Paper yellowing) (Note: The greatest contribution of the classical scholar of Italian origin Julius Caesar Scaliger (Giulio Bordone della Scala), 1484-1558, to the history of classical scholarship is of course his brilliant son Joseph Justus Scaliger. In 1524 he moved to France where he became physician to bishop Antonio della Rovere of Agen, and where his son Joseph Justus was born in 1540, the same year in which his 'De causis linguae latinae libri tredecim' was published. This work is among his most important philological works. § A far more comprehensive work is Scaliger's 'Poetices libri septem', posthumously published at Lyon in 1561, which offers his generically organized classifications of kinds of ancient and modern Latin poems, and comparative criticism of ancient and modern poets, recognizing the rivalry and imitation in Greek, Roman and modern writings. It is 'one of the earliest modern attempts to treat the art of poetry in a systematic manner. Here he deals with the different kinds of poems, and the various metres, together with figures of speech and turns of phrase, criticises all the Latin poets ancient and modern, and institutes a detailed comparison between Homer and Virgil to the distinct advantage of Virgil, while the epics of Homer are regarded as inferior to the 'Hero and Leander' of Musaeus. He also declares Seneca inferior to none of the Greeks in majesty. He makes all literary creation depend ultimately on judicious imitation'. (Sandys 2, p. 178) This Genevan edition of 1581 is a reissue of the edition of 1561. This fundamental work remained the standard in matters of Latin poetry well into the 18th century) (Provenance: Engraved armorial bookplate of 'Robert Chambre Vaughan Esq. Burlton Hall, Co. Salop'. Vaughan, Robert-Chambre, esq. of Burlton Hall in the County of Salop, born in 1796, was a graduate of Brasenose College, Oxford. (See for him and his ancestors J. Burke, 'A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland', London 1835, Volume 2, p. 238/242). In 1818 the degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred to him. He died in 1876)(Collation: *8, 2*4, a-z8, A-Z8, Aa-Rr8, Ss4)
