THE FOUNDATION OF ROME Myth and History
Cornell University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 080143114X . Top corners lightly bumped. Light general soiling. ; 9.5 x 0.75 x 6.5 Inches; 236 pages; "The Foundation of Rome is one of the few intelligent books on the subject neither hypercritical nor visionary; its particular strength lies in the skillful interweaving of modern historiography and ideology with ancient history. "--Jerzy Linderski University of North Carolina. At once a historical essay and a self-conscious meditation on the writing of history The Foundation of Rome takes as its starting point a series of accounts of Rome's origins offered over the course of centuries. Alexandre Grandazzi places these accounts in their contemporary contexts and shows how the growing sophistication in methodology gradually changed the accepted views of the city's origins. He looks for example at the hypercritical philology of the nineteenth century which cast aside everything that could not be verified. He then explains how the increase in archaeological discoveries and changing archaeological techniques influenced the story of Rome's birth. Grandazzi produces a depiction of Rome's origins that is both up-to-date and provocative. His use of scientific parallels in describing changes in the ways texts were analyzed and his broad familiarity with comparative material make his synthesis particularly illuminating and he writes with clarity verve and wit. .

THE ARGUMENTS OF THE EMPEROR JULIAN AGAINST THE CHRISTIANS Translated from the Greek Fragments Preserved by Cyril Bishop of Alexandria; to Which Are Added Extracts from the Other Works of Julian Relative to the Christians
Ares Publishers Inc. Fine with no dust jacket. 1980. Hardcover. 0890053014 . Exact Reprint of the Tetypeset original 1809 Chicago 1930 ARES PUBLISHERS INC. In his school edict Julian prohibits Christian teachers from using pagan scripts e. G. The Illias that formed the core of Roman education. This was an attempt to remove some of the power of Christian schools by alienating their students from Roman society not to mention a satirical attack at what Julian may have viewed as a hypocrisy: Christian schools teaching the Bible as the sole source of knowledge while simultaneously teaching classical pagan texts as well knowledge of which was needed for success in Roman society. In his tolerance edict of 362 Julian decreed the reopening of pagan temples the restitution of alienated temple properties and called back Christian bishops that were exiled by church edicts. The latter was an instance of tolerance of different religious views but may also have been an attempt by Julian to widen a schism between different Christian sects further weakening the Christian movement as a whole. ; 8.25 x 0.5 x 5.5 Inches; 119 pages .

RELIGIONS OF LATE ANTIQUITY IN PRACTICE
Princeton University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0691057508 . Bottom corners are lightly bumped otherwise Fine condition. ; This is an unprecedented collection of nearly seventy Late Antique primary religious texts. These texts--all in new English translation and many appearing in English for the first time--represent every major religious current from the late first century until the rise of Islam. Produced through the efforts of thirty-six leading scholars in the field they constitute a comprehensive view of religious practice in Late Antiquity. Religious life and performance during this period comprised diverse often unusual practices. Philosophical ascent magic legal pronouncement hymnography dietary and sexual restriction and rhetoric were all part of this deeply fascinating world. Religious and political identity often intertwined as reflected in the Roman persecution of Christians. And a fluid boundary between religion and superstition was contested in daily life. Many practices including ascetic training crossed religious boundaries. Others such as "incubation" at specific temples and certain divination rites were distinctive practices of individual groups and orders. Intrinsically interesting the practice of religion in the Late Antique also edifies modern-day religious life. As this volume shows the origins of the contemporary Western religious terrain can be gleaned in this period. Rabbinic Judaism flourished and spread. Christianity developed still-important theological categories and structures. And even movements that did not survive intact--such as Neoplatonism and the once-powerful Manichaean churches--continue to influence religion today. This rich sourcebook includes discussions of asceticism religious organization ritual martyrdom religion's social implications law and theology. Its unique emphasis on practice and its inclusion of texts translated from lesser-known languages advance the study of religious history in several directions. A strong interdisciplinary orientation will reward scholars and students of religion theology gender studies classical literatures and history. Each text is accompanied by an introduction and a bibliography for further reading and research making the book appropriate for use in any university or seminary classroom. ; 1.32 x 9.56 x 6.54 Inches; 527 pages .

DJ is torn along top of spine. Soiling and a few nicks to DJ. ; 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 .

Richardson, Wade
READING AND VARIANT IN PETRONIUS Studies in the French Humanists and Their Manuscript Sources
University of Toronto Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0802028667 . Light rubbing to front cover. ; Critical editions of most classical authors are based on readings transmitted by medieval scholars that can be examined and collated. Modern editions of Petronius on the other hand are principally based on printed editions most of them published in France during the sixteenth century. In this volume T. Wade Richardson considers the use made of the Petronius manuscripts then extant by seven French humanist editors for their various editions commentaries and notes. Some of the manuscripts they used may be equated with extant exemplars which therefore serve as a good check on the quality of their readings. But as much as half of the text rests on the sixteenth-century witness alone. Through a broad and integrated study of the problems of the Petronius text the author attempts to unravel the tangled skein of humanist work on Petronius to settle some of the old textual puzzles and to solidify the text and recast the apparatus. Richardson also provides information on the codicology and palaeography of the texts and on the talents and habits of the scholars who created them. ; Phoenix Supplementary Volume; 0.84 x 9.42 x 5.98 Inches; 187 pages .

Effros, Bonnie
MEROVINGIAN MORTUARY ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE MAKING OF THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES
University of California Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2003. Hardcover. 0520232445 . Clothing jewelry animal remains ceramics coins and weaponry are among the artifacts that have been discovered in graves in Gaul dating from the fifth to eighth century. Those who have unearthed them from the middle ages to the present have speculated widely on their meaning. This authoritative book makes a major contribution to the study of death and burial in late antique and early medieval society with its long overdue systematic discussion of this mortuary evidence. Tracing the history of Merovingian archaeology within its cultural and intellectual context for the first time Effros exposes biases and prejudices that have colored previous interpretations of these burial sites and assesses what contemporary archaeology can tell us about the Frankish kingdoms. Working at the intersection of history and archaeology and drawing from anthropology and art history Effros emphasizes in particular the effects of historical events and intellectual movements on French and German antiquarian and archaeological studies of these grave goods. Her discussion traces the evolution of concepts of nationhood race and culture and shows how these concepts helped shape an understanding of the past. Effros then turns to contemporary multidisciplinary methodologies and finds that we are still limited by the types of information that can be readily gleaned from physical and written sources of Merovingian graves. For example since material evidence found in the graves of elite families and particularly elite men is more plentiful and noteworthy mortuary goods do not speak as directly to the conditions in which women and the poor lived. The clarity and sophistication with which Effros discusses the methods and results of European archaeology is a compelling demonstration of the impact of nationalist ideologies on a single discipline and of the struggle toward the more pluralistic vision that has developed in the post-war years. ; 1.05 x 9.24 x 6.38 Inches; 272 pages .

Scholten, Joseph B.
THE POLITICS OF PLUNDER Aitolians and Their Koinon in the Early Hellenistic Era 279-217 B. C.
University of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0520201876 . Light shelfwear to DJ. ; Between 279 and 229 B. C. the Aitolian koinon a federation of mountain cantons in west central Greece expanded to incorporate many of the neighboring lands and peoples lying between the Adriatic and Aegean Seas. This new political configuration contributed to the development of modern systems of federal democracy based on proportional representation. Despite these institutional advances the Aitolians and their polity are reviled in the ancient historical tradition which views them as backward semi-barbarous brigands. The Politics of Plunder is the first English-language book in over a century to examine the political history of the Aitolian koinon in its era of expansion. Joseph Scholten presents a chronological reconstruction of the koinon's course of expansion synthesizing a number of recent studies covering Aitolian topography epigraphy and institutional development that help to compensate for deficiencies in the ancient narrative record. His study is the first to ask how a people and a polity so detested by their contemporaries succeeded in making such fundamental contributions to their regional political culture. Scholten's careful investigation charts a middle course that neither whitewashes the Aitolians nor credulously accepts the biased ancient tradition. This balanced approach provides a much-needed fresh perspective on the Aitolians and their koinon. Discussing the history of the ancient Aegean Greek world and the political economic and social history of the Hellenistic Era this book will interest anyone concerned with those subjects or fascinated by the development of ancient Greek political institutions and theories particularly federalism. ; Hellenistic Culture and Society; 2.72 x 9.31 x 7.94 Inches; 339 pages .

Louden, Bruce
THE ODYSSEY Structure Narration and Meaning
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 080186058X . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 0.98 x 9.37 x 6.31 Inches; 208 pages; Bruce Louden's bold re-reading of the Odyssey -- the first attempt in years to map in detail the poem's overall structure -- offers new insights into the artistry of Odysseus' mythic voyage and enriches our understanding of Homer's masterful craftsmanship. Louden's groundbreaking work uncovers an extended narrative pattern repeated in full three times which reveals the poem's underlying skeletal structure. This organizational analysis helps to explain the existence of several characters or episodes sometimes dismissed as extraneous as late additions or even as corruptions to Homer's original intent. In addition Louden's discovery strengthens the suggestion that the Odyssey was the product of oral tradition. By repeating this sequence of successive motifs a single improvising bard could explore a variety of complex ideas within a poem as long as the Odyssey. Though centrally concerned with the form of Homer's rich and complex plot Louden's study is not exclusively or even primarily formalistic. His investigation involves the study of characters' names challenges faced by Odysseus the structure of the poem and roles assigned to the poem's female characters. Louden's comprehensive achievement gives the reader a fresh perspective on the role of divine hostility and the artistry of an epic survivor on his timeless journey home. .

Clark Matthew
OUT OF LINE Homeric Composition Beyond the Hexameter
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0847686973 . Very light shelfwear ; Building upon the groundbreaking work of Milman Parry and Albert Lord "Out of Line" presents a new theory of Homeric composition focusing upon patterns that extend beyond the boundary of the line and the clause. Matthew Clark takes enjambment as a starting point analyzing the techniques used by the poet to complete a line that begins with a runover. Clark proceeds to propose two levels of analysis a "deep-structure" level which describes the associations of words and ideas before they take metrical form and a "surface-structure" level which describes the words as they are employed on any particular occasion. "Out of Line" combines formulaic and metrical analysis expanding the study of Homeric meter both in practice by taking into account larger compositional structures such as entire scenes and in theory by using the results to test models of formulaic composition. This book is important for students and scholars of Homer epic and oral literature. ; 0.83 x 9.29 x 6.19 Inches; 264 pages . Rowman & Littlefield Publishers hardcover
