1571 Fabricius Virorum Illustrium Famous Lives ROME Josephus Tacitus Strabo

"Death comes to all, But great achievements raise a monument, Which shall endure until the sun grows old."
– Georg Fabricius

Georg Fabricius was an important 16th-century Protestant German author who is responsible for some of the best editions of Greek and Roman classics such as Terence, Virgil, and Horace. And while his commentary on classical literature is without a doubt his best work, he is also known for a study on the history of Christian religion. He published a number of sacred poems as well in which he sought to completely avoid all traces of paganism.

This 1571 printing of 'Virorum Illustrium' includes many of his sacred poems, but is desirable for his biographical sketches of notable church fathers, historians, and Roman rulers including:
·
Africanus
·
Appian
·
Florus
·
Josephus

1588 1st ed Pliny the Younger Epistles Panegyricus Vesuvius ROME Early ChurchPliny the Younger, one of the most notable 1st-century historians, is best remembered for his written works and orations. His best-known, and still widely popular work is his 'Epistles', which was a series of personal letters to other Roman figures. They give an important view of Roman everyday life as well as an interesting perspective on Pliny's views against Christianity. However, the most important epistles concern Pliny's account of the Mount Vesuvius eruption. Tacitus, a friend of Pliny, wanted to know more about the death of his uncle, Pliny the Elder, and the eruption itself.This 1588 first edition was published by Jean Richer and includes a dedicatory epistle from Claude MignaultItem number: #9875Price: $599PLINY the YoungerCai Plinii Secundi Novocomensis, Epistolarum libri decem.

1573 Ragione d'Alcune Cose Castelvetro on Annibal Caro Poetry Italian Language

Lodovico Castelvetro was a 16th-century Italian scholar who was notable for his commentary, notes, and criticisms of other authors. His commentary on Aristotle was his most famous work; however, he was highly critical of fellow Italian writer Annibal Caro.

1589 Ammiani Renaissance Preacher Manual anti-Lutheran Augustinian Italian Monks

Sebastian Ammiani was a 16th-century Augustinian monk from Fano who made important contributions to the development of preachers in Italy. Ammiani, a hermit, was notably not a preacher himself, but he wrote a book entitled 'Discorsi Predicabili per Documento' in which he taught preachers how to better at giving their speeches. This book was also incredibly anti-Lutheran. Certain passages of this book included picturesque phrases and paragraphs detailing the devastation that Lutheran preachers had brought to the world.
