After the death of J.J. Scaliger, to whose inner circle he belonged, he held the chair of Greek, from 1609 till 1647. He is best known for his edition of Aristotle's treatise on poetry (1611), which he studied in connection with the 'Ars Poetica' of Horace. This edition is 'the only considerable contribution to the criticism and eludication of the work that was ever produced in the Netherlands. (...) In his pamphlet 'De tragoediae Constitutione', published in the same year (1611), he deals with all the essential points in Aristotle's treatise, giving proof that he has thoroughly imbibed the author's spirit. (...) It was through this work that he became a centre of Aristotelian influence in Holland. His influence extended, in France, to Chaplain, and Balzac, to Racine and Corneille; in Germany to Opitz; and in England to Ben Jonson'. (J.E. Sandys, 'A history of classical scholarship, N.Y., 1964, vol. 2, p. 314) Heinsius was a representative of the great age of Neo-Latin in the Low Countries, which encompasses the 16th century, and a good part of the 17th century. Here the Anacreontic-Petrarcan love poetry in Latin was kept alive. (J. IJsewijn, 'Companion to Neo-Latin studies', vol. 1, Leuven 1990, p. 154) This volume of Heinsius' poetry, which was, as the text of the frontispiece tell us, edited by his son Nicolaus Heinsius, opens with early work, the three books of Sylvae, followed by Hipponax, an Ode to Molinus, 3 books of Elegiae, and the Monobiblos. Then comes the 'Herodes Infanticida, tragoedia', followed by Heinsius' last long Latin poem 'De contemptu mortis', a didactic poem in 4 books, wherein arguments, Platonic, Stoic and Christian, are set forth which explain why man should not fear death. Then Heinsius' Epigrams and occasional poetry, the 'Elegiarum iuvenilium libri'. At the end we find Heinsius' literary tour de force, his Greek poems, which were inspired by Theocritus and the Anthologia Graeca. It opens with 'Peplus' (Gown), a series of epigrams which Heinsius composed on Greek authors and philosophers. This part is followed by occasional poetry in Greek which Heinsius wrote for his contemporaries, like Casaubon, and by a section with Heinsius' Latin translations of Greek poetry. The collection closes with the 'Liber adoptivus', which contains occasional poetry addressed to Heinsius by J.J. Scaliger, J. Dousa, H. Grotius et alii. This edition of 1649 is a reissue of an edition of the collected greek and latin poetry of Heinsius, which was published by Heger in Leiden in 1640) (Provenance: 'Ex libris 'Ant. La Bout, 1660', or 'Ant. LaBout') (Collation: *6, A- D12, 2E-2F6 (leaves 2F5 & 2F6 blank)) (Photographs on request)
