ISBN: 9780199259229 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Oxford Handbook of Roman Epigraphy
ISBN: 9780195336467 / Angielski / Twarda / 928 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Epigraphy, or the study of inscriptions, is critical for anyone seeking to understand the Roman world, whether they regard themselves as literary scholars, historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, religious scholars or work in a field that touches on the Roman world from c. 500 BCE to 500 CE and beyond. The Oxford Handbook of Roman Epigraphy is the fullest collection of scholarship on the study and history of Latin epigraphy produced to date. Rather that just a collection of inscriptions, however, this volume seeks to show why inscriptions matter and demonstrate to classicists...

Supplementum Grammaticum Graecum 8: Didymus Alexandrinus. The Fragments of the Commentaries on Comedy
ISBN: 9789004684577 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Didymus of Alexandria (also known as Chalcenterus, ‘bronze-guts’, for his outstanding ability to ‘digest’ and rework the scholarship of his predecessors) played a pivotal role in the understanding and reception of many classical Greek authors, both in antiquity and in modern times. His commentaries on the comic playwrights influenced ancient and modern scholarship alike and constitute to this day an invaluable repository of information for the study of ancient Greek comedy, the history of Hellenistic philology, and more. This is the first critical edition (with English translation and...

A Commentary on Martial, Epigrams Book 9
ISBN: 9780199606313 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this volume, Henriksen offers the first extensive commentary on Book 9 of the Epigrams of M. Valerius Martialis (ca. AD 40-104), who published fifteen books of Epigrams during the last two decades of the 1st century AD. Firmly established in a literary tradition that had begun in Greece more than half a millennium earlier, Martial's work represents the height of the development of ancient epigram. Conscious of his own times and society, Martial often engages current genres and his great Roman predecessors, such as Catullus, Vergil, and Ovid, in an intertextual dialogue.
First published... In this volume, Henriksen offers the first extensive commentary on Book 9 of the Epigrams of M. Valerius Martialis (ca. AD 40-104), who published fift...

Gospel Fragments
ISBN: 9780199208159 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As the value and importance of the non-canonical Jesus tradition continues to be recognized, there is an ever-increasing need for scholarly introductions to this tradition. This co-edited edition comprises the Greek critical editions, with full translations, of several key gospel fragments including P.Egerton 2, P. Oxy. 840, and P.Oxy. 1224. These fragments, preserved despite the widespread destruction of non-canonical manuscripts, are invaluable primary witnesses of ancient Christianity and the transmission of early Christian texts. Introductions to the fragments discuss dates, origins,...

Callimachus Hecale
ISBN: 9780199562466 / Angielski / Twarda / 450 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Adrian Hollis's second edition of Callimachus' Hecale includes an English translation of the original Greek text. Twenty years after the first edition appeared in 1990, close study of the Byzantine poets, scholars, and clerics who knew Callimachus' poem intimately has allowed significant progress in our understanding of the poem. Equally valuable are two Byzantine lexicons which clearly had access to an ancient commentary on the Hecale; an Attic vase, which provides our first artistic representation of the myth; and an inscribed Greek elegy from Kandahar, which suggests that Callimachus'...

This is the first commentary in English devoted exclusively to the surviving epigrams and fragments of Asclepiades of Samos, a Hellenistic poet who exerted great influence on the work of his contemporaries and helped shape the genre of literary epigram for many generations. The volume contains an extensive introduction, a new critical text and translation, and a full literary and philological commentary. Alexander Sens's main focus is on the way in which Asclepiades engages with the Greek literary tradition, but attention is also paid to his influence on later writers.

Euripides Alcestis
ISBN: 9780199254668 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Alcestis is one of Euripides' richest and most brilliant--as well as most controversial--plays. But, apart from D. J. Conacher's student text, no annotated edition in English has appeared for more than fifty years. The present work is designed to aid close reading and to serve as an introduction to the serious study of the play in its various aspects. The introduction covers the background to the story in myth and folktale, its treatment by other writers from antiquity to the present, the critical reception of Euripides' play, and its textual transmission and meters. The notes are designed in...

Oxford Readings in Propertius
ISBN: 9780199563036 / Angielski / Twarda / 522 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume focuses on the great Roman love poet Propertius. Propertius' poetry reveals an ardent love affair between the poet and his girlfriend, whom he calls 'Cynthia', yet it also offers a snapshot of life in ancient Rome during the Augustan age (20s BC). While this was a period of growth and revival after the crippling civil wars of the previous century, it was also a time when Rome was adjusting to a new form of government under its first emperor.

A Commentary on the Rhesus Attributed to Euripides
ISBN: 9780199591688 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rhesus, a tragedy traditionally (but wrongly) attributed to Euripides, has been the object of too little scholarly attention over the last decades. While debate has focused largely on the question of the play's authenticity, consequently overlooking the features of the play itself, this important new commentary explores the essential elements such as language, style, character-portrayal, and metre. The play's stagecraft and plot-construction are scrutinized and shown to be generally idiosyncratic and often defective despite occasional flashes of genius in the handling of dramatic time and...
