Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is designed to appeal both to those interested in Roman poetry and to specialists in ancient philosophy. In it David Sedley explores Lucretius' complex relationship with Greek culture, in particular with Empedocles, whose poetry was the model for…his own, with Epicurus, the source of his philosophical inspiration, and with the Greek language itself. He includes a detailed reconstruction of Epicurus' great treatise On Nature, and seeks to show how Lucretius worked with this as his sole philosophical source, but gradually emancipated himself from its structure, transforming its raw contents into something radically new. By pursuing these themes, the book uncovers many unrecognised aspects of Lucretius' methods and achievements as a poetic craftsman.

Brill, Leiden (.), 1999. IX,231p. Original greey gilt stamped cloth with dust wrps. Series: Mnemosyne, Supplementum 186. Nice copy. Like new. 'The volume contains eleven papers from 1974-1997, presenting a coherent and rich study of Lucretius' theories of human development (.) and applied psychology (.). Its audience will be sch…olarly perforce: it presupposes not merely the absence of malign ' Anglo-Saxon' monoglottism (p.170) - ten essays are in French, one in German - but a facility with the rather testing Greek of the scholia on Epicurus. (There are no translations of Latin or Greek, even when the readings are controversial or corrupt. Those who pass these hurdles will be infuriated by its inept system of bibliographical references, amused by the odd error in the transcription of English (.), but richly rewarded by its profound learning and suggestive conclusions. Whether of not one accepts these conclusions, Schrijvers's method in these papers - 'confronting' Lucretius' iedeas with the full array of ancient thought on the relevant issues in order to reveal his intellectual background (p.VII)- is consistently illuminating.
