Offprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 1-20. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a good and clean copy. - From the text: No theoretical exposition on the nature of ancient rhetoric could illustrate the connection between judicial oratory and theater better than does this vivid description. The scene makes us think of the opening-night performance of a great actor in a long-awaited play. The attendants go about busily assigning places, the audience pours in, sitting on wooden benches or standing about the periphery. The performer appears and a hush falls over the crowd, soon followed by cheers and applause. He begins to speak, and even one who cannot hear his words can see from the response of the crowd that he has captivated them. The equation of Cicero's perfect orator to the great Roman actor Roscius makes explicit the sense that pervades the passage: the tribunal is a stage and the orator an actor.

Offprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp.275-290. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - From the text: I would like to begin this discussion of Livys first pentad with an unfashionable foray into authorial intention. Let us say that Livy embarked on his vast history of the Roman people shortly after the battle of Actium in 31 B.C., an event that in retrospect can be seen to signal the end to almost a century of civil wars, but that, at the time, might have seemed but a pause in the long succession of bloody internal struggles that had gripped the body politic since the Gracchi.1 The first question facing the historian was where to begin. Few would have faulted him if his history had excluded the legends and myths connected with the founding of Rome and had begun with the institution of the Republic or (like that of Claudius Quadrigarius) with the period following the sack of Rome by the Gauls, when traditions and records were somewhat more trustworthy.2 Attempting to write history with any pretense of accuracy, even starting from the latter event, would have been a daunting task, and Livy knew that the greatest of the Greek historians, Herodotus and Thucydides, had by and large confined themselves to the more recent past, where their own autopsy or that of their informants could serve as the basis for arguing the truth of their accounts.

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 203-226. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: The reader of Livys first pentad soon becomes aware that people with similar names tend to behave in similar ways. Members of the Valerian gens, for example, are frequently pictured as heroic soldiers and energetic supporters of popular rights: Publius Valerius is associated with Brutus and Collatinus in the overthrow of the Tarquins and wins the cognomen Publicola for championing the rights of the people; Manius Valerius, elected dictator in the midst of internal strife and external threat, fights a signally successful military campaign and thereafter delivers a stirring plea to the Senate on behalf of plebeian rights; L. Valerius Potitus, like his ancestor Publius, plays an important role in the recovery of libertas and the establishment of the rights of the plebeians. The Servilii also display a similarity of character and action within the first pentad: Publius Servilius is the author of a compromise that averts disaster during plebeian agitation for reform of the laws concerning debt, and other Servilii likewise appear at critical junctures to resolve internal faction and restore concordia in the state.

Zustand: Gut. 209 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A very good and clean copy. - This volume explores the political implications of the first five books of Livys celebrated history of Rome, challenging the common perception of the author as an apolitical moralist. Ann Vasaly argues that Livy intended to convey through the narration of particular events crucial lessons about the interaction of power and personality, including the personality of the Roman people as a whole. These lessons demonstrate the means by which the Roman republic flourished in the distant past and by which it might be revived in Livys own corrupt time. Written at the precise moment when Augustus imperial autocracy was about to replace the republican system that had existed in Rome for almost 500 years, the stories of the first pentad offer invaluable insight into how republics and monarchies work. Vasalys innovative study furthers the integration in recent scholarship of the literary brilliance of Livys text and the seriousness of its purpose.

Zustand: Gut. 301 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Dedication by the author to Prof. Haase and his wife. - Dust jacket a bit rubbed, else good and clean. - Ancient oratory demanded much of the speaker. Trained to anticipate various exigencies, the ancient orator responded immediately to circumstances: the reaction of his audience, the attacks of opponents, or the specific ambiance that prevailed at the time of his performance. Cicero, for example, delivered speeches that exhibited the formal structure and polish of sophisticated literary productions, yet his oratory also reflected the spontaneity and immediacy of extemporaneous creation. Previous studies of Ciceros speeches considered them as static entities, interesting chiefly for their fidelity or lack of fidelity to the prescriptions of ancient rhetorical theory. Recently scholars have explored the speeches as documents of progressive persuasion, but these studies consider the speeches as written texts rather than as reflections of original performances. In Representations: Images of the World in Ciceronian Oratory, Ann Vasaly introduces representation theory into the study of Ciceronian persuasion. Vasaly views Latin literature as an expression of a particular time and place, and contends that an understanding of milieu social, political, topographical is crucial to understanding Ciceronian oratory. As a genre of literature uniquely dependent on an immediate interaction within a setting of author and audience, ancient oratory becomes performance art. Vasaly investigates the way Cicero represented the contemporary physical world places, topography, and monuments, both those seen and those merely alluded to or described to his listeners and demonstrates how Cicero used these representations to persuade. In her analysis of the role of ambiance in Ciceros rhetorical strategy, Vasaly recaptures the immediacy of his oratory and arrives at an understanding of a semiotics of space in Ciceronian culture. Exceptionally well written and accessible to a broad audience, this book offers an original perspective on the study of ancient rhetoric and makes a trenchant contribution to an important new area of inquiry in Classical Studies. - ANN VASALY is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at Boston University.
