Piatti foderati con carta marmorizzata coeva. Piccola e leggerissima macchiolina nelle prime cinque carte del vol. 1, ininfluente e nel complesso esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Bell’edizione stampata a Basilea, di questo classico studio, uscito per la prima volta nel 1786, del celebre storico, tutor e letterato scozzese, John Gillies, nato a Brechin , nel Forfarshire nel 1747. Alla morte di William Robertson (1721-1793) , Gillies fu nominato storiografo reale per la Scozia . Nella sua vecchiaia si ritirò a Clapham , dove morì il 15 febbraio 1836. L’opera qui presentata, dedicata al Re d’Inghilterra, ricostruisce attentamente la storia della Grecia antica e della conquista delle sue colonie ma con un occhio attento a mal far figurare la turbolenza ed instabilità della vita repubblicana. Esemplare in bella legatura e non comune in quest’edizione di Basilea corretta ed aumentata rispetto alle precedenti. Buon esemplare.

1991rif. 39016University of Toronto Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. Gift inscription from author to Carolyn Dewald on titlepage. Minor pencilling. Pages lightly tanned.; Phoenix Supplementary Volume XXIII; 336 pages; Herodotus was the first writer in the West to conceive the value of creating a record of the recent past. He found a way to co-ordinate the often conflicting data of history ethnology and culture. The Historical Method of Herodotus explores the intellectual habits and the literary principles of this pioneer writer of prose. Donald Lateiner argues against the perception that Herodotus' work seems amorphous and ill organized that the Histories contain their own definition of historical significance. He examines patterns of presentation and literary structure in narratives speeches and direct communications to the reader in short the conventions and rhetoric of history as Herodotus created it. This rhetoric includes the use of recurring themes the relation of speech to reported actions indications of doubt stylistic idiosyncrasies frequent reference to nonverbal behaviours and strategies of opening and ending. Lateiner shows how Herodotus sometimes suppresses information on principle and sometimes compels the reader to choose among contending versions of events. His inventories of Herodotus' methods allow the reader to focus on typical practice not misleading exception. In his analysis of the structuring concepts of the Histories Lateiner scrutinizes Herodotean time and chronology. He considers the historian's admiration for ethnic freedom and autonomy the rule of law and the positive values of conflict. Despite these apparent biases he argues the text's intellectual and moral preferences present a generally cool and detached account from which an authorial personality rarely emerges. The Historical Method of Herodotus illuminates the idiosyncrasies and ambitious nature of a major text in classics and the Western tradition and touches on aspects of historiography ancient history rhetoric and the history of ideas.; Signed by Author . 1991. 0802057934 .
