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 connexion with the 'Ars Poetica' of Horace. (...). 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). The first part of this collection of Heinsius' poetry opens with early work, the 3 books of Sylvae, followed by Hipponax, 3 books of Elegiae, and Monobiblos. Then Heinsius' Epigrams and some occasional poetry; 125 pages with Greek poems, inspired by Theocritus and the Anthologia Graeca. The part with Greek poems starts with 'Peplus' (Gown), a series of epigrams which Heinsius composed on Greek authors and philosophers. This part is followed by 40 p. of Greek poetry in Latin translation, 'Elegiarum iuvenilium reliquiae', and is concluded with the 'Liber adoptivus'. The second volume contains Heinsius' last long Latin poem 'De contemptu mortis' (1621). It is a didactic poem, the finest of its time, in 4 books, wherein arguments, Platonic, Stoic and Christian, are set forth which explain why man should not fear death) (Collation: Pagination sometimes confusing. +1 (title-page of volume 2), *4 (minus leaf *1, the title-page of volume 1), A-2G8 (Gathering P begins with p. 223, in stead of 225, i.e. doubling p. 223 & 224; gathering Q begins with 237 in stead of 239, i.e. doubling 237 & 238). +4 (minus leaf +1, which replaces the title-page of volume 1), A-L8, M4 (In gathering I the pagination 129 & 130 is skipped) (Photographs on request)
