kart. / Paperback. Zustand: Gut. First Edition. XXII, 105 Seiten / p. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Introduction -- Cesare Beccaria ( 1738-1794 ) is known almost exclusively as the author of On Crimes and Punishments, a short book on criminal law reform that excited keen interest and great controversy when it was first published in 1764 and that still commands attention both for some of the issues it raises and for the answers it suggests. In many respects, however, the book was greater than its self-effacing author, a man of almost crippling shyness. Neither before nor after the publication of his seminal work did he do much to distinguish himself beyond the confines of Lombardy, his native province. -- The eldest son of an aristocratic Milanese family, Beccaria received an education which he later described as fanatical, studying at the Jesuit school in Parma and taking his law degree at the University of Pavia in 1758. In 1761, he fell madly in love with a young woman of lesser social standing than his own, and he eventually married her despite the vehement protests of his father, who claimed the full authority of a patrician paterfamilias. -- At about the time of these domestic quarrels, Beccaria met and came under the influence of Pietro Verri, another Milanese aristocrat ten years Beccarias senior. Verri had traveled abroad and had become familiar with the writings of British economists and French philosophes. Eager to bring Italy into the mainstream of Enlightenment culture and to institute practical reforms in Lombardy, which was under Austrian rule, Verri was at the center of a group of young men known as the Academy of Fists. It was in the Verri circle that Beccaria began to read Enlightenment authors, and it was at the suggestions of Pietro Verri that Beccaria undertook to write a brief work on criminal justice. Although busy with their own projects, other members of the Academy of Fists aided Beccaria, and the first copies of On Crimes and Punishments were printed in the summer of 1764. -- The book was an immediate sensation. In large measure, this was recause Beccaria went beyond the narrow confines of criminal law ( he knew relatively little about the technicalities of criminal justice ) and placed his subject in a broad social and philosophic context.

Paperback. Zustand: Sehr gut. Hackett Classics. Ill. ; Maps ; 643 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Sehr gut und sauber. - Introduction: Prokopios History of the Wars of Justinian (or simply the Wars) is one of the greatest works : f history written in antiquity or Byzantium. That is not primarily a statement about its .ength, though it is lengthy. At 1,200 pages of printed Greek, it is longer than almost every other contemporary history that has come down to us from antiquity but it also ¿overs a shorter time frame than most, about twenty-five years, making it the densest account of contemporary warfare. Because of this there are few periods of ancient history that we know as well in terms of their events and personalities. The Wars is written in ¿lear, fluid classical Greek, and rarely bores or confuses the reader. It is an engaging narrative of a fascinating period of history that would otherwise have been much more obscure to us. It draws on classical literature to offer moments of Homeric heroism, Herodotean inquiry, and Thucydidean level-headedness and rhetoric. Prokopios is always in control. The Wars is also an innovative and courageous work, two aspects that go together. The safe practice among historians of imperial Rome was to conclude their narration at the end of the previous reign, thus avoiding the choice between panegyric (flattery of the current emperor) and personal risk (telling the awful truth). Prokopios was the only one who dared to write and publish a work that covered mostly the current reign and that was generally neutral and sometimes critical of the emperor, Justinian, a ruler not known to tolerate disagreement. Prokopios reserved his most biting criticisms for a separate work, which we call the Secret History.' He also experimented with structure. Justinians armies were, at times, simultaneously active in five theaters of war: northern Mesopotamia, Lazike (ancient Koichis, modern Georgia), the Danube frontier, Italy, and North Africa. There was no precedent for writing a military history about so much going on at the same time. Prokopios tripartite solution has served historians well, though it poses difficulties too.
