Scholia vetera in Sophoclis "Electram"
ISBN: 9783110227000 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This authoritative new edition of the ancient scholia to Sophocles' Electra is designed to replace the corresponding part of the Teubner text published in 1888. It is the first to rely on a complete scrutiny of the sources of the text and the conjectural activity of scholars, but is also characterised by a fresh methodological approach: the transmission of scholia is prone to creating different versions of basically the same material, and to making conflations of originally distinct entities; in the English preface these transmissional peculiarities guide the editor in...

Judicial Reform and Land Reform in the Roman Republic: A New Edition, with Translation and Commentary, of the Laws from Urbino
ISBN: 9780521130882 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Twelve fragments of bronze were found near Urbino in the late fifteenth century, engraved with Roman laws - on one side a law concerning extortion, on the other an agrarian law. Dating as they do from the time of the Gracchi and of Marius in the later years of the Roman Republic, the laws are of considerable interest to Roman historians and are important evidence for the understanding of the revolutionary period that led to the overthrow of the Republic. In this volume, Dr Lintott offers a complete re-edition of these complicated and fragmentary texts, including a revision of the relationship...

Debating the Athenian Cultural Revolution: Art, Literature, Philosophy, and Politics 430-380 BC
ISBN: 9780521130585 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whatever aspect of Athenian culture one examines, whether it be tragedy and comedy, philosophy, vase painting and sculpture, oratory and rhetoric, law and politics, or social and economic life, the picture looks very different after 400 BC from before 400 BC. Scholars who have previously addressed this question have concentrated on particular areas and come up with explanations, often connected with the psychological effect of the Peloponnesian War, which are very unconvincing as explanations for the whole range of change. This book attempts to look at a wide range of evidence for cultural...

The A to Z of Ancient Israel
ISBN: 9780810875654 / Angielski / Miękka / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Of the many ancient civilizations we are aware of, few are smaller than the ancient Kingdom of Israel. Small both in geographical area and population, it was barely noticed by the major civilizations of the time in Egypt, Mesopotamia and elsewhere, which either ignored or crushed it. Yet, several millennia later, Israel is the civilization we remember most acutely, which we know--or think we know--the most about, and which has even been revised after a manner. Alas, what we know--or think we know--about Israel comes partly from the Old Testament and partly from fragmentary and sometimes...

The Lost Civilization of Homo Supersapiens: Evolution did not end with us
ISBN: 9781419661235 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The "gods" of antiquity weren't supernatural or imaginary beings, but Hominidae belonging to a further evolved species. In this book, they are named "Homo Supersapiens." Homo Supersapiens was taller than us, lovelier, and had certain distinguishing physical characteristics. He lived in an era when enormous, untouched supplies of gold were available, and he made use of it to such an extent that the first part of his era was known as "the Golden Age" ever since. In the Golden Age, Homo Supersapiens, setting out from his homeland, founded a great empire and ruled over us. Peace, justice and...

Reading and Writing in Babylon
ISBN: 9780674049680 / Angielski / Twarda / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over 5,000 years ago, the history of humanity radically changed direction when writing was invented in Sumer, the southern part of present-day Iraq. For the next three millennia, kings, aristocrats, and slaves all made intensive use of cuneiform script to document everything from royal archives to family records. In engaging style, Dominique Charpin shows how hundreds of thousands of clay tablets testify to the history of an ancient society that communicated broadly through letters to gods, insightful commentary, and sales receipts. He includes a number of passages, offered in...

Karia and the Hekatomnids: The creation of a dynasty
ISBN: 9781407304236 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
