‎The Two Versions of Malory's Morte Darthur: Multiple Negation and the Editing of the Text‎

‎Cambridge: D. S. Brewer. As New in As New dust jacket. 1995. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0859914372 . "Malory's Morte Darthur survives in two versions: the Winchester manuscript which has been dated 1469-70 and the edition Caxton published in 1485. These versions were thought to be collaterally related through a common source to an original lost manuscript until in 1977 new evidence suggested a linear descent. Dr Tieken-Boon van Ostade's study supports this argument first through a detailed refutation of Vinaver's arguments for collateral descent then through an analysis of the incidence of multiple negation in both versions of the Morte Darthur and the conclusions to be drawn from it. A reconstruction of the events leading to Caxton's publication of the text at a politically hazardous time completes the volume.".

‎NY: Charles Scribner's Sons. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1975. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0684144026 . First Printing full number line. Publisher's full black cloth gilt lettering on spine. 8vo. xi i 282 pp. llustrated with 38 black & white photographs on 16 pages and four maps. Includes Notes; Bibliography; Genealogical Tables; Dates of the Twelve Caesars; Dates of Subsequent Emperors; and Index. "The personalities of the Twelve Caesars at Rome Julius Caesar and the first eleven Roman emperors who followed him have profoundly impressed themselves upon the world. In this classic example of the unique blend of scholarship and readability that has made him one of the most popular authors of ancient history Michael Grant penetrates the fog of rumor and speculation surrounding these dynamic leaders and explores the biographer Suetonius' claims about their sexual abnormalities and other aberrations." "The Twelve Caesars bore the perilous responsibility of governing an empire comparable in its magnitude to the United States today. It is a timeless concern of mankind to measure the power that such men and their advisors wield. For example are we justified after a study of Tacitus in applying to the Roman Caesars Lord Acton's saying that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" This is one of a number of questions relating to their exercise of authority that Michael Grant endeavors to answer in this timeless work. "Michael Grant one of the world's greatest writers on ancient history has been a Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge; Professor of Humanities at the University of Edinburgh; President and Vice-Chancellor of the Queen's University Belfast; Vice-Chancellor of the University of Khartoum; and President of the Classical Association and the Virgil Society.
