‎Paris Peytieux, Galerie Delorme 1825 in-8 de xii et 307 pp. br‎

‎Loukia Droulia 849. Contominas 275. Manquait à Blackmer et à Atabey, qui possédaient l'édition anglaise de la même année. Édition originale de la traduction française."Gamba was the brother of Byron's mistress Teresa Guiccioli. He became Byron's secretary and was with him through the Greek adventure to the end. After Byron's death he came to London where he published this work with the approval and assistance of Hobhouse. He returned to Greece, joined Colonel Fabvier, and died at Methana in 1826. The Narrative was translated very soon after its publication in English (…) Moore regards Gamba's account as a 'discreet but very valuable record of Byron's last days'. Stanhope quoted Byron saying that Gamba and Hobhouse were the two most fitted to write his biography because Hobhouse was his companion in his youth and 'Gamba knew all his latter years'…" [Leonora Navari]‎

‎Ganz Paolo‎

‎La Grecia di isola in isola. Orizzonti di mare sulle tracce di Ulisse‎

‎br. «Nella luce impareggiabile di luoghi come questo, ritrovo il mito assoluto dell'antica Grecia, quel senso di struggente malinconia che mi afferra quando guardo il mare dalle coste a picco, gli uccelli pelagici che si avventurano in eterno volo dove l'uomo non può; dove l'orizzonte si confonde inesorabilmente con il cielo. Laggiù qualcosa sembra apparire e dare ragione al nostro esistere, lo stesso punto incerto e misterioso dove ogni nostra certezza non ha più alcun sostegno né corso». Un viaggio tra le isole greche in cui si intrecciano incontri e sapori, letteratura e storia, tragedia e mito. E mentre il Meltemi fa tintinnare nella notte greca una collana di conchiglie, Paolo Ganz fissa il pensiero con l'inchiostro nei suoi taccuini che profumano di carta e di sale. Dall'italiana Rodi, alla veneziana Creta - passando per la Megisti di Mediterraneo - fino a Corfù, ritenuta dagli studiosi dell'Odissea la terra dei Feaci, la sua rotta solitaria si dipana tra una continua profonda riflessione e la sorpresa di scoprire che il baricentro d'Europa si trova molto più a sud di quanto abbiamo sempre pensato.‎

‎Agricultural co-operatives in South and Central Europe, 19th-20th century : a comparative approach.‎

‎Athènes, Academy of Athens, 2013, gr. in-8°, 303 pp, Introduction de Catherine Brégianni, 16 photos et fac-similés, tableaux et graphiques, broché, couv. illustrée à rabats, bon état. 14 études. Texte en anglais‎

‎"L’histoire rurale européenne est en pleine mutation depuis une vingtaine d’année. L’ouvrage dirigé par Helen Gardikas-Katsiadakis et Catherine Bregianni constitue une excellente illustration de ce phénomène. Il est d’autant plus intéressant qu’il porte plus particulièrement sur des espaces (l’Europe centrale et orientale, en particulier la Grèce contemporaine) et une thématique (les coopératives agricoles) qui sont en définitive assez mal connus. Il s’agit, au-delà des aspects institutionnels, qui ont fait l’objet de travaux déjà anciens et parfois datés, de s’intéresser aux conditions de l’émergence des coopératives agricoles, sur le plan institutionnel, économique (comme moyen d’accès au marché et comme moyens de diffusion des innovations techniques par exemple), politique (comme mécanismes de contrôle social). La première partie (six contributions), intitulée « Agricultural cooperatives as factors of national economies : systemic and institutional approches » vise à rendre compte des liens complexes entre la sphère politique et les coopératives dans divers espaces nationaux (Grèce, Estonie, Espagne, Portugal). (...) La seconde partie (quatre contributions), est consacrée à l’examen de l’activité des coopératives dans différents contextes régionaux et dans des conjonctures de moyen et court terme. (...) La troisième partie de l’ouvrage intitulé « Idelogical patterns and Ehtnographical parameters » porte exclusivement sur la Grèce." (Laurent Herment, Histoire et sociétés rurales, 2014)‎

‎Guerre et économie en Grèce ancienne.‎

‎Coll. "Textes à l'appui", Paris, éd. La Découverte, 1989, in-8, cartonnage souple, couv. photo en coul. sur fond blanc éditeur, 226 pp., table des matières, "Les hauts faits d'armes de la Grèce ancienne n'ont cessé de nourrir l'imagination occidentale : guerre de Troie, guerres médiques, guerre du Péloponnèse, conquêtes d'Alexandre, etc. Ces événements s'inscrivent en fait dans une longue histoire où les guerres ont rythmé l'existence quotidienne des cités et des royaumes, et influencé largement leurs institutions, leurs façons de vivre et leurs systèmes de valeurs. Bien loin de l'histoire-batailles en vogue au siècle dernier, cet ouvrage - devenu une référence depuis sa première édition en 1989 - explore les voies nouvelles d'une histoire de la guerre antique inscrite dans son contexte social et économique. Yvon Garlan montre en particulier à quel point la guerre était étroitement liée à la vie économique dans la Grèce ancienne : le principal mode d'exploitation (l'esclavage) se fondait directement ou indirectement sur l'usage de la force, et le droit du vainqueur à disposer des biens du vaincu constituait le meilleur des titres de propriété".

‎La guerre dans l'Antiquité.‎

‎Fernand Nathan, 1972, in-8°, 224 pp, 31 illustrations, biblio, lexique, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état‎

‎Depuis la Renaissance, nombreux ont été les traités sur l'art militaire des Grecs et des Romains mais peu d'historiens se sont véritablement intéressés à la guerre elle-même en tant que mode d'expression, de structuration et de développement des sociétés antiques. Telle est la voie, nouvelle et par là même périlleuse, sur laquelle s'est engagé l'auteur de ce livre. Son propos vise à une meilleure compréhension de l'évolution historique, et non à un renouveau de l'histoire-batailles. Dans un style précis et clair, ce manuel fait le point sur les savoirs concernant les lois de la guerre, la structure et la composition des sociétés militaires, l'organisation des armées et les techniques de combat dans le monde gréco-romain. — "Le volume que Y.G. vient de publier ne se veut pas une synthèse de nos connaissances sous la forme d'une monographie classique, mais une suite de courtes mises au point sur l'ensemble des problèmes que pose la guerre. Il s'agit donc plus d'un état des questions, assorti d'une excellente bibliographie, que d'un exposé discursif et suivi. Le sujet est abordé de façon franche, directe et loyale, dans une langue délibérément simple, dépourvue des ambiguïtés ou des floraisons de rhétorique qui, souvent, dissimulent les difficultés, ou au contraire, font croire qu'elles sont résolues. Ainsi, par exemple, après avoir exposé de manière détaillée la genèse et l'évolution de la phalange d'hoplites, Y.G. ne cherche pas à cacher notre ignorance sur l'un des points les plus intriguants, celui de la relation entre l'évolution de la société et l'apparition des hoplites : cause ou conséquence d'une révolution sociale ? Cet ouvrage est donc très concret, très précis. Il embrasse l'ensemble des problèmes de la guerre..." (Pierre Ducrey, Revue Archéologique, 1974)‎

‎Pestilence and the Body Politic in Latin Literature‎

‎8vo, hardcover in dj, 320pp. Scientists, journalists, novelists, and filmmakers continue to generate narratives of contagion, stories shaped by a tradition of disease discourse that extends to early Greco-Roman literature. Lucretius, Vergil, and Ovid developed important conventions of the western plague narrative as a response to the breakdown of the Roman res publica in the mid-first century CE and the reconstitution of stabilized government under the Augustan Principate (31 BCE-14 CE): relying on the metaphoric relationship between the human body and the body politic, these authors used largely fictive representations of epidemic disease to address the collapse of the social order and suggest remedies for its recovery. Theorists such as Susan Sontag and René Girard have observed how the rhetoric of disease frequently signals social, psychological, or political pathologies, but their observations have rarely been applied to Latin literary practices. Pestilence and the Body Politic in Latin Literature explores how the origins and spread of outbreaks described by Roman writers enact a drama in which the concerns of the individual must be weighed against those of the collective, staged in an environment signalling both reversion to a pre-historic Golden Age and the devastation characteristic of a post-apocalyptic landscape. Such innovations in Latin literature have impacted representations as diverse as Carlo Coppola's paintings of a seventeenth-century outbreak of bubonic plague in Naples and Margaret Atwood's Maddaddam Trilogy. Understanding why Latin writers developed these tropes for articulating contagious disease and imbuing them with meaning for the collapse of the Roman body politic allows us to clarify what more recent disease discourses mean both for their creators and for the populations they afflict in contemporary media.‎

He also discusses such topics as the condition of slaves in the various poleis, the role played by slaves in political life and in civic defense, the rarity of genuine slave revolts, and the means by which slaves and Helots sometimes reached accommodation with their masters. ; 0.75 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 310 pages‎

The method of analysis is dense description assembled mostly from classical literary and philosophic sources and broken down into the general topics of conception and pregnancy birth childhood coming of age early adulthood and elders and the elderly. What emerges is a conception of the human being as a social animal par excellence whose nature was largely realized in the attainment of paradigmatic social roles: military service for men and childbearing for women. Among the subtopics are Greek medical ideas the roles of women and children marriage care of the elderly and the role of religious ideas. . Duckworth hardcover‎

Minor edgewear to DJ top corners. ; Hardly any aspect of Greek culture of its religious and philosophical bases proves as revealing as its way of confronting human mortality and its observances in relation to the dead. Using both historical and anthropological approaches and sources both visual and written Garland describes the extensive and elaborate funerary rituals performed by the Greeks for their dead from the time of Homer to the fourth century BC. The book attempts to revive and re-live the complex texture of feelings provoked in the living by the dead as moment by moment the two shifted their ground in relation to one another. Death for the Greeks was not an instantaneous event rather a process or passage which required strenuous efforts on the part of the living to ensure that the dead achieved full and final transfer to the next world. The central questions which this book attempts to answer are: the extent to which death was a preoccupying concern among the Greeks; the feelings with which the individual may have anticipated his death; the nature of the bonds between the living and the dead; and the light shed by burial practices upon characteristic elements of Greek society. While the beliefs of ordinary Greeks about their ordinary dead from the book's central focus there is also a chapter on "special dead" - the unburied murderers and their victims children and suicides. ; 192 pages .

The method of analysis is dense description assembled mostly from classical literary and philosophic sources and broken down into the general topics of conception and pregnancy, birth, childhood, coming of age, early adulthood, and elders and the elderly. What emerges is a conception of the human being as a social animal par excellence whose nature was largely realized in the attainment of paradigmatic social roles: military service for men and childbearing for women. Among the subtopics are Greek medical ideas, the roles of women and children, marriage, care of the elderly, and the role of religious ideas.‎

‎IDEAS OF SLAVERY FROM ARISTOTLE TO AUGUSTINE‎

‎Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0521574331 . Gift inscription on ffep: "To Alan from Peter Jan 1997". Crease to upper corner else book is fine. ; The W.B. Stanford Memorial Lectures; 288 pages; This study unique of its kind asks how slavery was viewed by the leading spokesmen of Greece and Rome. There was no movement for abolition in these societies or a vigorous debate such as occurred in antebellum America but this does not imply that slavery was accepted without question. This book draws on a wide range of sources pagan Jewish and Christian over ten centuries to challenge the common assumption of passive acquiescence in slavery and the associated view that Aristotle apart there was no systematic thought on slavery. The work contains both a typology of attitudes to slavery ranging from critiques to justifications and paired case studies of leading theorists of slavery Aristotle and the Stoics Philo and Paul Ambrose and Augustine.; Signed by Author .
