Description:
The book from Russian Imperial Library of Nicoulaus II. The proposed articles were written at different times and on different occasions, but their protagonist invariably remained that motley complex of stratifications of our Russian public, which is known under the general name - the intelligentsia: moderate and revolutionary; fussing about cheese artels and dreaming of world reorganization; following the representatives of the propertied society - in the construction of life, and composing its own - party construction, as an antithesis to this construction; the intelligentsia, gravitating towards the peasantry, and the intelligentsia, with the proletariat at the center of their political plans and socialist prospects.

Description:
Brikner Alexander Gustavovich (1834-1896) - Russian historian of German origin. Brikner's study "The History of Peter the Great" became the first popular science essay in Russian historiography about the era and personality of Peter I, based on the latest research in historical thought.The History of Peter the Great is divided into six books. Each part covers a separate topic: the personality of the reforming tsar and his associates, the first years of independent rule, administrative and legislative reforms, and the foreign policy of Peter I.The main scientific interest of Alexander Brikner was the turn of Russia in its development towards Europe - therefore, the era of Peter the Great was of paramount interest to him.The value of the publication also lies in the rich illustrative material related to the Petrine era. The reproduction of drawings, engravings and documents was specially undertaken for this edition, with strict adherence to all the details of the originals, which was necessary to… Read More

BASILEAE: APUD NIC. EPISCOPIUM IUN., 1558. In 16. Dim. 17x12 cm. Pp. 32 (n.n.)+350+2 (n.n.). Rara edizione del 1558 di quest'opera scritta da Cristophe Longueil (1488-1522) umanista francescano. Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità. Nella prima parte la sua vita, poi l'epistolario. Numerose note manoscritte all'interno. Marca editoriale all'ultima carta. Titolo manoscritto al taglio inferiore.

LUGDUNI: APUD SEB. GRYPHIUM, 1548. In 16. Dim. 17x11 cm. Pp. 402+(14). Edizione del 1548 di questa nota opera letteraria scritta da Adriano Castellesi (ca 1485-1521) nato a Corneto (antico nome di Tarquinia) detto anche Adriano da Corneto. Castellesi fu grechista, ebraista, autore di poemetti, opere di stile, grammatiche e filosofico-teologiche. Espertissimo di affari, si arricchì enormemente destando in tal modo l'invidia di Cesare Borgia che tentò di avvelenarlo. Andato in esilio e ritornato in patria all'avvento di Leone X, dovette ritornarvi perchè accusato di aver preso parte alla congiura del Cardinale Petrucci. Da questo momento in poi non si sa più nulla di lui: sembra che sia stato assassinato a scopo di furto da uno dei suoi servitori. Il volume è un'opera didattica latina che riporta termini utilizzati in sentenze classiche latine. Alla fine risulta molto interessante il poema sulla caccia organizzata dal Cardinale Ascanio Sforza nei pressi… Read More
