2004Minor crease near base of spine. Scholar's name to titlepage (Jenifer Neils). ; Hisarlik is a small place, a sandy stone strewn hillock cut up into gullies and hummocks. Yet its historical significance is immense, for this is the site of Troy - the legendary city whose story sprawls across cultures, time and geography. The tale of the siege of Troy is the greatest secular story ever told, and has captured the imagination of the Western World for some 3,000 years. Although there are many difficulties in using Greek myths, oral traditions and the Homeric epics to reconstruct the Trojan War, this title uses the latest archaeological evidence to reconstruct in detail the fortifications of Troy as well as making more general observations about the possible historical events behind the epics of Homer. ; Fortress, 17; 9.5 X 6.9 X 0.2 inches; 64 pages

2007Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; As Greek and Trojan forces battled in the shadow of Troy's wall, Hephaistos created a wondrous, ornately decorated shield for Achilles. At the Shield's center lay two walled cities, one at war and one at peace, surrounded by fields and pasturelands. Viewed as Homer's blueprint for an ideal, or utopian, social order, the Shield reveals that restraining and taming Nature would be fundamental to the Hellenic urban quest. It is this ideal that Classical Athens, with her utilitarian view of Nature, exemplified. In a city lacking pleasure gardens, it was particularly worthy of note when Epicurus created his garden oasis within the dense urban fabric. The disastrous results of extreme anthropocentrism would promote an essentially nostalgic desire to break down artificial barriers between humanity and Nature. This new ideal, vividly expressed through the domestication of Nature in villas and gardens and also through primitivist and Epicurean tendencies in Latin literature, informed the urban endeavors of Rome. ; Hellenic Studies 21; 8.9 X 5.4 X 0.5 inches; 220 pages

1520Incisione a bulino mm 417x290. Bella impressione nel I stato di III, avanti gli indirizzi degli stampatori Salamanca e De Rossi. Dell'incisione, tratta da un disegno di Raffaello conservato a Chatsworth, esiste una replica fedele di Marco Dente da Ravenna (TIB 26/14, 210). Ottima impressione stampata con inchiostrazione brillante e ben contrastata, sebbene lievemente rifilata: la linea di riquadro si intravede in qualche punto. Scena grandiosa e complessa. La fama di Marcantonio (S.Andrea in Argène 1480 - Bologna prima del 1534) fu all'epoca tale che viene così chiamato più spesso che con il cognome. Formatosi nell'ambiente umanistico bolognese, si perfezionò dal niello all'incisione a Venezia (1506), dove tra l'altro traspose a bulino le xilografie della Vita della Vergine di Dürer, e due anni dopo a Firenze, indi a Roma dal 1510, dove fu introdotto nell'ambiente antiquario. Dopo l'incontro con Raffaello, incise e diffuse insieme ai suoi allievi un gran numero di suoi disegni e affreschi (Lucrezia, la Strage degli Innocenti, il Morbetto, il Giudizio di Paride, il "Quos ego" tra le altre), raggiungendo col tratto nuove possibilità di tono e chiaroscuro. Le sue composizioni autonome armonizzano elementi tratti da varî artisti e presentano spesso elementi fantastici, come l'Incendio sul lago, noto come Sogno di Raffaello, e "Lo Stregozzo", che porta la sigla di uno dei suoi allievi, Agostino Veneziano. Incise anche da Giulio Romano (fu coinvolto in uno scandalo di stampe licenziose tratte da suoi disegni) e da B. Bandinelli..
