In 1604, he was restored to his father's Earldom of Arundel and to the Baronies of his grandfather, Thomas, 4th Duke of Norfolk. His fortunes fluctuated under James I and Charles I; he held many high offices and was more than once imprisoned. He is best remembered for his patronage of the arts and for his magnificent collections. These were dispersed after his death, most of the marbles and statues being given to Oxford University in 1667 to become known later as the Arundel (or Oxford) marbles. The library was given to the Royal Society and to the College of Heralds, the manuscript portion of the Royal Society's moiety being transferred to the British Museum in 1831 forming the present Arundel Collection.The present lot derives from Sir Anthony Van Dyck's portrait of the Earl painted circa 1620/1 and now in the J.

Tengler (geb. zwischen 1435/45-1511), Landvogt zu Höchstadt, "beabsichtigte mit diesem Hülfs- und Nachschlage-Buche die 'Halbgelehrten', welche ohne vorgängige kostspielige Rechtsstudien auf Hochschulen damals als Schreiber, Advocaten, Procuratoren, Notare, Rathgeber, Redner oder in anderer untergeordneter Beschäftigung sehr zahlreich bei Gerichten thätig waren, in den Rechten zu belehren und ihnen ein richtiges Verhalten vorzuzeichnen.

Renouard, Annales Alde, S. 24ff.: "Collection infiniment rare et précieuse . le peu d'exemplaires qui restent, sont presque tous plus ou moins incomplets". Ein gutes Exemplar der ersten beiden Bände der Sammlung von Texten frühchristlicher Autoren, von denen eine ganze Anzahl hier erstmals im Druck erscheint - eines der ambitiösesten Druckerzeugnisse von Aldus. Es liegen Schriften vor von Prudentius, Sedulius, Iuvencus, Prosper Aquitanus und zahlreichen anderen. Aldus wollte mit seiner Ausgabe christliche Autoren populär machen, sie vor allem als Lehrstoff an die Schulen und Universitäten bringen, wie er in seinen beiden Vorreden darlegt. "The large-scale edition of the Christian Latin Poets seems to have been turned into a publisher's nightmare by this kind of enthusiasm. The first volume and the first half of the second were in print in January 1501, but the dedication of the second to Daniele Clari carries the date June 1502. Undated works in Greek and Latin, with the quires differently marked, are added at the end of both volumes. The third volume was delayed until June 1504. The most probable explanation is that Aldus had originally planned a fairly modest edition of the shorter works of Sedulius, Juvencus, Arator and Prudentius which would have been contained in a single volume and now stand in the earliest dated section. Then word got around, scholarly enthusiasm took over, and new material started to flow in: first, a more complete manuscript of Prudentius from England, which upset the balance of the volume; then the Greek works of John of Damascus, Cosmas and Epiphanius wehich were in due course translated, edited, and compounded with the first volume. This of course meant rounding off the second volume, so Piercandido Decembrio was deputed to edit and translate the Homerocentra and the two volumes were apparantly published together some eighteenth months late . It was appropriate that the second volume of this confused series was the first to carry Aldus' famous cipher of the dolphin and anchor, the symbol of the ancient proverb 'Hasten slowly' which Aldus has declared his motto as early as 1499 and seems to have expounded regularly to his friends. In 1502, it was in fact, a very neat apparaisal of his position. He had achieved much." (Martin Lowry, The World of Aldus Manutius, 1979, S. 148f.).

[signature illegible]".John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester (1647-1680) was a poet and courtier of Charles II's Restoration court.
