Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Light rubbing to DJ. ; 168 pages; Agathias or Agathias Scholasticus (c. AD 536-582/594) , of Myrina, an Aeolian city in western Asia Minor, was a Greek poet and the historian who is a principal source for that part of the reign of Justinian I covered in his history. He studied law at Alexandria, returned to Constantinople in 554 to finish his training and practised as an advocate (scholasticus) in the courts. Literature, however, was his favourite pursuit. He wrote a number of short love-poems in epic metre, called Daphniaca. He also put together an anthology of epigrams by earlier and contemporary poets and himself, under the title of a Cycle of New Epigrams. Agathias re-edited the Greek Anthology, which preserves about a hundred of his epigrams, showing considerable taste and elegance. He also wrote marginal notes on the Periegetes of Pausanias. After the death of Justinian (565) , some of Agathias's friends persuaded him to write the history of his own times. This work in five books, On the Reign of Justinian, continues the history of Procopius, whose style it imitates, and is the chief authority for the period 552-558. It deals chiefly with the struggles of the Byzantine army, under the command of the eunuch Narses, against the Goths, Vandals, Franks and Persians.

He was Chaplain of 47th Massachusetts Volunteers for three months, then became 1st Lt of 76th Regiment of US Colored Troops, staying in the Army until 1869 when he went as preacher to the Church of the Messiah. From 1872-1879 he was at the Church of the Disciples. He then went to Switzerland and Germany for his health. Around this time he developed a relationship with Charles Woodcock (Savage). In Germany Woodcock developed a intimate (homosexual) relationship with King Karl of Germany. Hepworth was drawn into the scandal that followed but never fully accused of homosexuality. Set on the path of author and journalist he published many articles and books, Hepworth was the New York Herald's Supervising Editor from March 1885 to the summer of 1892. In 1897 he went to Anatolia and stayed through the winter. Out of this trip came his most famous work: 'Through Armenia on Horseback' (1898). SCARCE. OCCULT 12

First published in 1849, this important essay on architecture helped establish the Victorian taste for Gothic design. According to Ruskin, the leading principles of architecture are the "lamps" of Sacrifice, Truth, Power, Beauty, Life, Memory, and Obedience. He found the noblest style of architecture to be Gothic, but in time medieval architecture lost its power. He felt that this loss of vitality was the result of the spiritual decline of Christianity during the Renaissance. The essay greatly influenced Victorian art and design and flavored the tastes of generations. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W138

Special Edition for Sandpiper Books; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 0.75 x 9 x 6 Inches; 312 pages; The career of Theoderic the Ostrogoth is one of the great success stories of antiquity. From being a ruler of a barbarian people wandering around the Balkans, he became king in Italy (493-526) and established one of the most powerful of the post-Roman states. Due to its ample documentation, the Italy of Theoderic allows detailed examination of a period on the frontiers of ancient and medieval, Roman and barbarian. And due to his success in attracting the attention of some of the major literary figures of the time, new light is cast on Boethius, Cassiodorus, and Ennodius when they are considered in the context of their connections with the government. Yet Theoderic's reign, so praised by contemporaries, ended amid tension and discord. In this study, Moorhead considers whether the principles with which he governed brought about the impermanence of his achievement.
