About This Item

Stephen Fletcher, for the Clarendon Press, Oxford: 1715., 1715 pp. (14), 182, (18). The very thin paper used to cancel a4 and b4 has deteriorated - completely on a4. Text in Greek with Latin notes. Three engraved portraits have apparently been removed. ** Extensive manuscript translations into English. 8vo. (in 4). [18 5 x 113 mm.] Contemporary full calf binding. Boards tooled in blind with several frames. Cracked at joints. Early ownerships, including: Jacob Nash, Oxford and E.G. Davis, 1847. Dibdin I:487. Aeschine s (Ca. 390?314 B.C.), Athenian orator and polititian, was a great rival of Demosthenes (384??322 B.C.). He rose from humble circumstances and became powerful in politics because of his oratorical gift s. At first he opposed Philip II of Macedon, then later changed sides, arguing that resistance to Macedonian power was useless. Both he and Demosthenes were members of the embassy to Philip in 348 B.C ., and afterward Demosthenes bitterly and baselessly accused Aeschines of accepting Macedonian bribes. He was to have been joined in his action by Timarchus, but Aeschines prevented this by his oratio n Against Timarchus (345 B.C.). Aeschines defended himself well in his oration On the False Legation (342 B.C.)?a title also used by Demosthenes in his accusatory oration. The trouble between the orat ors grew and culminated in a dispute over a gold crown that the orator Ctesiphon proposed should be given Demosthenes in 330 B.C. Aeschines brought suit with Against Ctesiphon. Demosthenes replied wit h his sturdy defense On the Crown. Aeschines lost and was fined, and retired to Asia Minor where, according to Plutarch, he lived as a professional Sophist. This is offered as much for its manuscript interest as for it being an early printing. W120 Language: eng. Hardcover. Fair.
