The Road To Delphi: The Life and Afterlife of Oracles

8vo, For thousands of years, and in many different cultures, cities, and states, individuals have consulted oracles in time of need. In this fascinating exploration of the history and enduring popularity of oracles, Michael Wood examines how they are interpreted and why. The inherent ambiguity of many oracular pronouncements and the ingenuity and tendentiousness of many readings of them form the basis for Wood?s analyses of oracles, both real and imagined. Using examples from actual oracles at Delphi, Dodona, and in pre-Hispanic America to fictional?but influential?oracles in literature from Oedipus to Macbeth, Wood combines storytelling and commentary to provide an entertaining and concise account of humanity?s persistent faith in signs. He also looks at later instances of oracles, arguing that consultations have evolved in many ways over the years, and that echoes and survivals of old practices in modern literature and popular culture?in the works of Kafka and in the film The Matrix, as well as in astrology columns?continue to exert an important influence over human civilization.

Wolfram, Herwig; Thomas Dunlap (Tr. )MareMagnum

THE ROMAN EMPIRE AND ITS GERMANIC PEOPLES

Dustjacket is protected in mylar. Minor scuffing to boards. ; 1.1 x 9.2 x 6.2 Inches; 379 pages; The names of early Germanic warrior tribes and leaders resound in songs and legends; the real story of the part they played in reshaping the ancient world is no less gripping. Herwig Wolfram's panoramic history spans the great migrations of the Germanic peoples and the rise and fall of their kingdoms between the third and eighth centuries, as they invaded, settled in, and ultimately transformed the Roman Empire. As Germanic military kings and their fighting bands created kingdoms, and won political and military recognition from imperial governments through alternating confrontation and accommodation, the "tribes" lost their shared culture and social structure, and became sharply differentiated. They acquired their own regions and their own histories, which blended with the history of the empire. In Wolfram's words, "the Germanic peoples neither destroyed the Roman world nor restored it; instead, they made a home for themselves within it. " This story is far from the "decline and fall" interpretation that held sway until recent decades. Wolfram's narrative, based on his sweeping grasp of documentary and archaeological evidence, brings new clarity to a poorly understood period of Western history.

WOLFF Jeremias (1633 - 1724)MareMagnum

Roma

Rara veduta panoramica della città edita dagli eredi di Jeremias Wollf ad Augsburg. La stampa, corredata da una legenda di 17 voci, mostra numerosi personaggi e animali sul primo piano. Il Tevere segue l'errato corso tipico di tutte le vedute della città di produzione nordica, tuttavia in questa incisione gli edifici sono disegnati in maniera molto più realistica e corrispondente al vero. Il prototipo iniziale per questa tipologia di panorami è identificabile nella veduta generale incisa da Israel SIlvestre nel 1642.Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva, in ottime condizioni. Rare panorama of the city edited by the heirs of Jeremias Wollf in Augsburg. The print, accompanied by a 17-item key-legend, shows numerous characters and animals in the foreground. The Tiber follows the wrong course typical of all city views of Nordic production, but in this engraving the buildings are drawn in a much more realistic way and correspond to reality. The initial prototype for this type of panorama can be identified in the general view engraved by Israel SIlvestre in 1642. Copper engraving, contemporary coloring, in very good condition. C.
