AN ENQUIRY INTO THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF HOMER 1736
Georg Olms Hildesheim. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1976. Hardcover. 3487060027 . Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket. ; Reprint of the 2nd edition; Anglistica & Americana; 1735. Blackwell a Scottish classical scholar first published this work anonymously. The work was intended to explain the causes of the superiority of Homer to all the poets who preceded or followed him. It shows considerable research and contains many curious and interesting details but its want of method made Bentley say that when he had gone through half of it he had forgotten the beginning and when he had finished the reading of it he had forgotten the whole. .

Rawson, Beryl & Paul Weaver
THE ROMAN FAMILY IN ITALY Status Sentiment Space
Oxford University Press. Fine. 1999. Softcover. 0198152833 . National University Series; 0.87 x 9.06 x 6.14 Inches; 400 pages; The family continues to be seen as a central institution in Roman as well as modern Western society. The Roman family is often used as a stereotype sometimes of severity sometimes of decadence with its decline often cited as a cause of wider decline and fall. Definitions and concepts continue to be modified and nuanced however as the availability of new evidence and new methodologies make possible a much less simplistic picture. In this volume the study of family draws on a wide range of disciplines to develop the intertwined themes of status sentiment and space. For example on status there are contributions about Junian Latins and a survey of senators' monuments while sentiment is represented by a gloomy but convincing picture of old age and a paper on the sentimental ideal which argues that conflict as well as concord is a feature of family life. Space is represented among others by the contribution on who commemorates whom in Roman Italy pointing up the regional variations in custom and the difficulties in tracing complete families. The final contributions focus on the house: how people lived in the Roman house the use of rooms and the artefacts that might indicate this use. The book makes use of many types of evidence from the legal and literary to the iconographical and archaeological. Visual and material evidence play an important role in reconstructing real lives in considerable colour and variety. The book moves beyond the city of Rome to the rest of Roman Italy and even into the provinces just as Roman culture moved outwards and mingled with other cultures. Chronologically too there are new directions towards the later Empire and Christianity. So although the contributors do not abandon any of the territory already gained in Rome nor literary and epigraphical sources nor the late Republic or early Empire there is an exciting sense of new discovery. .

Price considers how this idea unites the philosophers' treatments of love and friendship which are otherwise very different and demonstrates that this view of love and friendship applied not only to personal relationships but also to the household and even the city-state promises to resolve the old dichotomy between egoism and altruism. ; 278 pages .

One small bump along top edge of board else Fine. ; 9 x 0.75 x 6.25 Inches; 227 pages; This book features the efforts of a group of academics from diverse disciplines that have been working together to highlight the presence of the parrot in selected texts across the centuries. Their common purpose is to demonstrate that fictional parrots invariably function as more than decoration comedy or badges denoting the eccentricity of their human owners. These versatile and talented birds function as markers for subtle literary techniques. Using the parrot as an interpretative tool the focus is on a range of narrative strategies and metaphorical meanings employed by the authors in question and argue that these are embodied in the attributes of the speaking bird who figures significantly in each work.

Light bump to top of front board. ; Studies and Texts Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies 24; 125 pages; With the Liber de novitatibus huius temporis epistola ad Adrianum Papam Master Gerhoch 10931169 provost of Reichersberg in Bavaria attempted in 11551156 to inform Pope Hadrian IV 11541159 of the doctrinal novelties of his time the notorious abuses of both secular and ecclesiastical authorities and the scandalous laxity among clergy and religious and to point out the remedies legislated by councils convoked by Innocent II11301143 and Eugene III 11451153. The principal doctrinal innovators denounced by Gerhoch were Peter Abelard d. 1141 and Gilbert bishop of Poitiers d. 1154. As early as 1126 Gerhoch debated with disciples of Abelard at the Roman curia; and beginning in the fifties Master Peter of Vienna a disciple of Bishop Gilbert antagonized Gerhoch a great deal. Gerhoch also tells Hadrian that clerical authorities not only keep armies but also abuse them by waging disorderly wars. Secular powers on the other hand recklessly usurp the goods of the Church for their own ends and fail to pay tithes imposed by Gregory I. In both France and Germany the pope is told the low moral conduct of the clergy calls for more stringent reform. Gerhoch advises the pope also to restrain loud-mouthed jurists in both secular and ecclesiastical courts since they often make their cases so convoluted that it becomes impossible to solve them. This edition of the Latin text is supplemented with a detailed introduction to the issues discussed an extensive bibliography concerning Gerhoch as well as indexes and a glossary .

One of the last textual references to Cosa comes from the work of Rutilius Claudius Namatianus in his De reditu suo. In the passage 1.285-90 Rutilius remarks that by 416 the site of Cosa was deserted and could be seen to be in ruins. In the 20th century Cosa was the site of excavations carried out under the auspices of the American Academy in Rome initially under the direction of the archaeologist Frank Edward Brown. Excavations 1948-54 1965-72 have traced the city plan the principal buildings the port and have uncovered the Arx the forum and a number of houses. Unexcavated buildings include a bathing establishment but no trace of a theater or an amphitheater has been found. In the 1990s a limited series of excavations were carried out under the direction of Elizabeth Fentress then associated with the American Academy in Rome. This latter campaign aimed at understanding the history of the site between the imperial period and the middle agest. Sample excavations took place over the whole site with larger excavations on the Arx the Eastern Height and around the Forum. . Pennsylvania State University Press hardcover
