ISBN: 9781107012561 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The circulation of books was the motor of classical civilization. But books were both expensive and rare, and so libraries private and public, royal and civic played key roles in articulating intellectual life. This collection, written by an international team of scholars, presents a fundamental reassessment of how ancient libraries came into being, how they were organized and how they were used. Drawing on papyrology and archaeology, and on accounts written by those who read and wrote in them, it presents new research on reading cultures, on book collecting and on the origins of monumental...

ISBN: 9780521859691 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

The challenges, however, were not just political, economic and military: Rome was also the hub of a vast information network, drawing in worldwide expertise and refashioning it for its own purposes. This fascinating collection of essays considers the dialogue between technical literature and imperial society, drawing on, developing and critiquing a range of modern cultural theories (including those of Michel Foucault and Edward Said). How was knowledge shaped into textual forms,...
