Lot 254 | Suetonius Tranquillus, C.
VD 16, S 10102. Proctor 10332. Ritter 2249. Vgl. Hieronymus 154 (zur Titelbordüre). Nicht bei Brunet oder Graesse. - Über das Leben des C. Suetonius Tranquillus besitzen wir nur spärliche Informationen, die wir nur aus dem Rahmen seiner Werke und aus einigen Plinius-Briefen entnehmen können. Im Jahre 121 n. Chr. wurde er in eine Intrige verstrickt und verliess den Hof, da er bei Kaiser Hadrian in Ungnade gefallen war. Die Kaiserbiographien sind seine am besten überlieferten Werke. Darin berichtet er über das Leben der ersten Kaiser Roms, von Caesar über Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian, Titus bis hin zu Domitian. Sie sind nicht in einem einheitlichen Stil geschrieben, was damit zusammen hängen mag, dass er ein Universalgelehrter am Hof war und Zugang zu vielen Werken hatte. Prinzipiell ist der Stil eher schlicht und frei von Überladungen, letztendlich passte er aber seinen Stil teilweise der Art des jeweiligen Kaisers an, über den er schrieb. - Stellenweise feuchtrandig (vorne stärker) und leicht gebräunt, Titelei angestaubt, hinten etwas stockfleckig, die ersten Blatt mit Eselsohren, teils mit kleinen Fehlstellen in den Ecken. Insgesamt sauberes Exemplar. Alte hs. Besitzvermerke auf Titel und Vorsatz. Einige Marginalien und Anstreichungen von alter Hand. - Contains woodcut border after Urs Graf on titlepage. Flexible vellum binding using material of a medieval manuscript. Binding with traces of use, imperfection on spine modern renewed. Partly some waterstain in the margins (quite heavy at the beginning) and moderate browning, shopsoiling on title, some foxing at the end, the first few pages with creases, partly small imperfections in the corners. Handwritten names on title and fly-leaf, some old marginalia.
