Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). Light creasing to a couple of corners.; In this book, third in a series which includes Jacques Le Goff's Medieval Characters and Eugenio Garin's Renaissance Portraits, leading scholars search for the character of the ancient Romans through portraits of Rome's most typical personages. Essays on the politician, the soldier, the priest, the farmer, the slave, the merchant, and others together create a fresco of Roman society as it spanned 1300 years. Synthesizing a wealth of current research, The Romans surveys the most complex society ever to exist prior to the Industrial Age. Searching out the identity of the ancient Roman, the contributors describe an urbane figure at odds with his rustic peers, known for his warlike nature and his love of virtue, his magnanimity to foreigners and his predilection for cutting off his enemies' heads. Most important, perhaps, of the themes explored throughout this volume are those of freedom and slavery, of citizenship and humanitas. What results from the depictions Roman society through time and across its many constituent cultures is the variety of Roman identity in all its richness and depth. These masterful essays will engage the general reader as well as the specialist in history and culture.; 404 pages.…

Clerics and municipal officials not only tolerated prostitution, but were often its principal beneficiaries, owning and frequenting brothels quite openly. The explanation of this remarkable state of affairs is one topic covered in this book, which reconstructs a part of medieval society that has previously received relatively little attention. Drawing upon research in medieval archives, the author shows that most 15th-century Frenchwomen could expect a life of constant subjugation to male desire. Rape was common and considered a minor crime - the rape of a chambermaid, for example, was considered less serious than stealing a penny. The author then considers whether public prostitution might paradoxically have been seen by the secular and religious authorities as a means of social control, and of preserving marital stability: the virtue of wives and daughters was best protected by the existence of public brothels, where sexual urges could be satisfied without adultery and rape. The social background of the prostitutes, brothel-keepers, pimps, and their clientele is described. The typical procuress was not a depraved and marginal figure, but the wife of a craftsman, running the business with the approval of her husband. Most prostitutes had been forced into the profession, usually after rape and subsequent social ostracism. Yet prostitutes were not pariahs: they had extensive and sometimes elevated social contacts, and were often able to enter into respectable marriages. Medieval Prostitution will be of considerable interest to medieval historians, as well as to students of the history of the family and sexuality.'

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 2 tears to DJ (1 repaired with tape). Light foxing to top of textblock.; "If ever a dead city held romance it is Petra. . . . Hewn out of ruddy rock in the midst of a mountain wilderness, sumptuous in ornament and savage in environs, poised in wildness like a great carved opal glowing in a desert, this lost caravan city staggers the most experienced traveller." So wrote Rose Macaulay in her Pleasure of Ruins (1953) , echoing the sentiments of generations of travelers before and since. Reached through a narrow, winding crevasse between looming cliffs in south Jordan, Petra served as the capital city of the Nabatean Arabs from the third century B. C. E to 106 C. E. (when it was occupied by the Roman emperor Trajan). In this lavishly illustrated book, Maria Giulia Amadasi Guzzo and Eugenia Equini Schneider provide an accessible overview of the history and culture of the Nabateans, including their language, religion, politics, and economy, as well as a detailed guide to the city of Petra and its art and architecture. A major stop on the spice trade route, Petra attracted wealth and culture from across the Arabic and classical worlds and was abundantly furnished with more than 800 monuments. Perhaps the most well known of these is the Khazneh el-Faroun, or Treasury, a royal tomb more than 130 feet high with a magnificent Hellenistic facade carved from the salmon pink sandstone of the surrounding cliffs. But no less impressive were Petra's advanced achievements in hydraulic engineering, including elaborate water conservation systems and dams. For anyone who has felt the lure and wonder of ancient cities and civilizations in exotic locations, Petra will be a delightful and invaluable resource.; Square 4to 9" - 11" tall; 204 pages.…
