The Impact of Scripture in Early Christianity
ISBN: 9789004111431 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. One of the most conspicuous innovations of early Christianity within Greco-Roman culture is its reliance upon a collection of authoritative texts. The ultimate author of Scripture was thought to be God Himself, whose will could and should be sought and found in these holy writings. For this reason it is not surprising that very soon these texts not only became the object of careful attention and scholarly study, but also put their stamp on the various forms and manifestations of early Christian life, such as martyrdom, asceticism, liturgy, art, and literature. This multifarious influence of...

Early Christian Poetry: A Collection of Essays
ISBN: 9789004099395 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This collection of essays deals with the rise and development of early Christian poetry, discussing its techniques and its theoretical foundation. The individual papers concern specimina of Hebrew, Syriac, Greek and Latin poetry and study the various and partly conflicting traditions from which it originated. The biblical examples, e.g. of the Psalms, held great authority, but on the other hand it was impossible to break away from the models of classical Greco-Roman poetry, although these were deemed dangerous because of the pagan content and excessive cult of literary art. The book shows how...

Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXIX
ISBN: 9789004261532 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Book 29 opens with the judicial terror in Antioch following the discovery of a plot against the emperor in the East, Valens, who played an active role in hunting down and executing the culprits. The account of these internal troubles is balanced by two long chapters at the end of the book dealing with warfare in Africa and Central Europe. The general Theodosius mercilessly crushed the revolt of the Moorish prince Firmus, while the emperor in the West, Valentinian, had to deal with violent invasions of the Quadi and the Sarmatians. The two central chapters are devoted to different aspects of...

Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXX
ISBN: 9789004299955 / Łaciński / Twarda / 2015 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The first part of Book 30 of Ammianus Marcellinus' Res Gestae is devoted to the military and diplomatic struggle for Armenia between Valens, emperor of the East, and king Sapor II of Persia. The Romans successfully defend their position, until they are forced to deal with the Goths who threaten to cross the Danube border. The second half of Book 30 is dominated by Valentinian I, emperor of the West. Ammianus presents a kaleidoscopic picture of this emperor alternating between admiration for his military qualities and devotion to his duty and bitter criticism of his avarice and cruelty....

Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXVI
ISBN: 9789004163461 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Book 26 of Ammianus' Res Gestae is the first of the hexad which deals with the rule of the emperors Valentinian and Valens (364-378). In the first five chapters Ammianus describes the election of Valentinian, who appointed his brother Valens as his co-ruler, and subsequently divided the empire into an eastern and a western part. The next chapters deal with the revolt of Procopius. They offer the most detailed account of a coup d' etat in Roman historiography. The memory of Julian, whose death was the central theme of the preceding book, is still very much alive. None of the three...

Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXVIII
ISBN: 9789004215993 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Book 28 Ammianus describes the military activity of Valentinian on the Rhine. The historian speaks with admiration about his efforts to strengthen the northwestern border of the empire. He shows a similar esteem for the general Theodosius, who re-established order in Britain. However, in the greater part of Book 28 there is an air of gloom. Ammianus writes reluctantly about the judicial terror inflicted on the Roman aristocracy by powerful magistrates. In his digression about Roman manners he speaks with contempt about the senatorial elite and the Roman plebs, because they fail to live up...
