Covers the rigors of the Great Depression, starvation in the midst of plenty, the clash of ideologies, the threat of World War II and fascism, and the crushed hopes and dreams of a young educator 20 years later during the McCarthy reaction, for having dared to study the causal factors of human misery and to dream about viable alternatives....

Scholars' bookplate to inner cover (Slater & Dunbabin). Slater has contributed one of the essays. Else very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; This volume richly illustrates the multiple ways in which epigraphy enables historical analysis of the postclassical polis (city-state) across a world of geographically dispersed poleis: from the Black Sea and Asia Minor to Sicily via the Aegean and mainland Greece. The collection of 16 papers looks at themes such as the modes of interaction between polis and ruling powers, the construction of ethnic and social identity, interstate and civil conflict and its resolution, social economics, institutional processes and privileges, polis representations, ethics, and, not least, religious phenomena. The contributions range from "hard epigraphy" to sophisticated conceptual studies of aspects of the postclassical polis, and approach the inscriptions both as textual objects and as artefacts. The aim of this volume is to identify the postclassical polis both as a reality and as a constructed concept, not only a monolithic block, but a result of tension in the exercise of different kinds of powers. All the individual contributions of this collective volume show that the postclassical polis, both as a reality and as a representation, is the result of negotiations, ancient and modern; but they also illustrate how much of our understanding of the polis is built on patient, painstaking work on the inscriptions. ; Oxford Studies In Ancient Documents; 9.3 X 6.4 X 1.2 inches; 400 pages

First edition. Period boards. 8vo. 151 pages, 25 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to Critical Evidence Against Wellhausen. Born in Hungary in 1843, Hoffmann was first a teacher and then rector of the Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin, succeeding Israel Hildesheimer, the Seminary's founder, in 1899. He wrote more than half a dozen books, and numerous essays and articles, some of which covered the Seminary. Among Hoffmans intellectual opponents was Julius Wellhausen, who first presented the possibility that the bible was written by numerous narrators. Hoffmann criticized Wellhausen on the grounds that his theory rested entirely on textual analysis while ignoring other disciplines such as archaeology. This book was published for this purpose.
