s. n. | Honfleur s.d. (ca 1895) | 14 x 22 cm | une page recto verso s. n. | Honfleur s.d. (ca 1895) | 14 x 22 cm | une page recto verso | Lettre autographe signée adressée à un ami journaliste au Figaro illustré, 28 lignes à l\'encre noire. Trace de pliure inhérente à la mise sous pli, un manque en angle supérieur de la missive sans aucune atteinte au texte. Alphonse Allais doit rendre service à son ami : ""Un peu de patience, mon cher Abel, un peu de patience. Sitôt rentré à Paris, ma première démarche sera pour ton parapluie que je choisirai en soir gorge-pigeon et manche d\'argent. "" ; il se permet donc de solliciter également la gentillesse de son correspondant : ""Et bien, envoie-moi le n° du Figaro illustré d\'il y a un mois ou deux, où il y avait des choses de Toulouse-Lautrec..."" Il achève sa lettre par un sentencieux : ""Donne-moi ta main loyale que je la serre. Ton Alphonse Allais... Bonjour aux amis."" | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Autograph letter signed addressed to a journalist friend at Figaro illustré, 28 lines in black ink. Fold mark inherent to envelope insertion, a lack to upper corner of the letter without any damage to the text. Alphonse Allais must do a favor for his friend: ""Un peu de patience, mon cher Abel, un peu de patience. Sitôt rentré à Paris, ma première démarche sera pour ton parapluie que je choisirai en soir gorge-pigeon et manche d\'argent."" (A little patience, my dear Abel, a little patience. As soon as I return to Paris, my first errand will be for your umbrella which I will choose in pigeon-throat evening silk with a silver handle.); he therefore also allows himself to solicit the kindness of his correspondent: ""Et bien, envoie-moi le n° du Figaro illustré d\'il y a un mois ou deux, où il y avait des choses de Toulouse-Lautrec..."" (Well then, send me the issue of Figaro illustré from a month or two ago, where there were things by Toulouse-Lautrec...) He concludes his letter with a sententious: ""Donne-moi ta main loyale que je la serre. Ton Alphonse Allais... Bonjour aux amis."" (Give me your loyal hand so I may shake it. Your Alphonse Allais... Greetings to friends.) *

DIOGENES LAERTIUS. - Diogenis Laertii De vitis, dogmatibus et apophthegmatibus clarorum philosophorum libri decem, graece et latine.

Leipzig (Lipsiae), Impensis Ioannis Pauli Krausii, Bibliop. Viennens., 1759. (Colophon at the end: \'Lipsiae, Ex officina I.G.I. Breitkopfii\'). 8vo. (XIV),756 (recte 736),(94 index) p. Contemporary calf. 19.5 cm The greatest known source of information about the philosophers of antiquity (Ref: VD18 10213392-008; Hoffmann 1,566; Dibdin 1,504; Moss 1,400/01; Brunet 2,720; Graesse 2,396; Ebert 6177) (Details: Printed in 2 colums, Greek text with facing Latin translation) (Condition: Binding scuffed & chafed, especially at the extremes. Back & boards rubbed. Paper foxing, yellowing and occasionally browning. Right upper corner of the last 80 p. is slightly waterstained. Some small and old ink annotations and underlinings) (Note: The \'Lives and Doctrines of the Philosophers\' of the Greek author Diogenes Laertius, who lived probably in the first half of the third century A.D., is still \'our best indirect source of knowledge for classical philosophy\'. The \'Lives\' comprises both a biographical and a doxographical account, basically focused on Greek thinkers from the 6th to the 3rd century B.C. (from Thales to Epicurus), although references to schools and individuals extend to at least the 2nd century A.D.\' (The Classical Tradition, Cambr. Mass. 2010, p. 271) Diogenes Laertius drew his material from earlier compilations, and his doxographic account offers long excerpts from primary texts not transmitted elsewhere, for example Epicurus\' \'Principal Doctrines\'. Diogenes\' reliability and value differ from passage to passage. Some give invaluable information, other passages offer mere caricature. His approach is not a \'systematic analysis, but rather a eulogistic narrative of the course of ancient philosophy, and of the four main classical schools, the Academy, Peripatetics, Stoics and Epicureans. Anecdotal and perhaps largely apocryphal in nature, still it gave to Renaissance humanists, like Leonardo Bruni, Machiavelli, Erasmus et alii, some conception of ancient philosophy, especially of Platonic and Epicurean thought.\' (Ch.L. Stinger, \'Humanism and the Church Fathers: Ambrogio Traversari (1386-1439) and Christian antiquity in the Italian Renaissance\', Albany 1977, p. 71) § The \'editio princeps\' was published in Basel in 1533. The Latin translation was published much earlier in Rome in 1472. This translation was later revised several times and appears also in this book. It was made by the Italian Hellenist Ambrogio Traversari, also known as Ambrosius Traversari, 1386-1439. Our 1759 edition is a reissue of the edition of 1731 of Longolius, which in turn was a revision of the 1692 edition, which was produced by the Danish philologist Marcus Meibom, or Marcus Meibomius. The edition of 1731 was produced by the German philologist and historian Paulus Daniel Longolius, 1704-1779, from 1735 till his death Rector of the Gymnasium in Hof. He wrote on local history and was an editor of Zedler\'s Universallexikon. He also published three texts of classical authors: \'Plinii epistolae\' (Amsterdam 1734), this Diogenes edition (Curiae, i.e. Hof, Saale, 1739), and a Gellius edition (Curiae, 1741). (ADB 19, 156/57) The 1731 edition contained, besides the Greek text and Latin translation, a preface, commentaries and engraved portraits. Because this edition was out of print, and there was much demand for it, the publisher Paulus Krausius decided to produce this Leipsic edition of 1759, which is in fact a reissue of the 1731 edition of Longolius, omitting however the portraits, the preface and the commentaries, and offering the Greek text, the Latin translation, and 94 pages of indexes. (Praefatio leaf *5 verso and *6 recto) (Provenance: on the front flyleaf in pencil \'RtK\', this is Rijkel ten Kate 1918-2008. He taught classics at the Willem Lodewijk Gymnasium in Groningen. In 1955 he wrote his dissertation: ’Quomodo heroes in Statii Thebaide describantur quaeritur’, on the Thebaid of the Roman poet Statius) (Collation: *8 (minus blank leaf *8), A-3F8 (minus blank leaf 3F8); the pagination jumps between the gatherings 2Y and 2Z from 721 to 741, the catchword on leaf 2Y4 verso is correct)) (Photographs on request)
