Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 69-95. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name underlined on cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: The ideas about history that were proclaimed in Augustines City of God did not arise in a vacuum. Augustine was reacting against other, already established views of history-views that differed from his own. To understand the full measure of Augustines own peculiar genius, and the full significance of what he was trying to say, we must know the viewpoints he was rejecting, two of them in particular. On the one hand there were the conservative, pessimistic theories of the classical Roman historian Sallust; on the other, was the liberal, rationalistic optimism of the church historian Eusebius and other such Eastern representatives of the Constan-tinian settlement and the Hellenistic view of man. The issue at stake was the basic shape of history. Did it run downhill or uphill? Had Rome sunk into a decline and fall from some past era of virtue and inner strength, as Sallust claimed? Or had the history of the preceding millennium or more been a line of almost unbroken progress in civilization and morality, as Eusebius and others of that opinion claimed?

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 1-6. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name underlined on cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: The concept of Fortune (Tyche) had Iain at the very center of traditional pagan thought about history. Herodotus thought that the gods intervened in history to control the course of mens fortunes. His successor Thucydides completely rejected any notion of divine intervention in history, but nevertheless used the word tyche twenty-eight times in his speeches, and eleven times in his narrative sections. He did not imply anything which we today would call supernatural by his use of the word, simply unforeseen chance occurrences which disrupted human plans. Polybius use of the concept of Fortune was particularly notorious, and a vast literature exists on the question of what this historian in fact meant by the term, and whether he thought of Fortune in different ways at different stages in his own intellectual development.

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 165-182. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Cover with light margins and one paper tear, detached from block, author's name handwritten on cover, paper tanned, first page dog-eared, otherwise clean. - From the text: In working out his own understanding of historical causation, Eusebius had to deal with the great issues of the pagan Graeco-Roman historiographical tradition.
