THE RHETORIC OF POWER IN LATE ANTIQUITY Religion and Politics in Byzantium, Europe and the Early Islamic World
A couple of tiny dots to textblock (as published? ). Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear. ; Library of Classical Studies; 320 pages; Late Antiquity, the period of transition from the crisis of Roman Empire in the third century to the Middle Ages, has traditionally been considered only in terms of the "decline" from classical standards. Recent classical scholarship strives to consider this period on its own terms. Taking the reign of Constantine the Great as its starting point, this book examines the unique intersection of rhetoric, religion and politics in Late Antiquity. Expert scholars come together to examine ancient rhetorical texts to explore the ways in which late antique authors drew upon classical traditions, presenting Roman and post-Roman religious and political institutions in order to establish a desired image of a "new era." This book provides new insights into how the post-Roman Germanic West, Byzantine East and Muslim South appropriated and transformed the political, intellectual and cultural legacy inherited from the late Roman Empire and its borderlands.

Frazer, Sir James G. & Theodor H. Gaster
THE NEW GOLDEN BOUGH A New Abridgement of the Classic Work by Sir James George Frazer. Edited, and with Notes and Foreword
Wraps are a bit browned. Scholar's name to ffep (de Montmollin). Institution stamp to ffep (Dept. Of Classics- University of Toronto). Light edgewear to wraps. Lower corner of first few pages creased. ; 738 pages; The Golden Bough describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions. Revealed here is the evolution of man from savagery to civilization, from the modification of his weird and often bloodthirsty customs to the entry of lasting moral, ethical, and spiritual values.

THE REVIVAL OF THE OLYMPIAN GODS IN RENAISSANCE ART
Light edgewear along top edge of DJ. Very faint shelfwear to book else fine. ; This book deals specifically with sixteenth-century depictions of the Olympian deities, the twelve supreme deities of ancient Greece and Rome. As the Renaissance revived several aspects of antiquity, some great works of art represented the Olympians in imitation of the classical style. These deities were rendered as autonomous figures, in the form of representation adapted for depicting saints and Christian rulers. This form of depicting the Olympians, or the pagan gods, was not unanimously accepted by sixteenth-century viewers. The book highlights the problematic framework surrounding the creation, display and acceptance of such thought-provoking works of art. ; 9.7 X 7.2 X 1.0 inches; 318 pages

RABBINISME ET PAGANISME EN PALESTINE ROMAINE Étude Historique Des Realia Talmudiques (Ier-IVème Siècles)
New in plastic wrapping; Religions in the Graeco-Roman World, 157; 9 x 2.5 x 5 Inches; 447 pages; This study deals essentially with the knowledge of the Palestinian Rabbis concerning paganism in the days of Mishna and Talmud. The Late Professor Saul Lieberman wrote that "Many isolated items on idolatry and idol worshippers are scattered all over rabbinic literature. It would require a large volume to treat this topic". This valuable and exhaustive study proves methodically that the Rabbis had deeper knowledge about Syrian, Arabian, Anatolian and Graeco-Roman Pagan cults than is commonly believed. Clear, accessible and displaying considerable scholarship this work will undoubtedly provide an important challenge to both historians, archaeologists, and scholars of Rabbinic texts. Cette étude traite essentiellement du niveau de connaissances des Rabbins de Judée et de Galilée concernant les cultes païens dans le sens le plus large du terme. Le Professeur Saul Lieberman affirmait : "Many isolated items on idolatry and idol worshippers are scattered all over rabbinic literature. It would require a large volume to treat this topic" Ce travail exhaustif, à travers l’ensemble du corpus talmudique et au regard de la réalité historique propre à la Palestine romaine, montre méthodiquement que les connaissances des Sages, tant sur les divinités du paganisme que sur des rites syriens, arabes, anatoliens voire gréco-romains, étaient bien plus vastes et approfondies, que ce qu’il est communément admis aujourd’hui par la recherche historique. De part sa clareté et son accessibilité, ce livre intéressera aussi bien les historiens du peuple juif, que ceux des religions antiques. Les archéologues, les historiens du Levant à l’époque romaine, ainsi que les spécialistes de la littérature talmudique y trouveront également un vif intérêt en vertu de son aspect extrêmement novateur.

LIBRI ANNALES PONTIFICUM MAXIMORUM The Origins of the Annalistic Tradition
A couple of small tears to bottom corners of DJ else Fine. ; The Papers and Monographs of the American Academy in Rome; 368 pages; Recent years have seen a welcome growth of interest in the history of early Rome. Libri Annales Pontificum Maximorum: the Origins of the Annalistic Tradition contributes important information on this period by focusing on the earliest stages of Roman historical writing. The book is once again available, with a new Introduction by the author that brings the work up to date and helps place it in its current context. This book remains the starting point for study of the pre-annalistic tradition of Roman history. When first published, the volume sparked a lively debate among classicists and historians of the ancient world. Previous scholarship had often assigned the pontifical chronicle a central role not only in preserving the history of the early Republic, but also in shaping the form of the annalistic tradition. But the author showed that these assumptions rested on insecure foundations; to a large extent, they misrepresented the historiographic development of the annalistic tradition as we know it from, above all, Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Perhaps the book's most controversial contention was that the final eighty-book edition of the chronicle, which previous scholars had dated to the later second century BCE, is more probably a massive reworking of materials in the Augustan period. This finding will likely require a considerable revision in our understanding of the development of the annalistic tradition. In the course of making these innovative arguments, the author offers extensive information about the origins of the annalistic tradition and about the early history and historiography of Rome. Bruce W. Frier is Professor of Classics and Roman Law, and Henry King Ransom Professor of Law, University of Michigan. He has published numerous books and articles on classical and legal topics, and has won the Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit from the American Philological Association.

GREEK FEDERAL STATES AND THEIR SANCTUARIES Identity and Integration
In ancient Greece, religion and politics were inextricably linked. This symbiosis manifests itself particularly clearly in Greek sanctuaries as locations of both cult practices and political activities. A colloquium held at Munster aimed at analysing the formative function of trans-regional sanctuaries in mainland Greece and on the Greek islands in the genesis and legitimisation of political order in Greek tribal alliances and federal states from the Archaic down to the Hellenistic period. Religion und Politik waren im antiken Griechenland auf das Engste miteinander verwoben. Besonders deutlich manifestiert sich diese Symbiose in griechischen Heiligtumern als Orten kultischer Handlungen und zugleich politischen Agierens. Das Munsteraner Kolloquium analysiert die formative Funktion uberregionaler Heiligtumer in Griechenland und der griechischen Inselwelt bei der Genese und Legitimation von politischer Ordnung in griechischen Stammesbunden und Bundesstaaten von der archaischen bis in die hellenistische Zeit. ; 244 pages

INTRODUCING NEW GODS The Politics of Athenian Religion
Faint foxing to textblock. Boards a bit rubbed. 1 corner lightly bumped. ; The religious imagination of the Greeks, Robert Garland observes, was populated by divine beings whose goodwill could not be counted upon, and worshipers faced a heavy burden of choice among innumerable deities to whom they might offer their devotion. These deities—and Athenian polytheism itself—remained in constant flux as cults successively came into favor and waned. Examining the means through which the Athenians established and marketed cults, this handsomely illustrated book is the first to illuminate the full range of motives—political and economic, as well as spiritual—that prompted them to introduce new gods. ; 234 pages

ALBA LONGA, HISTOIRE D'UNE LÉGENDE Recherches Sur L'Archéologie, La Religion, Les Traditions De L'Ancien Latium
2 volume set. Light bumping to extremities else Fine. ; Alba Longa et sa légende demeurent pour la science une énigme : alors qu’elle explore les origines de Rome avec une intensité sans précédent, elle ne sait que penser de cette ville introuvable, de ce lac débordant, de ces forêts ombreuses, de ces rois fantômes. Quel rôle jouèrent les monts Albains dans la culture latiale ? A-t-on eu raison, depuis plus de cinq siècles, de chercher inlassablement Albe, cette cité d’où seraient venus les jumeaux fondateurs de Rome ? Quelles furent les relations entre ce territoire albain et Rome, entre la Ligue latine et la Ville ? Géographie historique et culturelle, sciences de la terre, archéologie, histoire des religions, philologie : le recours à un très large éventail de disciplines aboutit ici à une synthèse, d’où le souci de la réflexivité épistémologique n’est jamais absent. Pour comprendre le légendaire albain, il fallait le replacer dans son cadre. Les anciennes fouilles du XIXe siècle sont donc restituées dans leur contexte. Au-delà de ce qui a été conservé, émerge un continent perdu de la connaissance : des paysages disparus, des sites oubliés, des textes négligés, des rites méconnus et, avec eux, toute la richesse d’une véritable civilisation : en retour on comprendra mieux l’apport des plus récentes découvertes dans ce Latium préromain dont le massif Albain constituait précisément le centre. C’est là, sur le mons Albanus, moderne Monte Cavo, que les Anciens plaçaient Alba Longa et ses rois ; c’est là aussi qu’ avait lieu une grandiose cérémonie religieuse, les Féries Latines, délaissées pourtant par la recherche moderne qui n’a su où situer les mystérieux sacra Albana. Des inventaires précis, des dossiers rassemblant les textes antiques concernés, donnés à chaque fois avec leur traduction, permettent de redonner à ces thèmes toute leur importance, et font de ce livre un exceptionnel outil de travail : la première synthèse française sur cet ancien Latium, naguère dit primitif, objet, depuis trois décennies, d’un grand mouvement international de recherche. Mémoire ou histoire ? À cette interrogation, aujourd’hui omniprésente, ce livre apporte une réponse qui constitue une contribution novatrice au débat actuel sur les origines de Rome. ; 2 Volume Set COMPLETE.

ROMAN RELIGION AND THE CULT OF DIANA AT ARICIA
Gift inscription from author to R. E. Fantham on ffep. Top corners lightly bumped. Minor shelfwear to book. Scuffing and light scratches to DJ. Damp-staining and rippling to lower edges of DJ. Light edgewear to DJ. ; 348 pages; The sanctuary dedicated to Diana at Aricia flourished from the Bronze age to the second century CE. From its archaic beginnings in the wooded crater beside the lake known as the 'mirror of Dianea' it grew into a grand Hellenistic-style complex that attracted crowds of pilgrims and the sick. Diana was also believed to confer power on leaders. This 2007 book examines the history of Diana's cult and healing sanctuary, which remained a significant and wealthy religious center for more than a thousand years. It sheds light on Diana herself, on the use of rational as well as ritual healing in the sanctuary, on the subtle distinctions between Latin religious sensibility and the more austere Roman practice, and on the interpenetration of cult and politics in Latin and Roman history.; Signed by Author
