RARE collection of studies on Philo of Alexandria by Leopold Jakob Jehuda Treitel (1845-1931), a renowned German-Jewish classical scholar whose main academic and scholarly interest revolved around Philo's philosophy. He was the last rabbi of the Jewish community in the town of Laupheim, then Württemberg, Southern Germany. Treitel wrote his PhD thesis on Philo in 1870 in Latin ('De Philonis Judaei Sermone Dissertatio), and published several books and articles on Philo and his philosophy, culminating in his magnus opus 'Die gesamte Theologie und Philosophie Philos von Alexandria', published in 1923. Treitel claimed that Philo employed 'rabbinic methods and patterns of interpretation, although Greek methodology did make a deep impact upon the content'. Influenced by Frankel and Graetz, Treitel attempted to demonstrate the importance of Philo's philosophy to Jewish thinking, particularly because of Philo's emphasis on the social order of Jewish life and the universal interpretation of the Jewish scriptures, and also because he 'did not imply an abrogation of the law, but rather to the contrary its wider dissemination and thus affirmation'. 235x155mm. VI+130 pages. Black/grey marbled rebound board Hardcover with cloth spine and corners. Cover yellowing. Rear cover/spine rear hinge upper edge peeled. Spine edges bumped. Sticker on spine hinges upper part. Age-stains on inner cover, whitepages and title page. Some pages bottom corner/edge slightly creased. Color pencil/pen marks near text on some pages.

Former owner's bookplate on inner cover. Light shelfwear. ; Clarendon Paperbacks; 600 pages; This book explores the practicalities, cultural assumptions, and affective possibilities of marriage during the later Republic and the Principate. It offers a fresh look at the interaction of law and reality within Roman marriage, and builds on the accumulation of legal scholarship in the field, as well as on the the latest insights into Roman society. Treggiari demonstrates that marriage affected a Roman woman's social status, and that while the socio-legal effect on a man was far less striking, marriage did enable a man to father legitimate children, the main object of the institution. The study also addresses the influences on the choice of partner, behavioral norms, and motives for divorce.

Former owner's name on titlepage. Foxing to first few pages. ; Hesperia Supplement XIV; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 150 pages; Using inscriptions recording council membership recovered by excavations in the Athenian Agora, the author presents a detailed reconstruction of the political geography of Attica. The reforms of the 6th-century B. C. Politician Cleisthenes organized Athenian citizens into ten tribes (phylai) , divided into thirty "thirds" (trittyes) and 139 local units (demes). The author shows how this visionary arrangement was maintained almost unchanged until at least 200 B. C. And provided the basis for the whole representative system at the center of ancient democracy. Charts and tables document the evidence in great detail, but the whole arrangement is made easier to understand by the inclusion of a color map, the basis for almost all scholarship on Athenian politics since this book was first published.
