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. .

PETRONIUS: SATYRICON / SENECA: APOCOLOCYNTOSIS
Harvard University Press & William Heinemann. Good with no dust jacket. 1913. Hardcover. Spine ends frayed. Boards are worn. Back hinge is cracked but holding. Damp staining to front inner cover and ffep. Former owner's name on ffep. Pencil notes and marginalia on some pages. ; Loeb Classical Library; 418 pages; Petronius C. Or T. Petronius Arbiter who is reasonably identified with the author of this famous satyric and satiric novel was a man of pleasure and of good literary taste who flourished in the times of Claudius 41�54 CE and Nero 54�68. As Tacitus describes him he used to sleep by day and attend to official duties or to his amusements by night. At one time he was governor of the province of Bithynia in Asia Minor and was also a consul showing himself a man of vigour when this was required. Later he lapsed into indulgence or assumed the mask of vice and became a close friend of Nero. Accused by jealous Tigellinus of disloyalty and condemned with self-opened veins he conversed lightly with friends dined drowsed sent to Nero a survey of Nero's sexual deeds and so died 66 CE. The surviving parts of Petronius's romance Satyricon mix philosophy and real life prose and verse in a tale of the disreputable adventures of Encolpius and two companions Ascyltus and Giton. In the course of their wanderings they attend a showy and wildly extravagant dinner given by a rich freedman Trimalchio whose guests talk about themselves and life in general. Other incidents are a shipwreck and somewhat lurid proceedings in South Italy. The work is written partly in pure Latin but sometimes purposely in a more vulgar style. It parodies and otherwise attacks bad taste in literature pedantry and hollow society. Apocolocyntosis "Pumpkinification" instead of deification is probably by Seneca the wealthy philosopher and courtier ca. 4 BCE�65 CE. It is a medley of prose and verse and a political satire on the Emperor Claudius written soon after he died in 54 CE and was deified. . Harvard University Press & William Heinemann 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. Interest in the special relationship of town and country in the ancient world goes back to Max Weber and beyond. 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. .

THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF CLASSICAL LITERATURE Volume I Part 1: Early Greek Poetry
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1989. Softcover. 0521359813 . Former owner's name on ffep. Light shelfwear. ; The Cambridge History of Classical Literature; 264 pages; The period from the eight to the fifth centuries B. C. Was one of extraordinary creativity in the Greek-speaking world. Poetry was apublic and popular medium and its production was closely related to developments in contemporary society. At the time when the city states were acquiring their distinctive institutions epic found the greatest of all its exponents in Homer and lyric poetry for both solo and choral performance became a genre which attracted poets of the first rank writers of the quality of Sappho Alcaeus and Pindar whose influence on later literature was to be profound. This volume covers the epic tradition the didactic poems of Hesiod and his imitators and the wide-ranging work of the iambic elegiac and lyric poets of what is loosely called the archaic age. .

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 .
