d'une fleur et titre gravés or.
