Title: De Thucydidis historia Iudicium, 1560
Author: Dionysius of Halicarnassus; Andreas Dudith
Publisher: Venetiis, Paolo Manuzio
Condition: Good

A mid 16th century and first Aldine edition of Dionysius of Halicarnassus’ critical study on the diction and composition of Thucydides. The Greek edition was issued a quarter century later in Sylburg’s edition of 1586.

The translation is the work of the famed Hungarian Protestant humanist, Andreas Dudith (1533-1589), who during his stay in Italy became a close friend of Paolo Manutio, the printer of this work. All quotations from Thucydides, which are occasionally quite extensive, are printed in the original Greek, followed by Dudith’s Latin translations.

One volume in quarto, 94 leaves

This volume is in good shape, with rubbing and wear to the binding, with a section of leather lacking to the front cover. There is some scattered staining throughout.
