Lot 163 | Isocrates's Orationes
Valeur estimée
$ 7 000 – 9 000
Georgios Gennadios's copy of the editio princeps of the speeches of Isocrates, illuminated with white vine initials—"very beautifully executed … excessively rare and valuable" (Moss). Isocrates was a famous orator of ancient Athens, and founder of a rival school to Plato's Academy. This edition is the work of the great scholar Demetrius Chalkondylas, who came to Italy in 1447 and, after spending much of his career in Florence, moved to Milan in 1492 where he was associated with the Greek productions of the Scinzenzeler press. This book was the first product of that collaboration, with Greek types based on those of Bonus Accursius. It is "something of a notorious case in the history of bibliography since in 1535 there were still unsold copies, and it was decided to print a fresh title and colophon pages in order to offer to the unsuspecting public what passed for a second edition" (Wilson). This copy, in its first issue and with charming marginalia and illuminated initials, is previously from the collection of the luminary of the Modern Greek Enlightenment, Georgios Gennadios. His son, Joannes, donated his own library to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, now named for him. Only two other copies are recorded at auction by RBH in the last 50 years. Goff I-210; BMC VI 767; BSB-Ink I-646; Bod-inc I-042; ISTC ii00210000. See Moss p. 110; Proctor, The Printing of Greek in the 15th Century, pp. 70-72; Wilson, From Byzantium to Italy.
