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 .

Dustjacket has edgewear with light chipping and a couple of small closed tears along bottom edge. ; The Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome Volume XXXVII; 431 pages; Cosa was a Latin colonia founded under Roman influence in southwestern Tuscany in 273 BC perhaps on land confiscated from the Etruscans. 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

Light bump to bottom of spine. ; 9.5 x 1.25 x 6.5 Inches; 272 pages; <div>Studies of Roman politics have traditionally emphasized individual personalities or groups of personalities and have explained political behavior in terms of contests for individual power or group power. By contrast Roberta Stewart focuses on being the religious institution of the "allotment" of duties among elected officials as a primary control on Roman politics. She examines in detail the procedure of allotment the roles of popular election and allotment in defining public authority and duty and the relationship between the Roman Senate and elected officials. Allotment is seen to reflect Republican ideology about the divine sanction of Roman leadership military enterprise and empire. <br></div><div>Allotment is examined in particular historical contexts and the successive formations of public office in 444 367 and 242 b. C. E. Are analyzed as a series of political solutions in an evolving cultural context. The discussion documents the ritual definition of allotments and the historical development of distinctive features of Republican political office: the equal authority of colleagues collegiality the individual authority and accountability for an allotted function provincia the procedural alternative to allotment comparatio and the hierarchy of offices with imperium the consuls and praetors. Public Office in Early Rome will be of great interest for scholars and students of Roman religion government and history. Roberta Stewart is Associate Professor of Classics Dartmouth College. .
