Zustand: Gut. 328 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - The Second Sophistic was a time of intense competition for honour and status. Like today, this often caused mental as well as physical stress for the elite of the Roman Empire. Lieve Van Hoof presents a study of Plutarchs practical ethics, a group of twenty-odd texts within the Moralia designed to help powerful Greeks and Romans successfully manage both their own ambitions and the expectations of their society. According to Plutarch (c. AD 45 - 120), the key for a happy life lies with philosophy, yet instead of advancing philosophical values as an alternative for worldly ambitions, as did other philosophers, he presents philosophy as a way towards distinction and success in Imperial society. By thus subtly redefining what elite culture should be like, Plutarch also firmly establishes himself as an intellectual and cultural authority. Van Hoof combines a systematic analysis ol the general principles underlying Plutarchs practical ethics, including the authors target readership, therapeutic practices, and self-presentation, with five innovative e^se studies (of De Tranquillitate, De Exilic, De Garrulitate, De Curiositate, De Tuenda Sanitate). A picture emerges of philosophy under the Roman Empire not.as a set of abstract, theoretical doctrines, but as a kind of symbolic capital engendering power and prestige for author and reader alike.Transcending the boundaries between literature, social history, and philosophy. Van Hoof demonstrates the pertinence and vitality of this often neglected group of texts, and shows Plutarch to be not just a philanthropic adviser, but a sophisticated author strategically manipulating his own cultural capital in pursuit of influence and glory.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Of Gothic descent, Jordanes wrote a unique set of histories. The Getica narrates the history of the Goths from their earliest origins until the middle of the sixth century. Building on the lost history of Cassiodorus, it is the earliest example of a history told from the perspective of one of the barbarian peoples establishing kingdoms in the fifth and sixth centuries. It had great influence on later medieval historians, on national histories of the nineteenth century and on modern accounts of Gothic history. The Romana is a survey of world and Roman history. Whilst largely dependent on traditional Roman histories and chronicles for events up to the fourth century, it contains much unique information for the last two centuries it narrates. This book offers the first translation into English of the Getica for a century and the first modern translation of the Romana. The introduction locates the Getica and the Romana in the context of ancient historiography, building a new picture of Jordanes as a historian and of the two works themselves. It also offers a detailed discussion of the sources used by Jordanes, suggesting possible ways to identify his debt to Cassiodorus. Extensive notes guide the reader through these fascinating but often complex texts.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - A professor of Greek rhetoric, frequent letter writer and influential social figure, Libanius (AD 314-393) is a key author for anybody interested in late antiquity, ancient rhetoric, ancient epistolography and ancient biography. Nevertheless, he remains understudied because it is such a daunting task to access his large and only partially translated oeuvre. This volume, which is the first comprehensive study of Libanius, offers a critical introduction to the man, his texts, their context and reception. Clear presentations of the orations, progymnasmata, declamations and letters unlock the corpus, and a survey of all available translations is provided. At the same time, the volume explores new interpretative approaches of the texts from a variety of angles. Written by a team of established as well as upcoming experts in the field, it substantially reassesses works such as the Autobiography, the Julianic speeches and letters, and Oration 30 For the Temples.…
