First edition from 1711 of Philargyrius Cantabrigiensis by Jan Cornelis de Pauw with a substantial preface by Jean Le Clerc, a study on Menander and Philemon in a two-part classic binding.
Description from the seller
Rare original edition of this study by Jan Cornelis de Pauw, a Dutch philologist, on the work of Menander and Philemon, Greek poets of New Comedy.
With an important preface by Jean Leclerc or Johannes Clericus (1657-1736), a Geneva Protestant theologian and pastor.
Work divided into two parts with two title pages. Preserved in a sturdy full vellum binding from the period, with a smooth spine decorated with the handwritten title. Mottled edges. In good condition. Shadowed spine and minor stains on the covers without severity. Tiny tear at the head. Neat printing with typographic ornaments and title vignettes. Interior well preserved, with a few scattered foxings, quite rare.
Good specimen.
Jan Cornelis de Pauw was a Dutch philologist born in Utrecht around 1680 and died in 1749.
He becomes a canon in his hometown and dedicates most of his life to work on Greek literature. He publishes this work under the pseudonym of Philargyrius Cantabrigiensis.
