On the front flyleaf manuscript notes of the bookseller Giuseppe Martini (1870-1944; "During the most memorable years of the antiques trade, especially between 1920 and 1930," writes the italian author Giancarlo Petrella in The Sun , "the great organizers of the most solemn sales eagerly awaited the arrival of Giuseppe Martini. If he was there, success was guaranteed. And he was there, almost always. He arrived with his good-natured, distracted air, his jacket dangling and his pockets bulging with books. You could hear him, as he browsed the books, skewering from memory the dynasties of printers and shelves of incunabula; reciting without error the numbers of signatures, printing dates, and sacramental formulas of explicit." Martini began his career as an expert in antique books in Lucca, but then moved first to New York and finally to Lugano).The collection includes:- Iusti Lipsi postremus de Tacito eiusque utilitate iudicium (Justus Lipsius was one of the most influential intellectuals of the late Renaissance, known for his role in reviving and reshaping Stoicism for an early modern audience. Born in Overijse, in the Spanish Netherlands, he was educated by Jesuits and developed an early mastery of classical Latin, which became the foundation of his scholarly career. Lipsius held academic positions at major European universities, including Leuven and Leiden, where he gained a reputation as a leading humanist philologist. His work is characterized by a deep engagement with classical Roman authors like Tacitus and Seneca, however unlike purely antiquarian scholars, Lipsius aimed to make ancient thought relevant to contemporary issues, particularly the political instability and religious conflicts of his time.)- Ab excessu Divi Augusti Annalium (book I-VI and XI-XVI)- Ab excessu Neroni Historia (book I-V)- De situ, moralibus et populis germaniae libellus- Iulii Agricolae vita- Fabii Quinctiliani, ut videtur, dialogus an sui saecli oratores antiquis et quare concedant C. Cornelio Tacito vulgo inscriptusTacitus was one of the most important historians of ancient Rome, as well as a senator and public official who lived under the Flavian and early Antonine emperors. His political career?culminating in the consulship in 97 CE?gave him direct insight into the workings of imperial power, which profoundly shaped his historical writing. Tacitus is best known for his major works, the Annals and the Histories, where he reconstructs the history of the Roman Empire from the death of Augustus through the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors and into the Flavian period. Alongside these, he wrote shorter but highly influential texts such as the Germania, an account of the customs of the Germanic peoples, and the Agricola, a biography of his father-in-law that also serves as a reflection on Roman rule in Britain. His historiography is marked by a dense, epigrammatic style, rich in rhetorical compression and moral nuance. Tacitus is less concerned with providing a neutral chronicle than with uncovering the ethical. Book.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (c4 BC AD 65), usually known mononymously as Seneca, was a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome, a statesman, dramatist, and in one work, satirist, from the post-Augustan age of Latin literature. Justus Lipsius (Joest Lips or Joost Lips; 1547 1606) was a Flemish Catholic philologist, philosopher, and humanist. Lipsius wrote a series of works designed to revive ancient Stoicism in a form that would be compatible with Christianity. The most famous of these is De Constantia (On Constancy). His form of Stoicism influenced a number of contemporary thinkers, creating the intellectual movement of Neostoicism. He taught at the universities in Jena, Leiden, and Leuven. The Plantin Press at Antwerp was one of the focal centers of the fine printed book in the 16th century. Christophe Plantin (c. 1520-1589) of Touraine was trained as a bookbinder. He fled from Paris where at least one printer had recently been burned at the stake for heresy, and went to Antwerp. By 1555 he began to print books as a profession in Antwerp. Plantin took on an assistant, Jan Moretus (1543-1610), who could read Greek and Latin and could write correspondence in several modern languages. He became Plantin's business manager, son-in-law, and, eventually, his successor in the Plantin printing press. Under Moretus' management, the company focused on 12mo format for text-books, doing away with the smaller handbook (enchiridion), favored under his predecessor. Moretus' works and archives are held in the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp. FORN-SHELF-0477-BB-2501-HK2262.
