Rist J. M.
STOIC PHILOSOPHY
Cambridge University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1969. Hardcover. 052107620X . Former scholar's name on inner cover David Furley. Pencil marginalia by Furley on a few pages. Light discoloration to spine. ; Attempts to present a series of Stoic philosophical ideas in some detail in order to give a clearer picture of what Stoic philosophy is about and encourage the view that the Stoics were serious philosophers. ; 310 pages; Literature on the Stoa has recently concentrated on historical accounts of the development of the school and on Stoicism as a social movement. Professor Rist�s approach is to examine in detail a series of philosophical problems discussed by leading members of the Stoic school. He is not concerned with social history or with the influence of Stoicism on popular beliefs in the Ancient world but with such questions as the relation between Stoicism and the thought of Aristotle the meaning and purpose of such Stoic paradoxes as �all sins are equal� and the philosophical interrelation of Stoic physics and ethics. There are chapters on aspects of Stoic logic and on the thought of particular thinkers such as Panaetius and Posidonius but ethical problems occupy the centre of the stage. .

Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 276 pages; The first three chapters of this book elucidate the scholastic goals of both classical cultures during the Roman Imperial period. Apuleius' works share the stage in these chapters with representatives of the second-century Greek cultural paradigm. They define patterns of discourse and fit selected examples of analogous Apuleian strategies into the broader cultural framework. Subsequent chapters focus closely on the complete Apuleian corpus under the general headings of Apuleius in the roles of orator philosopher and novelist. Two of Apuleius' philosophical works and his novel the Golden Ass provide an unparalleled opportunity to analyze the methods of translation and adaptation employed by the major Latin writer of the second half of the second century. .

DIE LINKE HAND Wahrnehmung Und Bewertung in Der Griechischen Und R�mischen Antike
Franz Steiner Verlag. Near Fine. 2010. Softcover. 3515094490 . Very light rubbing else Fine. ; Heidelberger Althistorische Beitrage Und Epigraphische Studien Band 47; Vol. 47; 283 pages; English summary: Human perception includes the division of space into left and right. In general left holds a negative connotation: A clumsy man appears linkisch in German links meaning left and the term translates as awkward. If you conned him he has been gelinkt. For a long time this negative coloring was also closely associated with the image of left-handers: Left-handers were often regarded as disabled appeared awkward and antisocial and were exposed to discrimination. To understand the people of ancient Greece and Rome one must understand the role right and left played in their perception and evaluation of the world. Henning Wirth studies the following questions from an ancient historical perspective: How did the Greeks and Romans perceive left What role was provided to the left hand in a dominantly right-handed world where the right hand attested Godly effectiveness And how does one explain the phenomenon of left-handedness and assessment of left-handed people German text. German description: Zur menschlichen Wahrnehmung gehort die Einteilung des Raumes in links und rechts. Dabei ist links in der Regel negativ konnotiert: Ein ungeschickter Mensch erscheint alinkisch. Hat man ihn betrogen so hat man ihn agelinkt. Lange Zeit war diese Negativfarbung auch eng mit dem Bild uber Linkshander verknupft: Linkshander galten oftmals als behindert erschienen asozial und ungeschickt und waren Diskriminierungen ausgesetzt. Will man den Menschen der griechischen und romischen Antike verstehen muss man nachvollziehen welche Rolle rechts und links in seiner Wahrnehmung und Bewertung der Welt spielten. Aus althistorischer Perspektive untersucht Henning Wirth hier folgende Fragen: Welche Vorstellungen besassen Griechen und Romer von links' Welche Rolle war in einer mehrheitlich aus Rechtshandern bestehenden Welt in der der rechten Hand gottliche Wirkkraft attestiert wurde fur die linke Hand vorgesehen' Und wie erklarte man sich das Phanomen der Linkshandigkeit und bewertete linkshandige Menschen' .

Riedlberger Peter
PHILOLOGISCHER HISTORISCHER UND LITURGISCHER KOMMENTAR ZUM 8. BUCH DER JOHANNIS DES GORIPP Nebst Kritischer Edition Und �bersetzung
Egbert Forsten. Fine. 2010. Hardcover. 9069801574 . Peter Riedlberger�s award-winning thesis offers an exhaustive commentary on the 8th and last book of the Iohannis. This poem intrigues its readers one more than one account: Using the well-established form of Latin epic it offers a fascinating window into the world of reconquered Roman Africa ca. 550 A. D. On one level the commentary tries to elucidate the numerous allusions to contemporary events persons and realia; on another level it firmly sets the poem in the Latin epic tradition distinguishing clearly between poetical conventions and descriptions of real-life facts. The 8th book includes an elaborate Byzantine field mass; hence the commentary�s characterisation as �liturgical�. In addition to the commentary this book comprises a critical edition of the 8th book which differs considerably from the current standard edition the first-ever German translation and a comprehensive introduction which inter alia establishes the true name of the author Gorippus not Corippus and challenges the current notion of the function and role of late antique panegyrics. Strong points include the book�s high readability its many illustrations which include useful maps and several reproductions from the codex unicus which are used habitually to prove deviant readings and its modern layout which distributes the poem�s text and translation over the commentary rather than forcing the reader to use two bookmarks. The book comes with comprehensive indices. ; 503 pages; Text in German . Egbert Forsten hardcover

The largest group of works focus on Socrates his students and on schools founded by these students.

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.

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. .

Fantham Elaine
LATIN POETS AND ITALIAN GODS
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. .
