Lugduni, apud Paulum Mirallietum sub insigni divi Pauli, 1549 (in fine: Lugduni, excudebat Ioannes Pullon, alias de Trin, impensis honestis viri Pauli Mirallieti), in-8, legatura coeva in piena pergamena floscia (integra in ogni sua parte, ma parzialmente staccata dal corpo del volume), pp. [48], 426, [6], le carte [beta]8, D7 e D8 bianche. Con marca xilografica sul frontespizio e in fine. Si tratta dell'edizione ridotta dell'Hexabiblos, testo in sei libri dove Kostantin Harmenopulos (1320-1385) raccolse una vasta serie di fonti legali bizantine. La prima edizione a stampa (integrale) è di Parigi, 1540. Questa, seppur in epitome, dovrebbe essere la seconda edizione a stampa in assoluto. L'Hexabiblos fu usato largamente in tutti i Balcani, anche sotto l'Impero Ottomano, fino al XIX secolo: fu anche adottato come codice civile provvisorio, nel 1828, dal nuovo stato greco indipendente. Traccia di tarlo sul margine inferiore bianco (testo non toccato) delle prime 35 carte. Qualche brunitura sparsa. Asportata una firma di possesso al margine superiore della prima carta di guardia.

8vo, ril. ed- sovracop. 520pp. Intrecciando una solida narrazione storica con la scienza del clima e le scoperte della genetica, Kyle Harper evidenzia come il destino di Roma sia stato deciso non solo da imperatori, soldati e barbari, ma anche da eruzioni vulcaniche, cicli solari, instabilità climatica e virus e batteri devastanti. Il racconto prende le mosse dall'apogeo di Roma nel I secolo a.C., quando l'impero sembrava una superpotenza invincibile, fino alla sua completa disfatta nel VII d.C., quando Roma era ormai politicamente frammentata e impoverita. Harper descrive in che modo i Romani cercarono di resistere a un enorme stress ambientale, finché l'impero non fu più in grado di sopportare le sfide combinate di una piccola era glaciale e ricorrenti focolai di peste bubbonica. Riflessione sull'intima relazione dell'umanità con l'ambiente, "Il destino di Roma" offre al lettore una panoramica completa di come una delle più grandi civiltà della storia si sia arresa al peso cumulativo della violenza della natura.
8vo, 332pp. From the Iliad to Aristophanes, from the gospel of Matthew to Augustine, Greek and Latin texts are constellated with descriptive images of dreams. Some are formulaic, others intensely vivid. The best ancient minds?Plato, Aristotle, the physician Galen, and others?struggled to understand the meaning of dreams. With Dreams and Experience in Classical Antiquity the renowned ancient historian William Harris turns his attention to oneiric matters. This cultural history of dreams in antiquity draws on both contemporary post-Freudian science and careful critiques of the ancient texts. Harris traces the history of characteristic forms of dream-description and relates them both to the ancient experience of dreaming and to literary and religious imperatives. He analyzes the nuances of Greek and Roman belief in the truth-telling potential of dreams, and in a final chapter offers an assessment of ancient attempts to understand dreams naturalistically. How did dreaming culture evolve from Homer?s time to late antiquity? What did these dreams signify? And how do we read and understand ancient dreams through modern eyes? Harris takes an elusive subject and writes about it with rigor and precision, reminding us of specificities, contexts, and changing attitudes through history.

8vo, br. ed. 320pp.The history and literature of the Roman Empire is full of reports of dream prophecies, dream ghosts and dream gods. This volume offers a fresh approach to the study of ancient dreams by asking not what the ancients dreamed or how they experienced dreaming, but why the Romans considered dreams to be important and worthy of recording. Dream reports from historical and imaginative literature from the high point of the Roman Empire (the first two centuries Ad) are analysed as objects of cultural memory, records of events of cultural significance that contribute to the formation of a group's cultural identity. The book also introduces the term 'cultural imagination', as a tool for thinking about ancient myth and religion, and avoiding the question of 'belief', which arises mainly from creed-based religions. The book's conclusion compares dream reports in the Classical world with modern attitudes towards dreams and dreaming, identifying distinctive features of both the world of the Romans and our own culture.

Only a priceless Mycenaean death mask has been taken, along with the bones of a legendary hero thought to exist only in ancient myth. Looted by the Nazis, the treasures are still being sought by those whose dreams of glory remain undefeated. The mask is an unparalleled discovery that will be a force for devastating retribution in the wrong hands. But by the time museum curator Deborah Miller learns the truth, it may be too late not only to save herself--but to reveal to the world the awesome secret she's uncovered." Berkley Books Book
