Centres of Learning: Learning and Location in Pre-Modern Europe and the Near East
ISBN: 9789004101937 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Centres of Learning deals with the relation between learning and the locations in which that learning is carried out. It is the editors' belief that the character (and, in part, the content) of a particular aspect of learning is determined -- or at least influenced -- by the circumstances in which the learning process takes place. The contributions in this book deal with various aspects of learning, in a broad historical and geographical perspective, which ranges from Ancient Babylon, via classical Greece and Rome, and the Middle East (both Christian and Islamic), through to the Latin...

Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXVII
ISBN: 9789004180376 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Book 27 deals with events between 365 and 370. Military operations in the western and eastern half of the Empire take up a large part of the available space. Apart from military matters Ammianus deals with internal affairs. He discusses the terms of office of four Roman urban prefects and paints a picture of Petronius Probus, the mightiest civil official of the period. The most striking part of the book contains a portrait of the emperor Valentinian. This passage forms the centre of the book, which therefore has the structure of a triptych: of the two outer parts each contains military...

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...
