Southern, Pat
CLEOPATRA
DJ in mylar; Cleopatra was intimately involved in the critical years that saw the Roman Republic transformed into the Roman Empire. How this transition appeared to the Queen of Egypt - and the part she played in it - is the subject of Pat Southern's engrossing new biography. Descended from the first Ptolemy, one of the companions of Alexander the Great, Cleopatra was the last in a long line of Macedonian rulers of Egypt. It was Julius Caesar's involvement in an Alexandrian civil war that led to her being set up as Queen of Egypt. She also had an affair with Caesar, by whom she produced a son Ptolemy Caesar, better known as Caesarion. A good linguist, intelligent and shrewd, she soon proved herself an able administrator - and ruthless when necessary. For two years she was a guest of Caesar's in Rome, but on his assassination she returned to Alexandria - where in turn Mark Antony was to become her geust and lover. Over the years of their acquaintance they produced three children. However, Roman sensibilities were greatly disturbed by the Donations of Alexandria whereby Antony distributed vast areas of the east to Cleopatra and their children, and their behavior allowed Octavian (the future emperor Augustus) to brand the Egyptian Queen as the arch enemy, worse than Hannibal, nearer than the Parthians and powerful because she had access to Antony's legions. ; 160 pages

Byblos et la fête des Adonies.
Royal octavo. Pp. 92. Plus a suite of 15 plates bound at end. With 12 figures and maps to the text. Hardcover, bound in the original publisher's green full cloth, gilt lettering to cover and spine. In a very good condition. ~ First edition. [NOTE:] It should be noted that Brill publishers currently offer this book as a digitalized - laser-printed - reproduction, a so-called print-on-request, while not identifying this as such, but presenting it as a "new" copy from the original edition, which now is over 50 years old. We have examined and compared both editions, and the difference in quality is obvious to the bare eye. Might be of importance for the purists to be aware of this.

Springborg, Patricia
ROYAL PERSONS Patriarchal Monarchy and the Feminine Principle
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Book has minor shelfwear. ; Inscription on ffep by author. ; 1 x 9.5 x 6.5 Inches; 342 pages; It is the thesis of this book that the birth of the state, usually associated with the emergence of the Greek "polis", can in fact be traced in the foundation myths and practices of the ancient Egyptian monarchy to which the feminine principle is crucial. The central significance of women is demonstrated through exploration of Egyptian, Hittite, Babylonian and other myths, in which we have an account of the creation as a birth struggle. Creation ends with the enthronement of kings and, and although from the beginning there is no doubt that the first monarchies were patriarchal, the processes of empowerment were female. The powers of Hathor and Tiamat, Ishtar and Anath reside in their reproductive capacities, as powers of creativity of which the social power of kings is merely imitative. The form in which the institutional longevity of political office was first expressed was that of "twinning". This notion that the king had two bodies - one his mortal body and one his immortal "other" - can be seen in the concept of Greek "daimon", in the "genius" of the Roman Emperor and the "mystical body" of European Kings. It has its prototype in the pharaoh and his "ka". The "ka" as an imperishable "double" designated the corporate life of all social collectivities in ancient Egypt, the basis perhaps for the "corporation" and its institutional "representative" in Roman Law and early modern political theory. It seems, that the ancient monarchy may have represented a real altenative to the hegemonic male warrior "polis" to which we owe so many of our political institutions, and legitimating myths. The modern welfare state itself, which grew up under the wings of Kings, owes more to the conception of divine bounty dispensed through beneficent monarchs than to the assertive individualism of classical republicanism. ; Signed by Author
