A detailed description of the collection is available via pdf on our website on the catalogues page. The Language of Flowers phenomenon flourished for almost eighty years beginning in France in the early 19th century. As both potent and subtle symbols in Western culture flowers are found in religious texts poetry heraldic and emblematic literature from the classical period and early Christianity through medieval literature and the enlightenment. In the early 19th century books were written and published for the first time under titles such as Abécédaire de Flore ou Langage des Fleurs 1811 Oracles de Flore 1816 Emblemes de Flore et des Végéaux 1819 and Le Langage des Fleurs 1819. With those publications the language of flowers and its exploration of floral symbolism in communication - usually as a language of love and romance - gained acceptance and popularity. During its nascent years in France the language of flowers had a relatively limited affluent audience but once publishers saw the potential for profit and obtained the ability to print and illustrate books on a large scale they began to publish language of flowers texts in the popular formats of literary annuals gift books and almanacs. By 1830 the genre was widely available to a new world of fervent book buyers and readers in the working and middle classes. The vogue for language of flowers books was so prevalent that it became the subject of parodies and satires by among others Frederick Marryat and J. J. Grandville. Herman Melville was a devotee of symbolic flower language and referred to it in Mardi and Pierre and poems written to his wife Lizzie. The core of this collection of language of flowers titles was assembled by Doris Ann Elmore a French teacher in San Francisco and lifelong Francophile. The collection is unusual for its scope.

Spine slightly darkened. Endpapers browned.; From Classical Quarterly: "Sir Stephen Gaselee who died in June 1943 was as is widely known a devoted student of Petronius. He read the book first in 1901 when he was still at Eton; two years later he already possessed nearly a hundred Petroniana and was distributing to booksellers a short bibliography which he had compiled in order that they might help to fill the gaps in his collection. Petronius was the subject of the Fellowship dissertation which he submitted unsuccessfully at King's in 1908. It comprised a copy of Buecheler's editio minor interleaved with foolscap sheets on which was written a critical and epexegetical commentary and a substantial volume of typescript entitled Some Materials for an Edition of Petronius and dealing with the personality of the author the place of his book in Classical literature its literary history the manuscripts and the printed editions. The last section was presently expanded into a long paper which with a handlist was presented to the Bibliographical Society in 1909. In the following year appeared a large and expensive reprint of the earliest English translation of Petronius for which Gaselee supplied an introduction and a Latin text. In 1915 he published at his own cost a collotype facsimile of that part of the Codex Traguriensis which contains the Cena Trimalchionis adding a preface and an annotated transcript of the facsimile. In 1916 Gaselee went to the Foreign Office and except for a brief interval in 1919 worked there until his death. He continued to collect Petroniana and to note in his interleaved text parallel passages and suggestions of other scholars but the leisure necessary for the preparation of his own edition was never at his disposal. Thenceforward his contributions to the subject are both few and slight"; 4to 11" - 13" tall . Cambridge At the University Press hardcover

199639809University of Michigan Press. 1996. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Very faint bump to head of spine else fine.; Toward the end of the last century Cicero's work came under attack from several angles. His political stance was sharply criticized for inconsistency by Theodor Mommsen and others his philosophical works for lack of originality. Since then scholars have come to a better understanding of the political conditions that informed the views of Mommsen and his contemporaries about Caesar and Cicero and as a result Cicero's writings have been restored to a more appropriate position in the literature and history of the Roman Republic. At the same time recent years have seen an intensive study of Hellenistic philosophy and this has shown more clearly than before that even while following Greek models Cicero nonetheless pursued his own political and in the ethical works moralistic agenda. Composed in haste shortly before Cicero's death de Officiis has exercised enormous influence over the centuries. It is all the more surprising that Andrew R. Dyck's volume is the first detailed English commentary on the work written in this century. It deals with the problems of the Latin text taking account of Michael Winterbottom's new edition it delineates the work's structure and sometimes elusive train of thought clarifies the underlying Greek and Latin concepts and provides starting points for approaching the philosophical and historical problems that de Officiis raises. A work of major importance for classicists philosophers and ancient historians this Commentary will be an invaluable companion to all readers of Cicero's last philosophical work.; 760 pages . 0472107194 .
