Editio princeps explained

In textual and classical scholarship, the editio princeps (plural: editiones principes) of a work is the first printed edition of the work, that previously had existed only in manuscripts. These had to be copied by hand in order to circulate.

For example, the editio princeps of Homer is that of Demetrius Chalcondyles, now thought to be from 1488. The most important texts of classical Greek and Roman authors were for the most part produced in editiones principes in the years from 1465 to 1525, following the invention of the printing press around 1440.[1] [2]

In some cases there were possibilities of partial publication, of publication first in translation (for example from Greek to Latin), and of a usage that simply equates with first edition. For a work with several strands of manuscript tradition that have diverged, such as Piers Plowman, editio princeps is a less meaningful concept.

The term has long been extended by scholars to works not part of the Ancient Greek and Latin literatures. It is also used for legal works, and other significant documents.

Notable works

The following is a selection of notable literature works.

DateAuthor, WorkPrinterLocationComment
Johannes GutenbergMainzThe 4th century translation of the Bible, two editions: 42 line and 36 line, see Gutenberg Bible.
1465[3] Cicero, De OratoreConradus Sweynheym and Arnoldus PannartzSubiacoThis edition was published without date but it is believed to be before September 1465.
1465–1470[4] Augustinus, ConfessionesJohannes Mentelin[5] StrasbourgThe second edition came out in Milan in 1475, followed by editions in 1482 and 1483. Other two incunable editions came from Strasbourg in 1489 and 1491, but the book was not separately reprinted until 1531.[6]
1467[7] Augustinus, De Civitate DeiConradus Sweynheym and Arnoldus Pannartz[8] SubiacoThe following year Johannes Mentelin printed in Strasbourg another edition; it offered the earliest textual commentary, by Thomas Valois and Nicholas Trivet. For the next two centuries, the De Civitate was the most often printed of all Augustine's works; 17 editions appeared in the 15th century and eight in the 16th century.
1469[9] [10] LiviusConradus Sweynheym and Arnoldus PannartzRomeEdited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis. The Rome edition included only Books 1–10, 21–32, 34–39 and a portion of 40. In a 1518 Mainz edition, the rest of Book 40 and part of 33 were published, while in a 1531 Basel edition, Books 41–45 were published, edited by Simon Grynaeus. He had discovered the only surviving manuscript of the fifth decade in 1527 while searching in the Lorsch Abbey in Germany. In 1616 the remaining part of Book 33 was published in Rome, by which all extant Livy had reached print.[11]
Periochae[12]
1469[13] [14] [15] VergiliusConradus Sweynheym and Arnoldus PannartzRomeEdited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis. Together with the three standard Virgilian works, Busi included the Appendix Vergiliana and Donatus' Vita Vergilii. He also included the Priapeia, then attributed to Virgil.
Priapeia
Appendix Vergiliana
Aelius Donatus, Vita Vergilii
1469[16] Julius CaesarConradus Sweynheym and Arnoldus PannartzRomeEdited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis.
1469[17] Plinius MaiorJohannes de SpiraVenice
1469[18] Aulus GelliusConradus Sweynheym and Arnoldus PannartzRomeEdited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis.
1470[19] Sallustius, Bellum Catilinae and Bellum Iugurthinum[20] Vindelinus de SpiraVeniceIn the same year an edition of Sallust was also printed in Paris.
1470[21] Suetonius, De Vita CaesarumJohannes Philippus de LignamineRomeEdited by Johannes Antonius Campanus.[22]
[23] [24] Tacitus,,, Germania and Vindelinus de SpiraVeniceThis edition only has books 11–16 of the Annales. Books 1–6 were rediscovered in 1508 in the Corvey Abbey (now in Germany) and brought to Rome. There they were printed by Étienne Guillery in 1515 together with the other books of the Annales while the edition was prepared by Filippo Beroaldo.
1471OvidiusBaldassarre AzzoguidiBolognaEdited by Franciscus Puteolanus. There is some dispute regarding the possibility it may have been preceded by the Roman edition printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, which is without date but thought to be also from 1471.
Boethius, Hans GlimSaviglianoUndated, others have suggested the incunable's date to be 1473 or 1474. This would probably make the editio princeps the lavish edition that came out in Nuremberg in 1473 from Anton Koberger's press, containing a commentary traditionally attributed to Thomas of Aquin and a German translation.[25]
1471–1472[26] Varro, De lingua latinaGeorgius LauerRomeEdited by Julius Pomponius Laetus
1472PlautusJohannes de Colonia[27] -1470[28] VeniceEdited by Georgius Merula basing himself on the Codex Ursinianus. With a dedication to Iacopo Zeno, bishop of Padua.[29]
1472[30] Macrobius, In Somnium Scipionis and SaturnaliaNicolaus JensonVenice
[31] Beda, Heinrich Eggestein[32] [33] StrasbourgThe edition is undated, but it is agreed to have been printed between 1474 and 1482. It was followed in the same town in 1500 by a second edition, this time bounded with a Latin translation of Eusebius' Historia Ecclesiastica.
1475[34] [35] Seneca Philosophus, Dialogi, De beneficiis, De Clementia and Epistulae morales ad LuciliumMatthias MoravusNaplesThe first complete edition of Seneca's philosophical works. Due to a confusion between the son and the father the volume also includes Seneca the Elder's widely known epitomized version composed of excerpts from his Suasoriae et Controversiae; the complete surviving text was printed in 1490 in Venice by Bernardinus de Cremona together with the younger Seneca. Also in the edition is Publilius Syrus, whose Sententiae are in the so-called Proverbia Senecae. The mistake was corrected in 1514 by Erasmus when the latter published in Southwark in 1514 an edition of Publilius that is generally considered to be the real editio princeps. Erasmus was followed in Leipzig in 1550 by Georg Fabricius, who also added twenty new sentences to the print.[36] [37] [38]

1478[45] –1479[46] Aesopus, FabulaeB. & J. A. de HonateMilanEdited by Bonus Accursius. Undated, the book contained also a Latin translation by Ranuccio Tettalo. These 127 fables are known as the Collectio Accursiana, the newest of the three recensions that form the Greek Aesopica. The oldest Greek recension is the Collectio Augustana, in 231 fables, that was published only in 1812 by Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider in Breslau. The last recension is the Collectio Vindobonensis, made of 130 fables, that was first edited in 1776 by Thomas Tyrwhitt.[47] [48] [49] Concerning The Aesop Romance, of it also three recensions exist: the one printed in this edition is the Vita Accursiana, while the second to be printed was in 1845 the Vita Westermanniana, edited in Braunschweig by Anton Westermann. The Last recension to be printed was the Vita Perriana, edited in 1952 in Urbana by Ben Edwin Perry.[50] [51] [52]
Vita Aesopi
Hesiodus, B. & J. A. de HonateMilanEdited by Bonus Accursius. Undated, only Theocritus' first 18 idylls are contained in this edition. A wider arrange of idylls appeared in the 1495–1496 Aldine Theocritus which had idylls I-XXIII.[53] A further amount of yet unpublished idylls were printed in Rome together with their old scholia by Zacharias Calliergis in his 1516 edition of Theocritus.

1488–1489Homerus, Ilias and OdysseaFlorenceEdited by Demetrius Chalcondyles, the book was printed with the help of that reelaborated the Greek types he had previously used in Milan. The editorial project was completed thanks to the financial support of and the patronage of Neri and together with, the latter also author of an opening dedication to Piero de' Medici. The edition includes also the previously printed Batrachomyomachia. As for the typography the volume has traditionally been attributed to the prolific printer, attribution denied by recent scholarship. The issue thus remains unresolved.

The first volume was printed in November 1495 while the last came out in 1498. Theophrastus' works came out together in 1497. Notably absent in this edition of Aristotle's works are the Rhetorica and the Poetica and also the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum.[62] [63] Concerning the Problemata, they came out in 1497 in its shorter recension in two books; the longer recension in four books came out in Paris in 1857 due to Hermann Usener.[64] As for Theophrastus, all his published works came out in 1497 dispersed through the second, third and fourth volumes.

1518[85] AeschylusAldine PressVeniceEdited by . This edition contains only 6 of Aeschylus' 7 surviving tragedies: missing is the Choephoroe. This is because the manuscripts had fused Agamemnon and Choephoroe, omitting lines 311–1066 of Agamemnon, a mistake that was corrected for the first time in 1552 in the Venetian edition edited by Franciscus Robortellus. The separation was not fully successful as the text was not correctly divided, leaving it to the 1557 Paris edition by Petrus Victorius, printed with an appendix by Henricus Stephanus, to finally obtain an adequate edition of Aeschylus' plays.[86] [87]
1530[88] Polybius, HistoriaeJohannes Secerius[89] HagenauA part of Book VI had been already printed in Venice in 1529 by, edited by Janus Lascaris with his Latin translation incorporated.

What survived of the rest of Polybius thanks to the excerpta antiqua of the other Books was first printed by Joannes Hervagius in Basel in 1549 together with a Latin translation by Wolfgang Musculus. Further Polybian excerpts came to light thanks to Fulvius Ursinus that in Antwerp in 1582 published Constantinus Porphyrogenitus' Excerpta de legationibus. All this additional material was incorporated in Isaac Casaubon's 1609 Polybius Paris edition.[90] [91] [92] [93]
