Romans and Greeks as lessons for the present
SCHOOCK, Martinus.Respublicae achaeorum et Veientium juxta sua fata in usum praesentis seculi deliniatae.   Utrecht, Gilbert Zyl, 1664. 24mo. Contemporary vellum over boards, spine lettered in ink. Engraved allegorical title. (16), 224 pp. First separate edition of a history of the Greeks and Romans and their fate as a lesson for contemporary times by Martin Schoock (1614-1669), member of a patrician family from Utrecht. After his studies at the Hieronymus school in Utrecht, he was sent to Franeker to study philosophy with Johannes Hachtingius and mathematics with Adrianus Metius, but soon he went to Leyden, where he continued to study philosophy with Burgersdijk and theology with Antonius Walaeus. He was a Gomarist and follower of Voetius and a fervent advocate of Aristotelian philosophy, even lending his name in 1643 to a strong attack on Descartes, of which Descartes at first thought that it was written by Voetius, and which then resulted in an official complaint addressed by Descartes to the Senate of the University of Groningen, where Schoock was professor at the time.was professor of literature, philosophy, Greek, logic and physics successively at the Universities of Utrecht (1638), Deventer and Groningen (1640-1666) and at the end of his life he was appointed professor of history and historian to the Elector of Brandenburg at Frankfurt on the Oder, to whom Schoock dedicated the present work. He wrote numerous books and papers on a wide variety of subjects. His books, which often included fierce attacks on papacy, were forbidden by Rome in 1700. The work was published before in 1635 in Gabriel Sionita's De nonnullis orientalium urbibus (Amsterdam, Blaeu). In 1655 two students published their Disputationes on Schoock's work: B.S. von Stosch & Justus Chr. Polman, Martini Schoockij Respublica archaeorum & Vejentium duabus dissertationibus exhibita in Academia Groningae & Ommelandiae Respublica archaeorum & Vejentium. Nice copy of this small book.
Van der Aa VI, p. 124 ff., including a bibliography covering over 3 folio-columns; cf. Thijsse-Schouten, Cartesianism in the Netherlands, p. 476, et passim.
