ALBA LONGA HISTOIRE D'UNE LÉGENDE Recherches Sur L'Archéologie La Religion Les Traditions De L'Ancien Latium
École Française De Rome. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2008. Hardcover. 2728304122 . 2 volume set. Light bumping to extremities else Fine. ; Alba Longa et sa légende demeurent pour la science une énigme : alors quelle explore les origines de Rome avec une intensité sans précédent elle ne sait que penser de cette ville introuvable de ce lac débordant de ces forêts ombreuses de ces rois fantômes. Quel rôle jouèrent les monts Albains dans la culture latiale A-t-on eu raison depuis plus de cinq siècles de chercher inlassablement Albe cette cité doù seraient venus les jumeaux fondateurs de Rome Quelles furent les relations entre ce territoire albain et Rome entre la Ligue latine et la Ville Géographie historique et culturelle sciences de la terre archéologie histoire des religions philologie : le recours à un très large éventail de disciplines aboutit ici à une synthèse doù le souci de la réflexivité épistémologique nest jamais absent. Pour comprendre le légendaire albain il fallait le replacer dans son cadre. Les anciennes fouilles du XIXe siècle sont donc restituées dans leur contexte. Au-delà de ce qui a été conservé émerge un continent perdu de la connaissance : des paysages disparus des sites oubliés des textes négligés des rites méconnus et avec eux toute la richesse dune véritable civilisation : en retour on comprendra mieux lapport des plus récentes découvertes dans ce Latium préromain dont le massif Albain constituait précisément le centre. Cest là sur le mons Albanus moderne Monte Cavo que les Anciens plaçaient Alba Longa et ses rois ; cest là aussi qu avait lieu une grandiose cérémonie religieuse les Féries Latines délaissées pourtant par la recherche moderne qui na su où situer les mystérieux sacra Albana. Des inventaires précis des dossiers rassemblant les textes antiques concernés donnés à chaque fois avec leur traduction permettent de redonner à ces thèmes toute leur importance et font de ce livre un exceptionnel outil de travail : la première synthèse française sur cet ancien Latium naguère dit primitif objet depuis trois décennies dun grand mouvement international de recherche. Mémoire ou histoire À cette interrogation aujourdhui omniprésente ce livre apporte une réponse qui constitue une contribution novatrice au débat actuel sur les origines de Rome. ; 2 Volume Set COMPLETE.

CICEROS ROSCIANA AMERINA Im Prosarhythmus Rekonstruiert
Franz Steiner Verlag. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 2011. Hardcover. 3515098682 . Bump to top corner of front board. Very light shelfwear. Else Fine. ; Palingenesia 99; 178 pages; German text. Der antike Prosarhythmus ist nie bevorzugter Forschungsgegenstand der Philologie gewesen ruckte allerdings immer wieder einmal durch neue Untersuchungen ins Blickfeld. Besonders die Klauselforschung wurde vorherrschend vor allem durch Th. Zielinskis Studie aUber das Clauselgesetz in Ciceros Reden Leipzig 1909. Einen neuen Massstab setzte dann jedoch der Band von W. Schmid aUber die klassische Theorie und Praxis des antiken Prosarhythmus Wiesbaden 1959. Statt der eingeengten Sicht auf die Satzschlusse eruierte er ein geschlossenes System rhythmischer Gesetzmassigkeiten als das entscheidende Kriterium das sich aus antiken Zeugnissen vor allem bei Cicero und Aristoteles ergibt. Fur Cicero nimmt der Rhythmus eine so zentrale Stellung ein dass er in dessen Beherrschung den Kulminationspunkt seiner rednerischen Fahigkeit sah. Deshalb wird hier im Anschluss an W. Schmid ein neuer Versuch unternommen diese Rhythmisierung in Ciceros Rede fur Sextus Roscius aus Ameria sichtbar zu machen. Der Text ist nach rhythmischen Sprecheinheiten gegliedert und markiert damit sozusagen wo Cicero Atempausen gemacht hat und was er betonen wollte. Es zeigt sich dadurch in aller Deutlichkeit wie kunstvoll diese Rede gestaltet ist. Durch das neue Druckbild kann sie nun wie eine aPartitur gelesen werden. . Franz Steiner Verlag hardcover

READING SIN IN THE WORLD The Hamartigenia of Prudentius and the Vocation of the Responsible Reader
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2011. Hardcover. 1107004535 . Very light shelfwear to book and DJ else Fine. ; 294 pages; Prudentius is one of the major Latin poets of antiquity. A Christian living and writing in Spain in the late fourth and early fifth centuries he was thoroughly imbued with the whole tradition of Latin poetry. The Hamartigenia is a didactic poem exploring the origins of evil and how it operates in the world. It is full of echoes and reworkings of earlier poems by Lucretius Virgil and others but is also a serious contribution to this important theological issue which was much discussed in Church circles of the day. This is a major new study of the Hamartigenia in the context of Prudentius' work as a whole and is striking for being as seriously interested in its theological as in its literary contribution. .

IMPERIAL IDEOLOGY AND PROVINCIAL LOYALTY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE
University of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0520220676 . One small chip to DJ else Fine. ; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 1.57 x 9.37 x 6.31 Inches; 494 pages; The Roman empire remains unique. Although Rome claimed to rule the world it did not. Rather its uniqueness stems from the culture it created and the loyalty it inspired across an area that stretched from the Tyne to the Euphrates. Moreover the empire created this culture with a bureaucracy smaller than that of a typical late-twentieth-century research university. In approaching this problem Clifford Ando does not ask the ever-fashionable question Why did the Roman empire fall Rather he asks Why did the empire last so long Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire argues that the longevity of the empire rested not on Roman military power but on a gradually realized consensus that Roman rule was justified. This consensus was itself the product of a complex conversation between the central government and its far-flung peripheries. Ando investigates the mechanisms that sustained this conversation explores its contribution to the legitimation of Roman power and reveals as its product the provincial absorption of the forms and content of Roman political and legal discourse. Throughout his sophisticated and subtle reading is informed by current thinking on social formation by theorists such as Max Weber Jrgen Habermas and Pierre Bourdieu. .

FIRST-PERSON FICTIONS Pindar's Poetic 'I'
Oxford Clarendon Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1991. First Edition. Hardcover. 0198146868 . DJ has very minor shelfwear else Fine. ; 240 pages; This collection of essays written over a period of almost thirty years deals with one problem: who is the 'I' in the odes of the most celebrated ancient Greek poet Pindar Since antiquity the complex and allusive language of the first-person statements has provoked many different answers. Professor Lefkowitz describes the function and nature of Pindar's 'I'-statements and proposes a controversial solution that would cause some histories of Greek literature to be rewritten. Rather than accept the view that the identity of the speaker could be subject to instant and unannounced change she proposes that the voice of the victory odes is the poet himself in his most professional persona. Professor Lefkowitz also refutes the traditional belief that the odes were sung by a chorus. She shows that in most if not all cases they were sung as solos and that Pindar was continuing the tradition established by the Homeric bards. . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

Lateiner, Donald
THE HISTORICAL METHOD OF HERODOTUS
University of Toronto Press. Near Fine. 1991. Softcover. 080207684X . Light sticker residue to bottom of spine. Else Fine. ; Phoenix Supplementary Volume XXIII; 336 pages; Herodotus was the first writer in the West to conceive the value of creating a record of the recent past. He found a way to co-ordinate the often conflicting data of history ethnology and culture. The Historical Method of Herodotus explores the intellectual habits and the literary principles of this pioneer writer of prose. Donald Lateiner argues against the perception that Herodotus' work seems amorphous and ill organized that the Histories contain their own definition of historical significance. He examines patterns of presentation and literary structure in narratives speeches and direct communications to the reader in short the conventions and rhetoric of history as Herodotus created it. This rhetoric includes the use of recurring themes the relation of speech to reported actions indications of doubt stylistic idiosyncrasies frequent reference to nonverbal behaviours and strategies of opening and ending. Lateiner shows how Herodotus sometimes suppresses information on principle and sometimes compels the reader to choose among contending versions of events. His inventories of Herodotus' methods allow the reader to focus on typical practice not misleading exception. In his analysis of the structuring concepts of the Histories Lateiner scrutinizes Herodotean time and chronology. He considers the historian's admiration for ethnic freedom and autonomy the rule of law and the positive values of conflict. Despite these apparent biases he argues the text's intellectual and moral preferences present a generally cool and detached account from which an authorial personality rarely emerges. The Historical Method of Herodotus illuminates the idiosyncrasies and ambitious nature of a major text in classics and the Western tradition and touches on aspects of historiography ancient history rhetoric and the history of ideas. .

Very light shelfwear else Fine. ; Leicester-Nottingham Studies in Ancient Society 2; 324 pages; The ancient Greco-Roman world was a world full of cities: not of cities in the modern sense of massive conglomerations but in a distinctive sense of communities in which countryside was dominated by urban centre.

This volume of papers by influential archaeologists and historians seeks to bring together the two disciplines in exploring the city-country relationship and its impact on social political economic and cultural conditions in classical antiquity. Topics include the rise of the polis in ancient Greece the economic and cultural role of city elites in Athens central Italy and Asia Minor and the role of taxation in subordinating town to country. .

Author's signature to titlepage Former owner's bookplate on inner cover. Red marker underlining and marginalia on about 15 pages or so. Pen marks circling page numbers of table of contents. Minor Shelfwear to book. ; During the thousand years which separate Homer from Plotinus the Greeks and Romans not only created two great literatures and most of our literary genres; they also developed theories of literature and methods of criticism. These though very different from our own have nevertheless greatly influenced modern thinking especially during the early centuries of our modern literatures. Poets like Pindar Aristophanes and Horace philosophers like Plato aristotle and Philodemus orators like Cicero and Quintilian literary scholars like Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Longinus all these have left us records of their various points of view. In this book Professor Grube who is a recognized authority in this field gives us a clear full and reliable analysis of the ancient critical texts and traces the birth and developments of critical thinking thoughout the classical centuries. ; 372 pages; Signed by Author .
