Description

Second edition, after the 1619 edition, typographically excellent of the collection of Paroimiai (Greek Proverbs) by the Byzantine humanist and copyist Michael Apostolius (1420ca-1478), who lived and taught between Crete and Italy, protected by Cardinal Bessarion, after the fall of Constantinople. The text of the proverbs is presented in two columns respectively in the original Greek and in the Latin translation by the humanist, philologist and Greek scholar Pierre Pantin (1556-1611). A short collection of Proverbs collected by Patriarch Gregory of Cyprus and the Notae in Paroemias Michaelis Apostolii compiled by Pierre Pantin follow. On the frontispiece, a beautiful typographic mark of the publishers Johann and Daniel Elsevier
