About This Item

1658. relié. DeCollection. Amsterlodami, ex Officina Elzeviriana, 1658. In/24 (13 x 6.5 cm) en plein veau postérieur tacheté, dos lisse à joli décor doré en écailles et pièce de titre rouge, tranches rouges, page de titre entièrement illustrée, bandeaux, lettrines historiées, cul de lampe, 333 p., 2 ff. (chronologia). Petit manque en coiffe inférieure ; mors partiellement ouverts ; coins usés ; manque de papier en page de garde finale ; rares rousseurs. Saint Sulpice-Sévère né en Aquitaine vers 363 et décédé au cours du premier quart du Ve siècle est un historien et un ecclésiastique de langue latine. Il suivit d'abord la carrière du barreau, devint avocat à Bordeaux. Suite à la mort de sa femme, vers 392, il se retira en ascète, aux environs de Biterrae (Béziers). On présume qu'il s'était fait prêtre et qu'il fut disciple de saint Martin. Son ouvrage principal est une chronique appelée aussi l’Histoire sacrée, en deux livres, qui s'étend de la création du monde à l'an 410, et dont le style élégant et concis lui a valu le nom de Salluste chrétien. Il rédigea également une Vie de saint Martin, ouvrage qui fut très populaire au Moyen Âge. 24 mo full spoted calf, smooth gilt spine with red label, red edges, woodcut title page, head & tail-pieces, 3 ornamented initials. Flaws : small loss on the bottom tip, joints partially cracked, rubbed corners ; lack of paper on terminal blank ; rare foxing.
