II. volume. de. TITE-LIVE PADOUAN. Containing the summaries of the Second Decade & the Third Decade in which the Second Punic War waged by Hannibal against the Romans is described. Jacob Stoer ; 1582. Original limp vellum, partial ties, manuscript title to the spine. Binding worn, soiled, lacking endpaper. Occasional toning. Title page trimmed at the margins, occasional minor stains. Woodcut vignette engraved on the title page and a portrait of Tite Live on page 16,. Complete. Very rare humanist edition that presents, in translation and summary, the books of Tite-Live devoted to the crucial period of the Second Punic War. Antoine de La Faye, scholar and translator, offers there a French version adapted for cultivated readers of the 16th century, aiming to make the great models of Roman history accessible and to draw political and moral lessons from them. The work highlights the clashes between Rome and Carthage, notably Hannibal’s campaigns, stressing civic virtues, military discipline, and the dangers of imperial ambitions. This Volume II, which covers the Second Decade and the entire Third Decade, illustrates the Renaissance reception of Tite-Live, where Roman history was seen as a mirror for princes and a reservoir of examples for political conduct, and it testifies to French humanists’ wish to transmit antique models in a vernacular language that is rich and elegant. size: 4 1/2 by 6 3/4". Text in French.
