About This Item

Coloniae Allobrogum [Geneva], sumptibus Petri &: Jacobi Chouet , 1621. Folio, first printing of the original Greek text. pp. [xx], 168, 520, [xlii]. Paralllel Greek and Latin text, light waterstaining, mostly to lower margin, contemporary blind-ruled calf, minor wear, headcaps and lettering piece renewed. The second century physician and philosopher Sextus Empiricus is our major surviving source for Greek scepticism. The earliest printed editions were Latin translations by the scholar-printer Henri Estienne and the theologian and humanist Gentius Hervet, first published in the 1560s and included here to accompany the original Greek text. Sextus was read widely over the following 300 years, and his works had a profound influence on the thinking of Montaigne, Descartes, Hume, Hegel and other pivotal figures in early modern and enlightenment philosophy. Our 1621 editio princeps was printed with variant title-pages with Paris and Cologny or Geneva imprints, a habit which seems to have smoothed the import and export of books between Protestant Switzerland and Catholic France.
