ISOCRATES (436-338 BCE)
Orationes tres. Cambridge: Thomas Buck and Roger Daniel, 1638.
Rare Cambridge edition of Isocrates’s Orationes, preserved in a strictly contemporary English vellum binding. ESTC lists just a single copy in the US. The three orations, which deal with moral character and the qualities of a king, are among the major works of the great rhetorician Isocrates, founder of the first academy of rhetoric at the Lyceum in Athens. STC 14274.
Octavo (148 x 87mm). Woodcut printer’s device on title within typographic border, woodcut initials. Contemporary English limp vellum, reusing a legal document dated 164[?] (slightly soiled). Provenance: Richard Hilton (contemporary inscription) – early inscriptions of Latin epigrams.
