Franz Steiner Verlag. Fine with no dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 3515093281 . Philosophie Der Antike Pha Band 31; 391 pages; English summary: This volume contains 20 works on ancient philosophy and its after-effects written during the period from 1978 to 2008. The largest group of works focus on Socrates his students and on schools founded by these students. Topics include: reconstructing the philosophical views of Socrates' students Antisthenes Euclid Aristippus Phaidon and Aeschines whose writings have been lost; pursuing the question of how far with the help of the results obtained to-date a picture of the philosophy of Socrates can be won that can supplement and correct the one distilled from the surviving writings of Plato and Xenophon; following the progress of the schools Cynics Megarians and Cyrenaics founded by Soctrates' students Antisthenes Euclid and Aristippus which were of considerable importance to the emergence of the two great schools of the Stoics and the Epicureans; showing the impact of Socrates on our own time with a few examples. In addition the volume contains essays on Plato the ancient political theory the philosophy of the imperial period and the reception of Epictetus' handbook of morals from antiquity to the present day. German text. German description: Der Band enthalt 20 in dem Zeitraum von 1978 bis 2008 entstandene Arbeiten zur antiken Philosophie und ihrer Nachwirkung. Die umfangreichste Gruppe bilden Arbeiten zu Sokrates seinen Schulern und den von diesen begrundeten Schulen. In ihnen geht es vor allem darum 1. die philosophischen Anschauungen der Sokratesschuler Antisthenes Eukleides Aristipp Phaidon und Aischines zu rekonstruieren deren Schriften verloren gegangen sind 2. der Frage nachzugehen wieweit sich mit Hilfe der dabei gewonnenen Ergebnisse ein Bild von der Philosophie des Sokrates gewinnen lasst das dasjenige das sich aus den erhaltenen Schriften Platons und Xenophons herausdestillieren lasst erganzt und korrigiert 3. die Entwicklung der von den Sokratesschulern Antisthenes Eukleides und Aristipp begrundeten Schulen der Kyniker Megariker und Kyrenaiker zu verfolgen die fur die Entstehung der beiden grossen Schulen der Stoiker und der Epikureer von erheblicher Bedeutung waren und 4. die Nachwirkung des Sokrates bis in unsere Zeit an einzelnen Beispielen darzustellen. Ausserdem enthalt der Band Aufsatze zu Platon zur antiken politischen Theorie zur Philosophie der Kaiserzeit und zur Rezeption von Epiktets Handbuchlein der Moral von der Antike bis in unsere Zeit. .

GALEN ON BLOODLETTING A Study of the Origins Development and Validity of his Opinions with a Translation of the Three Works
Cambridge University Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. 0521320852 . 202 pages; For more than two thousand years almost all doctors in the West used bloodletting to treat a great variety of diseases and conditions. In an attempt to find out why they acted thus Dr Brain has translated the three works on bloodletting by the second-century physician Galen which provide by far the most comprehensive account of the practice in antiquity. This is the first published version of these works in a modern language. After a brief summary of Galen's medical system the author goes on to consider the origins of Galen's ideas and methods with particular reference to the Hippocratic writings and the question why Galen in common with most of the ancient physicians believed in the efficacy of the comedy. The effects of bloodletting are considered in terms of modem physiology and medicine and the possibility is explored that it may indeed have been beneficial in the conditions prevailing in Galen's time. .

University of Toronto Press. Near Fine in Very Good- dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 1442640596 . Large closed tear to back panel of DJ 8cm. Now protected in mylar sleeve. Bottom corners slightly bumped. ; The Robson Classical Lectures; 256 pages; Based on Elaine Fantham's 2004 Robson lectures Latin Poets and Italian Gods reconstructs the response of Roman poets in the late republic and Augustan age to the rural cults of central Italy. Study of Roman gods is often limited to the grand equivalents of the Olympian Greek deities such as Jupiter Mars and Juno. However real-life Italians gave a lot of their affection and loyalty to humbler gods with no Greek equivalent: local nymphs who supplied healing waters the great Tiber river and other lesser rivers the lusty garden god Priapus and more. Latin Poets and Italian Gods surveys the representation of these old country gods in poets from Plautus to Statius. Fantham offers historical and epigraphic evidence of worship offered to these colourful lesser spirits and reveals the emotional importance of local Italian deities to the sophisticated poets of the Augustan age. .

TACITUS THULE AND CALEDONIA The Achievements of Agricola's Navy in Their True Perspective
Archaeopress. Fine. 2008. Softcover. 1407302744 . British Archaeological Reports B. A. R. British Series 459; 118 pages; The purpose of this book is to put the achievements of Agricolas navy apparently understated by Tacitus in their true perspective with the proposition that the Roman fleet reached the furthest limit of the known world Thule or Mainland Shetland where it located a convenient anchorage possibly in Lerwick harbour. To support this theory firstly the identification of Thule as Shetland during the classical period from the time of Pytheas onwards is investigated through collation of geographical sources secondly the earliest manuscript of Tacitus Agricola comes under closer scrutiny at the relevant points than ever before and finally contemporary literature is reassessed to determine the significance of Caledonia and Thule in the Flavian propaganda machine and to suggest the first Roman presence in the Shetland Islands. .
