Item description from seller

Iusti Lipsi Opera Omnia Quae Ad Criticam Proprie Spectant: Tam nouiter ab ipso aucta, correcta, digesta. Quorum omnium Index & Ordo post Praefationem. Antverpiae, ex Officini Plantiniana, Apud Ioannem Moretum. 1600 Hardcover, 7 x 10.5 . Bound with bevel-edged wooden boards, covered in original vellum and remains of metal clasps. 5 cords sewn to the boards. Highly decorated vellum is peeled off half the front cover (revealing wooden boards beneath), and a small piece peeled off the back cover. 628 pages + index, etc. Nice white paper, wide margins. Text in Latin and Greek. Very little foxing, some dampstains at the inner margins of a few pages clustered near the front. Nice bold initials and a few woodblock decorations at section headings and on the title page. Front endpapers missing. Justus Lipsius (1547-1606) was a Belgian classical philologist and Humanist, 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 ) in which he advocated a Stoic-inspired ideal of constancy in the face of unpleasant external events, but also carefully distinguished those parts of Stoic philosophy that the orthodox Christian should reject or modify. This modified form of Stoicism influenced a number of contemporary thinkers, creating an intellectual movement that have come to be known as Neostoicism .
