ARISTOTELOUS TOU STAGEIRITOU TA SŌZOMENA / OPERUM ARISTOTELIS STAGIRITAE PHILOSOPHORUM OMNIUM LONGÈ PRINCIPIS
Tomus I–II
A handsome, complete two-volume Aristotle in parallel Greek and Latin, edited by the exiled Aristotelian scholar Giulio Pace (Julius Pacius). This is the first edition of Pacius’s collected bilingual (“Parallelausgabe”) Aristotle, a major late-Renaissance scholarly tool: Greek text set with corrected/updated Latin interpretations, plus fragments from works then considered lost and extensive indices for navigating the corpus.
By Aristotle, Giulio Pace, Julius Pacius
Author Bio: Aristotle (384–322 BCE), student of Plato and foundational figure for Western philosophy and science, whose surviving works shaped logic, metaphysics, ethics, politics, rhetoric, and natural philosophy for two millennia.
Editor Bio (Giulio Pace / Julius Pacius): Pacius was a prominent Italian jurist and Aristotelian scholar. After pressure from the Inquisition he fled Italy, became associated with Reformed centres including Geneva, and is especially known for his work on Aristotle—editing and translating Greek texts for early-modern readers.
Provenance: Bookplate of Lord Sandys
Synopsis: A quintessential “scholar’s Aristotle” of the confessional Renaissance: dense, practical, and designed for study. The Greek and Latin appear together for close comparison; the set is rounded out by indices of authors writing on Aristotle, their works, and a substantial subject index, making it a working reference library in two portable volumes.
Format: Vellum, Octavo (Standard) (8vo 6 × 9 in 152 × 229 mm )
Note: Binding/size selection follows standard bibliographic conventions and is approximate; exact measurements may vary.
Language: Anceint Greel/Latin
Published By: Guillelmus Laemarius / Guillaume de Laimarie., Geneva
