“When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”

― Erasmus

 

The ‘Duplici Copia’ was a wide-spread treatise by Erasmus written to accompany students who aspired to possess an elegant and high style of writing. “Foundations of Style”, as it is referred to in English, provided abundant examples of how to say the same word or phrase in a number of different ways. First appearing in 1512, this book found enormous success throughout the 16th-century. According to J.E. Walsh,

“This work is more important than its elementary nature might indicate, for it provided a handbook not only for the intimation of the words of the ancients but for the absorption of their ideas as well.”

 

This 1662 edition of “Copia” was published in Amsterdam by Jansson, bound in an impressive vellum binding.
