Title printed in red and black) (Condition: Vellum slightly soiled) (Note: 'One of the most widely read and influential of Roman historians, along with Caesar, Livy, and Tacitus, Sallust (86-34 BC) has been studied, quoted, and imitated not only as a historian but also as a moral philosopher, political thinker, and stylist.' Until 1600 more than 200 editions of his work appeared. Sallust was used in the 16th and 17th century to support absolute theories of government. But, 'on the other hand, it was the republican Sallust, 'ennemy of tyrants,' whom John Milton admired and who bolstered the cause of liberty in the Lowlands during the war with Spain and, later, in France and on the American continent'. (The Classical tradition, Cambr. Mass., 2010 p. 856) Sallustius furnished indeed weapons to the supporters and opponents during the rebellion of the Netherlands against the Spaniards, a war of independence that lasted 80 years, from 1568 till 1648. Numberless pamphlets appeared during this war, and many are full of reminiscences and quotations of classical authors. Sallust also was widely used. William of Orange e.g. was once called 'desen seditieuse Catalina' (P.A.M. Geurts, 'Sallustius' Catilinae Coniuratio in politieke pamfletten'. In Hermeneus, 32, 1961. p. 113/7) The translator of both works is the publisher François van Hoogstraten, 1632-1696. He was a literary minded publisher, who wrote some poetry and translated Boethius, Thomas Morus, and the 'Laus Stultitiae' of Erasmus.
