1568 Frankfurt am Main
CHRONOLOGIA & SIGONII SCHOLIA (TOMUS II)
A substantial Renaissance Livy companion volume: a learned “toolkit” built around Livy’s Roman history, gathering chronology, scholia, epitomes, and antiquarian guides to ancient Rome into a single folio sammelband. Rather than the large narrative woodcut “picture-book” Livy, this is the scholar’s tome — dense, practical, and wonderfully representative of how sixteenth-century humanists read (and argued over) Rome.
Bound contents include Joachim Grellius’s Chronologia (keying Livy to Roman consular fasti and the Tabulae Capitolinae tradition), Carlo Sigonio’s Scholia (critical notes and emendations on Livy and the epitomes), Henricus Glareanus’s annotations, plus associated humanist/antiquarian texts such as Pomponius Laetus (De antiquitatibus urbis Romae), Marcus Antonius Sabellicus (oration in praise of history/Livy), and a brief compendium of Roman history. A superb period witness to the Renaissance “re-construction” of Rome from conflicting ancient authorities.
(with texts/notes by Joachim Grellius, Carlo Sigonio, Henricus Glareanus, Lorenzo Valla, Beatus Rhenanus, Marcus Antonius Sabellicus, and others, as printed).
By Titus Livius
Author Bio: Titus Livius (Livy) (59/64 BC–AD 17) was Rome’s great narrative historian, author of Ab urbe condita (“From the founding of the City”). His work became a cornerstone of European historical imagination — and, by the Renaissance, a proving-ground for philology, chronology, and historical method.
Synopsis: This volume embodies the sixteenth-century impulse to treat Roman history as something to be repaired: dates aligned, magistracies reconciled, variant readings compared, and topography anchored to surviving monuments and texts. It’s a compact library of Livian “infrastructure” — exactly the sort of apparatus that powered early modern scholarship.
