Description:
1566 Plutarch Moralia Greek Philosophy Essays Oracles Superstition Sagundinus

'Moralia' is one of only two surviving works of Greek philosopher Plutarch. While not as widely known or recognized as 'Parallel Lives,' 'Moralia' is still a rather important work. It is a collection of seventy-eight various essays and transcribed speeches each of which provide an understanding of Roman and Greek life in the 1st-century AD. These essays have been known to make a significant impact on Enlightenment thinkers such as Montaigne. The list of topics covered in 'Moralia' is quite varied but all fall into the category of self-improvement or cultural improvement. Such topics include how to educate children, how to teach and learn virtue, the value of friendship, validity of oracles and superstition, causes of natural phenomena, and the talkativeness of women!

This rare, mid-16th-century edition of Plutarch's 'Moralia' was translated out of the Greek and into Latin by Nicolaus Sagundinus.

Description:
1582 1ed Girolamo Muzio Battaglia Defense of Italian Language Literature Venice

Girolamo Muzio was a 16th-century Venetian author known for his works written in Italian. Perhaps his best Italian work was his 'Battaglia' – a book written to defend the use of vernacular Italian when it comes to language usage in prose and literature. This book contains numerous letters to Italian figureheads pressing the matter of not using Latin as the main written and publishing language.

Description:
1538 GREEK Comedies Aristophanes Ancient Theatre Athens Philosophy Divo Venice

"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever."
― Aristophanes
Aristophanes was an ancient Athenian Greek playwright, remembered for his comedy plays and examples of drama known as Old Comedy. Writing during the 4th-century BC, Aristophanes was lesser-known than other Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. Aristophanes' plays were written for festivals in Athens and the Theatre of Dionysus.
This exceedingly rare 16th-century edition was collected and edited by Andrea Divo, who was known for his important translations of Greek classical authors.

Verrius Flaccus was a 1st century Roman grammarian who published the very first alphabetical Latin dictionary. This work was notable for becoming the basis for Sextus Pompeius Festus's 'Lexicon', a work that was edited and compiled sometime during the 2nd century. This work is a collection of Latin words in which Flaccus and Festus provide the etymology of words, definitions, use in language, and references in Roman mythology.
This 1575 edition was edited by French scholar Joseph Scaliger. Scaliger includes commentary on notes on various lesser Roman gods as well as commentary on the orations of Cicero.
