A few correction by Fantham in pencil. Very light shelfwear to DJ.; This book traces the transmission and reception of one of the most influential novels in Western literature. The Golden Ass the only ancient Roman novel to survive in its entirety tells of a young man changed into an ass by magic and his bawdy adventures and narrow escapes before the goddess Isis changes him back again. Its centerpiece is the famous story of Cupid and Psyche. Julia Gaisser follows Apuleius' racy tale from antiquity through the sixteenth century tracing its journey from roll to codex in fourth-century Rome into the medieval library of Monte Cassino into the hands of Italian humanists into print and finally over the Alps and into translation in Spanish French German and English. She demonstrates that the novel's reception was linked with Apuleius' reputation as a philosopher and the persona he projected in his works. She relates Apuleius and the Golden Ass to a diverse cast of important literary and historical figures--including Augustine Fulgentius Petrarch Boccaccio Bessarion Boiardo and Beroaldo. Paying equal attention to the novel's transmission how it survived and its reception how it was interpreted she places the work in its many different historical contexts examining its representation in art literary imitation allegory scholarly commentary and translation. The volume contains several appendixes including an annotated list of the manuscripts of the Golden Ass.; Martin Classical Lectures; 408 pages; Signed by Author . 0691131368 .

199733632Oxford University Press. 1997. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear. Review of book by Jenifer Neils- also her copy tipped in.; Oxford Classical Monographs; 0.85 x 8.75 x 5.62 Inches; 304 pages; Greek myth-makers crafted the downfall of Troy and its rulers into an archetypal illustration of ruthless conquest deceit crime and punishment and the variability of human fortunes. This book examines the major episodes in the archetypal myth - the murder of Priam the rape of Kassandra the reunion of Helen and Menelaos and the escape of Aineias - as witnessed in Archaic Greek epic fifth-century Athenian drama and Athenian black- and red-figure vase painting. It focuses in particular on the narrative artistry with which poets and painters balanced these episodes with one another and intertwined them with other chapters in the story of Troy. The author offers the first comprehensive demonstration of the narrative centrality of the Ilioupersis myth within the corpus of Trojan epic poetry and the first systematic study of pictorial juxtapositions of Ilioupersis scenes on painted vases. . 0198150644 .

200144467Rizzoli. 2001. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Very light bump to 1 corner of book. DJ has edgewear and minor chipping.; The Etruscans have long been a rich source of research and intellectual inquiry as the most significant ethnic group who resided in ancient Etruria current-day Tuscany and Umbria in Italy. A well-defined polity the Etruscans were an advanced people whose presence on the Italian peninsula from the 8th to 4th century B. C. Had an enormous impact on Roman culture whose rise of power saw the collapse of Etruscan civilization. This book is extensive in its scope; it traces the rise of the Etruscans at the end of the Bronze Age; examines the economic structure of the society; explores the emergence of a powerful aristocracy in the period from 750-650 B. C. ; and considers the religious and cultural life of the group. This knowledge has largely been gleaned from a wealth of monuments and material culture which the Etruscans left behind including architecture the various forms of which indicate familial structure and socio-economic standing not to mention the larger social structure of Etruscan society and applied arts such as bronze objects for both ceremonial use and everyday life which were produced by an artisan class for a wealthy and demanding aristocracy. Etruscan contributions to the history of art are also of immense importance and are explored in depth in this volume. Etruscan wall painting was exceptional in that it is one of the few examples of pre-Roman artistic production of this genre. Sculpture was also a relatively highly developed form of art and the Etruscans are known for their important experiments with form. Noted scholar Mario Torelli editor of the book gathers here an illuminating collection of essays reflective of the most current research on the Etruscans. As a professor of classical archaeology for nearly three decades who has directed archeological digs at some of the most significant Etruscan sites Torelli offers a unique insight into the scholarly terrain of Etruscan studies. Torelli also contributes a substantive essay on Etruscan religion exploring the rather exceptional character of this important aspect of Etruscan life. Lavishly illustrated with beautiful reproductions of Etruscan art and culture this impressive catalogue explores every aspect of the Etruscan people and their artistic and cultural legacy in the most expansive consideration of their enormous contribution to Western culture to date.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 672 pages; Heavy book. . 0847823911 .
