LASCARIS, Constantinus (1434-1501). De nomine et verbo , in Greek. [Vicenza: Leonardus Achates de Basilea, 1489]. Chancery 4° (206 x 146mm). Collation: a 8 b-c 6 (a1 blank, a2 r preface, a3 r treatise on the Greek verb, c3 v epilogue, c5-6 blank). 18 leaves (without first and final blank). Greek type 8:112. 31 lines. Late-18th-century English straight-grained red morocco gilt. Provenance : Sir George Shuckburgh (armorial bookplate). FIRST EDITION. This treatise does not form part of Lascaris's grammar, Erotemata , but is supplementary to it. The preface announces the full text on the noun and the verb, but Achates printed only the part dealing with the verb. In the epilogue the author surveys the field of Greek grammar and lexicography and discusses his own writings. An enlarged version of the entire treatise was published a dozen years later by Aldus Manutius Constantine Lascaris, whose contributions to Greek studies are sometimes confused with those of his equally important contemporary Janus Lascaris (even in modern works of scholarship), was a pupil of John Argyropoulos when Constantinople was captured by the Turks in 1453. After working for seven years in Milan he ended up at Messina, where he taught the future Cardinal Pietro Bembo and where he remained until his death from the plague. Despite his poverty Lascaris formed a considerable personal library, which was left to the city of Messina and now survives at the Bibliotheca Nacional in Madrid. Achates printed four books in Greek; Proctor describes his type as "an obvious imitation of the second Milanese fount", Barker called it "clearly modelled on the De Spira-Jenson greek" ( Aldus Manutius and the Development of Greek Script & Type p.8 n.15). FINE COPY. HR 9925; Pr 7126; BMC VII, 1032 (IA. 31722 and 31722a); Oates 2671; Goff L-69; IGI 5694; CIBN L-51; Proctor, Printing of Greek p. 90-1, pl. XII and p. 207-8; Legrand I, 6.
