One part of the examination is an attempt to reconstruct the entire process of transmission from the making of the late Roman selection through the internal arrangement of the corpus in ancient editions to the relation between client and consultant at the time of writing. The other part is an evaluation of criteria of authenticity: chronological ideological and stylistic. . University of California Press hardcover

Miller Stephen G.
ARETE Greek Sports from Ancient Sources. A Second and Expanded Edition
University of California Press. Very Good. 1991. Second Revised Edition. Softcover. 0520075099 . Light creasing to spine. Minor shelfwear. Former owner's name to ffep. ; 239 pages; From the informal games of Homer's time to the highly organized contests of the Roman world Miller has compiled a trove of ancient sources--Plutarch on boxing Aristotle on the pentathlon Philostratos on clay dust as an anti-perspirant and on the buying and selling of victories Vitruvius on literary competitions Xenophon on female body building. With fully twice as many texts as the highly successful first edition this new version of Arete offers readers an absorbing lesson in the culture of Greek athletics from the greatest of teachers--the ancients themselves. These sources which Miller himself has translated provide unparalleled insights into ancient athletic practices and competitive festivals. They emphasize the fundamental role of athletics in education and shed light on such issues as the role of women in athletics and the politics and economics of the games. Ultimately they demonstrate that the concepts of virtue skill pride valor and nobility embedded in the word arete and so closely associated in the modern mind with Greek athletics are only part of the story from antiquity. .

THUCYDIDES MYTHISTORICUS
University of Pennsylvania Press. Very Good-. 1971. Softcover. 0812210212 . Spine a little discolored. Wraps has some rubbing and discoloration. Faint staining to ffep and front inner cover. Contents a bit shaken. ; The title of this book needs a word of explanation if not of apology; for to any one who is accustomed to think of Thucydides as typically prosaic and nothing if not purely historical the epithet Mythistoricus may seem to carry a note of challenge or even of paradox. But the sense in which the expression has here been used is quite consistent with the historian's much-talked-of `trustworthiness' and indeed with the literal truth of every statement of fact in the whole of his work. It is possible however even for a writer of history to be something much better than trustworthy. Xenophon I suppose is honest; but his honesty makes it none the easier to read him. To read Thucydides is although certainly not easy at any rate pleasant because--trustworthiness and all--he is a great artist. It is the object of this essay to bring out an essentially artistic aspect of his work which has escaped notice partly because the history is so long that it is hard to take it in as a whole and partly because the execution of the effect is imperfect having been hindered by the good intentions with which Thucydides set out. ; Pennsylvania Paperback 1021; 252 pages; Reprint of 1907 Original. .

ROME IN AFRICA
Routledge. Near Fine. 1993. Third Edition. Softcover. 0415081505 . Very light shelfwear. ; 254 pages; Nearly three thousand years ago the Phoenicians set up trading colonies on the coast of North Africa and ever since successive civilizations have been imposed on the local inhabitants largely from outside. Carthaginians Romans vandals Byzantines Arabs TUrks French and Italians have all occupied the region in their time. The Romans governed this part of Africa for six hundred cities twelve thousand miles of roads and hundreds of aquaducts some fifty miles long. The remains of many of these structures can be seen today. At the height of its prosperity during the second and third centuries AD the area was the granary of Rome and produced more olive oil than Italy itself. The broadening horizons of the Roman Empire provided scope for the particular talents of a number of Africa's sons: the writers Terence and Apuleius; the first African Roman Emperor Septimius Severus famous Christian theologians like Tertulllian and Saint Augustine - these are just some who rose to meet the challenges of their age. .

Shackleton Bailey, D. R.
PROFILE OF HORACE
Duckworth & Company. Very Good. 1982. Softcover. 0715617257 . Spine and part of front wrap show sun discoloration. ; In this concise analysis written with elegant wit the greatest living textual critic of Latin authors offers new insight into the poetry of Horace. Horace is best known for his four books of Odes cherished for their lyric grace. His amiable persona is displayed more intimately in the moralizing verses of the Satires and Epistles. In a reading of all the poetry but focusing especially on problematic areas Shackleton Bailey examines Horace's art of self-presentation. A variety of themes are elucidated from the poet's relations with his patron to Roman sexual attitudes. Close scrutiny is given to about thirty passages which he argues have been misread. An appended essay on a notable predecessor the textual scholar Richard Bentley is especially revealing on the art of classical scholarship. ; Classical Life and Letters; 0.67 x 8.81 x 5.68 Inches; 142 pages .

ROMAN LITERARY CULTURE From Cicero to Apuleius
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine. 1999. Softcover. 0801862019 . Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; Ancient Society and History; 352 pages; Scholars of ancient literature have often focused on the works and lives of major authors rather than on such questions as how these works were produced and who read them. In Roman Literary Culture Elaine Fantham fills that void by examining the changing social and historical context of literary production in ancient Rome and its empire. Fantham discusses the habits of Roman readers and developments in their means of access to literature from booksellers and copyists to pirated publications and libraries. She examines the issues of patronage and the utility of literature. She shows how the constraints of the physical object itselfthe ancient "book"influenced the practice of both reading and writing. And she explores the ways in which ancient criticism and critical attitudes reflected cultural assumptions of the time. . The Johns Hopkins University Press paperback

Nisbet R. G. M. & S. J. Harrison edited by
COLLECTED PAPERS ON LATIN LITERATURE
Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 0198149484 . Book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; This book collects twenty-six articles on a wide range of topics in Latin literature by the eminent scholar and former Professor of Latin at Oxford Robin Nisbet. Some papers address the historical bearing of various literary works--Gallus on Caesar Virgil and the Gospels and Ovid in exile--while other papers focus more on issues of style symbolism and the poetic address. In articles on prose Nisbet considers the reader's contribution to the understanding of Cicero's speeches and the use of rhythm to determine the punctuation of Latin sentences. The collection ends with a critique of the current tendency to exaggerate the ambiguities of Roman poetry. Original stimulating and at times provocative these papers represent some of the best in recent Latin scholarship. ; 464 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover

DEMOSTHENES: SELECTED PRIVATE SPEECHES
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1985. Hardcover. 0521239605 . Light bump to 1 corner. Minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 252 pages; The four private speeches contained in this collection were functional artefacts whose object was to persuade a jury numbered in hundreds by manipulating both the facts of the case and the prejudices beliefs and attitudes of the Athenian man-in-the-street. It is as vehicles of persuasion that Dr Carey and Dr Reid seek primarily to treat the speeches using their commentary to shed light on how well the speeches perform their function. The speeches have also been chosen for their value as documents of Athenian law commerce and private life. The commentary explains as far as possible any obscurities in these fields and also deals with matters of linguistic interest. While intended mainly for undergraduates and students in the upper forms of schools the book will be of interest to all classical scholars. The introduction which provides a brief survey of the Athenian legal system and the trade of the speechwriter requires no knowledge of Greek and should interest students of classical culture and literature in translation. .
