Description
GAZA (Theodore). Institutionis grammaticæ libri quatuor. Paris, Chrétien Wechel, 1529. 4 parts in one volume, in-8, cold-stamped fawn calf, large cold-stamped border and fillets, central finial, three-ribbed spine (Binding of the period). One of the most important treatises on Greek grammar of the Renaissance. New edition of the Latin translation by Jean Vatel, printed in italics opposite the Greek text. Each of the four parts, under separate folios, has its own title decorated with the same wood-engraved frame of coats of arms. The Byzantine humanist Theodore Gaza, who fled Constantinople surrounded by Ottoman forces in 1429, taught Greek at the University of Ferrara from 1447 to 1449 before entering the service of Pope Nicholas V in Rome. He published many important translations of Aristotle and Theophrastus. Binding very worn and spotted with missing parts; foxing and minor spotting not serious, a few marginal worm holes. Brunet, II, 1513 - Moreau, III, n°1774 - Renouard, ICP, V, 395.
