Binding tight and square pages clean bright and unmarked. 2008 Hard Cover. xviii 346 pp. During the war approximately 620000 soldiers lost their lives. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be six million. This Republic of Suffering explores the impact of this enormous death toll from every angle: material political intellectual and spiritual. The eminent historian Drew Gilpin Faust delineates the ways death changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation and its understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. She describes how survivors mourned and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the slaughter with its belief in a benevolent God pondered who should die and under what circumstances and reconceived its understanding of life after death.

Jacket edges rubbed with minor loss from corners toned tape repairs on reverse of jacket spine head and foot minor scuff on front board. 1935 Hard Cover. 255 pp. First mystery and one of only two using this pseudonym by Frederick Faust who also wrote under the pen name Max Brand. From the half-title page: "It is the tale of John Witherby physical superman in a contest of strength and racing smashing violence with a man called the Doctor and his gorillas for possession of John's inheritance and for the fancy of the Doctor's female decoy. Savage and brutal without let-down it casts a rare spell." From the jacket flap: "It is a favorable sign in a murder mystery if the author has refrained from the use of any secret underground passage and of any sly and slinking Orientals. That means a suspicion that the mystery has originality. And originality is the feature that first flashes at you out of the pages of Cross Over Nine. The Macaulay Company hardcover books

Blue cloth gilt publisher's device on front cover. Frontispiece portrait of Morton Smith. An ex-library copy with minimal rubber stamping on title & at bottom of text block and with the trace of a removed library pocket on rear pastedown. Josephus and the History of the Greco-Roman Period comprises a series of essays on the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and on the history of the Second Temple period by many of the best-known specialists in the field. The contributions are revised versions of papers delivered at an international colloquium in memory of Professor Morton Smith that was held at San Miniato Italy in November 1992. The essays cover a broad range of historical and historiographical issues concerning the Seleucid Hasmonean Herodian and Roman periods for which the importance of Josephus - often our only extant source - can hardly be overestimated. Josephus' trustworthiness as a historian is newly investigated from various angles. Fresh light is thrown on philological literary geographical archaeological sociological and religious questions. The book includes a critical evaluation of Morton Smith's scholarly achievement.

1554réf. 6336Venice: Plinio Pietrasanta 1554. First edition. Very Good. Quarto 22 cm; 45 3 pages last leaf blank. Title within woodcut architectural border. Historiated woodcut initials throughout. In half vellum over 17th- or 18th-century woodblock printed paste paper titled in manuscript on spine. Lower board ruptured near corner subsequently rebuilt. Some leaves toned brown. Early ownership inscriptions and later bibliographical notes on front free endpaper and on rear pastedown. References: Adams F-182; Olschki Choix de livres anciens VI 5817 This essay extolling marriage is an early artifact of modern ethnography in that it poses as a survey of marriage customs through history and around the world. In true humanist fashion Fausto mines the ancient historians for most of his material. So we find out that in Lacedaemonia or Atlantis men who refused to marry were forced to run naked through the forum in the dead of winter and that in Assyria husbands were bound by law to obey their wives. The text concludes with a long series of Q&A "quesiti" concerning marriage ceremonies in which we find out why the Boetians crowned brides with asparagus why Persian couples wait until spring to "consummate" any marriage and why it is customary to grease the newlyweds' doorway with pig fat or wolf fat. The book is also notable for its lovely large woodcut initials including a letter T showing a satyr and a man at table together a P with a bare-breasted woman driving a triumphal chariot and an N with a lion-headed man astride a swimming horse.
