Es handelt sich um die erste große biographische Arbeit zu Tycho Brahe (1546-1601): "Der wohlgelehrte Hr. Oluf Bang in Kopenhagen, gab 1744 den zweyten Band seiner Sammlung erbaulicher Materien, in Dänischer Sprache heraus: In demselben hat er [...], auch das Leben. eines Mannes, so eine Zierde seines Vaterlandes war, nämlich des gelehrten Dänischen Edelmannes , des Tycho v.

The first one is thought to have written most works, the 'Vita Apollonii' (Life of Apollonius), the 'Vitae Sophistarum' (Biographies of Sophists), the 'Gymnastikos', the 'Heroikos', the 'Eikones', and 'Dialexeis', and a collection of 73 letters, mostly love letters. (Neue Pauly 9, s.v. Philostratos 5-8) In the first years of the third century Philostratus moved to Rome, where he entered the court of the emperor Septimius Severius. There he wrote ca. 307 A.D. at the behest of the empress Julia Domna Augusta, whose favour he enjoyed, a biography of the neopythagorean ascetic and wandering philosopher, and also miracle-monger, Apollonius of Tyana. Few books have over a long period of time aroused so much upheaval among Christians as this biography. Apollonius was born in the same year when Jesus Christ is supposed to be born. It is almost impossible to reveal Apollonius' true identity, or to decide wether this is a biography of a real or fictionalized hero, or just an Heliodoran romance or a romantic hagiography, or even a documentary romance. The question can be dealt from so many angles, that the Philostratean studies constitute a separate branch in the research of the culture of the Early Roman Empire. The problem is 'that Philostratus, as a man of letters and sophist full of passion for Greek romance and for the studies in rhetoric, was hardly interested in the historical Apollonius'. (Dzielska,M., 'Apollonius of Tyana in legend and history', Rome 1986, p. 14) A fact is that contemporary sources reveal next to nothing about Apollonius. 'To satisfy the empress's demand, who asked him (Philostratus) to narrate the life and achievements of Apollonius, he had to invent this figure as it were anew. Thus using his literary imagination, this moderately gifted writer turned a modest Cappadocian mystic into an impressive figure, full of life, politically outstanding, and yet also preposterous'. (Dzielska p. 14) Nothing proves that the 'Vita Apollonii Tyanensis' was widely read in the 3rd century. It would probably not have survived, were it not for the gouvernor of Bithynia, Sossianus Hierocles, one of the inspirators of the persecution of the Christians at the beginning of the third century in his province under the emperor Diocletian. At the beginning of the 4th century he published his 'Philaletes', a treatise against Christianity, in which he ridiculed the divine attributes of Christ, and praised Apollonius' virtues and thaumaturgic abilities. In the 'Philaletes' Hierocles propagated his pagan Christ Apollonius. The Christians were furiously enraged, because Hierocles dared to contrast Apollonius with their Saviour. The Christians won under Constantine, and the 'Philaletes' vanished soon from the face of earth. It is only known through the 'Against Hierocles' a treatise of the Churchfather Eusebius. The 'Vita Apollonii Tyanensis', in which it was believed that Apollonius was presented as the equal, if not the superior of Christ, survived however the burning of pagan literature by Christian mobs in early christianity. The 'editio princeps' of the Vita Apollonii', accompanied by a Latin translation was published by Aldus in 1501-1502. This Latin translation of the 'Vita' was produced by the Florentine Alemanus Rinuccinus, and by Zenobius Acciola, who translated the Eusebius part. In a short preface Desiderius Iacotius Vandoperanus tells the reader that this edition of 1555 is a reissue of that first Latin translation, maintaining Aldus's arrangement of chapters and the notes. (Preface p. *3 verso) The translator of the 'Vita Apollonii' , the Florentine Alemanno Rinuccini, 1426-1504, held a number of honorable offices in the government of his city. He translated into Latin several of the Lives of Plutarch and this 'Vita'. It was completed in 1473, but was not printed until 1501. (On Rinuccini, J. Hutton, 'The Greek Anthology in Italy to the year 1800', Ithaca/N.Y., 1935, p. 105/06) Zenobio Acciaiuoli, 1461-1519, 'was a Florentine, and in his youth a close friend of Politian and Ficino. (...) He joined the Dominican Order, weathered the stormy years that followed the expulsion of Piero de' Medici, and at last found a haven with Leo X, who made him prefect of the Vatican Library. To him are due a number of translations from the Greek, parts of Eusebius, Olympiodorus, Theodoretus and the like'.
