Original perkament 827 pgs. index 163 pgx. Very rare. Etymologicum magnum Sylburg, 1594 voor lexicografie) Friedrich Sylburg (1536 - February 17, 1596) was a German classical scholar. (…) In 1583 he moved to Frankfurt to act as corrector and editor of Greek texts for the enterprising publisher Johann Wechel. To his Frankfurt period belong the editions of Pausanias, Herodotus, Dionysius Halicarnassensis (one of his best pieces of work, highly praised by Carsten Niebuhr), Aristotle, the Greek and Latin sources for the history of the Roman emperors and the Peri syntaxeos of Apollonius Dyscolus. In 1591 he moved to Heidelberg, where he became librarian to the elector palatine [keurvorst van de Palts, CB]. The Wechel series was (Interessant continued by Hieronymus Commelinus (Jerome Commelin) of Heidelberg, for whom Sylburg edited Clement of Alexandria, Justin Martyr, the Etymologicum magnum, the Scriptores de re rustica, the Greek gnomic poets, Xenophon, Nonnus and other works. All Sylburg's editions show great critical power and indefatigable industry; the latter may well have caused his death. Etymologicum Magnum (Greek: (standard abbreviation EM) is the traditional title of a Greek lexical encyclopedia compiled at Constantinople by an unknown lexicographer around 1150 AD. It is the largest Byzantine lexicon and draws on many earlier grammatical, lexical and rhetorical works. Its main sources were two previous etymologica, the so-called Etymologicum Genuinum and the Etymologicum Gudianum. Other sources include Stephanus of Byzantium, the Epitome of Diogenianus, the so-called Lexicon Eulogius' ? George Choeroboscus' Epimerismi ad Psalmos, the Etymologicon of Orion of Thebes, and collections of scholia. The compilator of the Etymologicum Magnum was not a mere copyist; rather he amalgamated, reorganised, augmented and freely modified his source material to create a new and individual work. The editio princeps of the Etymologicum Magnum was published by Zacharias Kallierges (Venice 1499). The most recent complete edition is by Thomas Gaisford (Oxford 1848). A new (uncompleted) edition is in preparation by F. Lasserre and N. Livadaras (under the title Etymologicum Magnum Auctum). Sir John Edwin Sandys, A History of Classical Scholarship, Volume 1, pag. 406: "Hence arose the so-called Etymologicum Magnum, which was founded mainly on the Et. genuinum with additions from the Et. Gudianum and from Stephanus of Byzantium and Tryphon 'on breathings', while it dealt very freely with the Et. gen. by altering the headings and the phraseology, suppressing quotations, adding passages from Homer, and in general aiming at something more than an expanded recension of its original. It was compiled between 1100 and 1250. It was first printed (with many interpolations) by Callierges (1499) who was the first to give the work the name of Et. magnum. It was afterwards edited by Sylburg (1594) and Gaisford (1848)." AANBIEDINGSPRIJS VAN 1495 NU VOOR was een Duits klassiek geleerde. (…) In 1583 verhuisde hij naar Frankfurt om op te treden als corrector en redacteur van Griekse teksten voor de ondernemende uitgever Johann Wechel. Zijn periode Frankfurt behoren de edities van Pausanias, Herodotus, Dionysius Halicarnassensis (een van zijn beste stukken van het werk, zeer geprezen door Carsten Niebuhr), Aristoteles, de Griekse en Latijnse bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Romeinse keizers en de Peri syntaxeos van Apollonius Dyscolus. In 1591 vertrok hij naar Heidelberg, waar hij bibliothecaris om de keurvorst van de Palts [keurvorst van de Palts, CB]. De Wechel serie was (Interessant voortgezet door Hieronymus Commelinus (Jerome Commelin) van Heidelberg, voor wie Sylburg Clemens van Alexandrië, Justin Martyr, de Etymologicum magnum, de Scriptores re rustica, de Griekse gnomic dichters bewerkt, Xenophon, Nonnus en andere werken. Alle Sylburg edities Toon kritieke grootmacht en onvermoeibare industrie; de laatste kan goed hebben zijn dood veroorzaakte. Etymologicum Magnum (Grieks: (standaard afkorting EM) is de traditionele titel van een Griekse lexicale encyclopedie samengesteld in Constantinopel door een onbekende lexicograaf rond 1150 AD. Het is het grootste Byzantijnse lexicon en geïnspireerd op vele eerder grammaticale, lexicale en retorische werken. De hoofdbronnen waren twee vorige etymologica, de zogenaamde Etymologicum Genuinum en de Etymologicum Gudianum. Andere bronnen omvatten Stephanus van Byzantium, de belichaming van Diogenianus, de zogenaamde Lexicon Eulogius'? George Choeroboscus' Epimerismi ad Psalmos, de Etymologicon van Orion van Thebe, en collecties van scholia. De compilator van de Etymologicum Magnum was niet een louter kopiist; eerder hij samengevoegd,
