THE BRONZE TABLES OF IGUVIUM
Minor shelfwear. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). ; The Iguvine Tables were a series of seven bronze tablets discovered at Iguvium, contemporary Gubbio, in Italy in the year 1444. The earliest tablets were probably written in the 3rd century BC in the native Umbrian alphabet, the latest in the 1st century BC in the Latin alphabet. The tablets contain religious inscriptions that memorialize the acts and rites of the Atiedian Brethren, a group of 12 priests of Jupiter with important municipal functions at Iguvium. They are written in the Umbrian language, one of the Italic languages, a not-too-distant relative of Latin. They shed light on the grammar of this ancient dead language, and also on the religious practices of classical paganism. They appear to be written in an accentual metre, similar to the Saturnian metre that is encountered in the earliest Latin poetry. Includes Grammar, text, translation and extensive commentary. ; Philological Monographs, Number XVII; 333 pages

ISTHMIA VOLUME IX: THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE GRAVES AND HUMAN REMAINS
Very tiny stain to ffep. Very light shelfwear else fine. ; This study describes and interprets the graves and human remains of Roman and Byzantine date recovered by excavation between 1954 and 1976 in several locales around the Isthmian Sanctuary and the succeeding fortifications. This material provides important evidence for both death and life in the Greek countryside during the Late Roman to Early Byzantine periods. Examination of burial within the local settlement, comparative study of mortuary behavior, and analysis of skeletal morphology, ancient demography, oral health and paleopathology all contribute to a picture of the rural Corinthians over this transitional era as interactive, resilient and modestly innovative. ; Isthmia IX; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 512 pages

RETHINKING THE MEDITERRANEAN
Light soiling. Small stamp to base of textblock ("OUP") ; In this collection of essays, an international group of renowned scholars attempt to establish the theoretical basis for studying the ancient and medieval history of the Mediterranean Sea and the lands around it. In so doing they range far afield to other Mediterraneans, real and imaginary, as distant as Brazil and Japan. Their work is an essential tool for understanding the Mediterranean, pre-modern and modern alike. It speaks to ancient and medieval historians, to archaeologists, anthropologists and all historians with environmental interests, and not least to classicists. ; 436 pages

ANCIENT ANATOLIA Aspects of Change and Cultural Development. Essays in Honor of Machteld J. Mellink
Xvii, 120pp, nicely illustrated. Machteld Mellink's colleagues have produced an appreciation of her interests and scholarly contributions.

America's most distinguished archaeologist of Asia Minor is honored with essays on incipient agriculture (L. S. And R. J. Braidwood's critical survey of current attitudes) ; the physical health of Early Bronze Age populations (J. L. Angel and S. C. Bisel) ; imports found at late third millennium BCE K; ultepe (T. ; Ozg; u; ) ; three articles on seal iconography of various periods (N. ; Ozg; u; , E. Porada, E. Uzunoglu with A. M. And B. Din; ol) ; the child in Hittite iconography (J. V. Canby) ; the Grinnell College (Iowa) Anatolian collection (H. G. Guterbock) ; the literary topos ``prosperity,' ' expressed as ``royal statements of ideal prices'' (J. D. Hawkins) ; Kizildag rock reliefs and other remains (K. Bittel) ; polydactyly and sirens (R. D. Barnett). Several articles may be beyond the grasp of advanced undergraduates, but the descriptive passages of other essays can be easily followed because illustrations are set in the text.

THE KNOSSOS LABYRINTH A New View of the `Palace of Minos' At Knossos
Foxing to top of textblock. Minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Knossos, like the Acropolis or Stonehenge, is a symbol for an entire culture. The Knossos Labyrinth was first built in the reign of a Middle Kingdom Egyptian pharaoh, and was from the start the focus of a glittering and exotic culture. Homer left elusive clues about the Knossian court and when the lost site of Knossos gradually re-emerged from obscurity in the nineteenth century, the first excavators - Minos Kalokairinos, Heinrich Schliemann, and Arthur Evans - were predisposed to see the site through the eyes of the classical authors. Rodney Castleden argues that this line of thought was a false trail and gives an alternative insight into the labyrinth which is every bit as exciting as the traditional explanations, and one which he believes is much closer to the truth. Rejecting Evans' view of Knossos as a bronze age royal palace, Castleden puts forward alternative interpretations - that the building was a necropolis or a temple - and argues that the temple interpretation is the most satisfactory in the light of modern archaeological knowledge about Minoan Crete. ; 9.3 X 6.4 X 0.8 inches; 230 pages
