THE FORENSIC STAGE Settling Disputes in Graeco-Roman New Comedy
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Light ding along bottom back edge. Scholars' bookplate to inner cover. Includes scholar's handwritten pencil review notes tipped in. ; 534 pages; This book explores the ways in which legal disputes were settled out of court in fourth-century BC Athens and in second-century BC Rome. After examining pretrial scenarios in the Attic orators and comparable ones in Roman legal sources, the author turns to the plays of Greek New Comedy and their later Roman adaptations. There she identifies similar scenarios, especially in disputes concerning sexual violations, the marriages of heiresses, and divorces, and shows that recognition of legal scenarios aids interpretation of New Comedy texts.

A HISTORICAL COMMENTARY ON TACITUS' HISTORIES I AND II (1 & 2)
Ex-library copy with usual stamps, call numbers and pocket else VG+; Commentary by Prof. Chilver on the first two books of Cornelius Tacitus' first major historical work known as the Histories. In these books I & II, Tacitus describes the fall of the first emperor, Galba, and an account of the war in which the second emperor, Otho, was defeated by Vitellius and committed suicide, and of the challenge of the final victor, Vespasian, presented to Vitellius in the latter part of year A. D. 69. Includes emphasis on the major historical themes, analysis of textural and syntactical problems when their solution is vital to establishing Tacitus' meaning. 280 pgs. Illustrated with two maps: the Roman Empire in A. D. 69, and Eastern Gaul, the Alps, and Northern Italy.; 280 pages

Very Minor shelfwear to DJ. DJ is discolored. Minor shelfwear otherwise to DJ. ; Deals with the last few days of A.

D. 70 in Rome, German and the East, where Vespasian, now supreme master of the Empire, was preparing his return to Rome. Tactius displays his mastery in recounting not only senatorial debates in the capital but also the complexities of the war on the Rhine, in which Roman legions were demoralised and virtually destroyed before the new government was able to send fresh troops to restore the situation. Book V also contains Tacitus' curious account of the history and the country of the Jews, breakin off just before the destruction of Jerusalem. ; 124 pages

Petronius & Seneca; Michael Heseltine & W. H. D. Rouse
PETRONIUS: [SATYRICON] / SENECA: APOCOLOCYNTOSIS
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.

His six plays (all of them extant) , first performed in the 160s B. C. In Rome, were all based on New Comedy models—like other Roman comedies of the time. In contrast to the exuberance and buffoonery of Plautus, Terence gives us realistic scenes and witty, refined Latin.

METAMORPHIC REFLECTIONS Essays Presented To Ben Hijmans At His 75th Birthday
Crease along front wrap else fine. ; 345 pages; This Festschrift honours the Dutch Latinist Ben Hijmans. Besides his studies on Seneca and Ovid, Hijmans published numerous articles on Apuleius' works. In 1973 he initiated the research project Groningen Commentaries on Apuleius, and until his retirement he was editor-in-chief of the series of commentaries issued from that research project. This collection of essays contains a number of important new and original articles on Apuleius' Metamorphoses, on the reception of the Latin novel, and on Apuleius' rhetorical work. The book presents original research on Ovid's Metamorphoses and its reception. Other contributions testify to the broader interests of Ben Hijmans and deal with general cultural aspects, art history, the art of translating, archaeology and iconography. Ben Hijmans' fascination with, and insight into mythical motifs is reflected not only in articles on Pyramus and Thisbe and Actaeon respectively, but also in contributions on Narcissus and on Seneca's mythical tragedies and their transformation in Roman Declamation.

Plastic is lifting in places off DJ. Edgewear to DJ with chipping and a few tears. . 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

READING SIN IN THE WORLD The Hamartigenia of Prudentius and the Vocation of the Responsible Reader
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.

CICEROS ROSCIANA AMERINA Im Prosarhythmus Rekonstruiert
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.

Bottom corners of book lightly bumped else book is fine. ; 246 pages; This volume brings together fifteen studies written since 1972 on the notorious Historia Augusta. Syme advances the theory, supported by computer evidence, that the papers are the work of only one person, rather than six as they purport, and that they were written considerably later than the reigns of Diocletian and Constantine. He argues that, taken as a whole, the papers are a work of "fictional history" and constitute an elaborate and erudite hoax.

German description: Am Ende der klassischen literarischen Tradition steht ein heute fast vergessener, aber ausserst produktiver Autor, der lateinische Dichter Venantius Fortunatus aus dem sechsten Jahrhundert nach Christus. Obwohl er den grossten Teil seines Lebens im Merowingerreich in enger Verbindung zum Kloster der heiligen Radegunde in Poitiers verbringt, stellt er sich doch in die Tradition der lateinischen Literatur und versucht in den verschiedenen Gattungen, in denen er sich literarisch betatigt, diese Tradition in formaler und inhaltlicher Hinsicht zu erweitern, um sich so als aneuer Orpheus einen Platz in der Geschichte der Literatur zu sichern. Das Oeuvre des Venantius Fortunatus umfasst neben elf Buchern Carmina, einem Martinsepos in vier Buchern noch zahlreiche Heiligenviten in Prosa. Anhand der Interpretation ausgewahlter Beispiele aus den einzelnen Gattungen, die in seinem Werk greifbar sind, zeigt Oliver Ehlen, dass das typisch antike Prinzip der aAemulatio auch bei einem Dichter des sechsten Jahrhunderts noch virulent ist.
