Incisione in rame, b/n, cm 30 x 40 (la parte incisa), titolo e data entro festone sorretto da figura in basso, all’angolo destro, ricca legenda didascalica nel margine inferiore. Veduta della città e della fortezza di Koroni, con parte del Golfo di Messenia e numerosi velieri, accampamenti e costruzioni. Koroni (in francese Coron) è una cittadina della Grecia affacciata sul Mar Ionio, situata all’estremità occidentale del Golfo di Messenia, una penisola del Peloponneso occidentale. Il castello che domina la città, fu costruito in epoca bizantina, nel VI o VII secolo d. C. e Koroni, che nell’antichità era un piccolo fortilizio, divenne dunque una postazione militare di qualche importanza sotto i Bizantini. Conquistata dai veneziani nel 1206, fu persa e riconquistata nei secoli successivi da veneziani e turchi, fino alla liberazione, da parte dei francesi, nel 1828. Il castello, oggi occupato da un convento di suore, è il monumento più importante della città, pittoresco centro agricolo e turistico. Koroni e la vicina Modon erano chiamate gli occhi di Venezia perchè controllavano un importante sezione della rotta tra l’Italia e il Levante. Considerando che alla data riportata, Corone è di nuovo al centro di attenzioni, dopo secoli di lotte e rivendicazioni fra cristiani e ottomani (i veneziani conquistano Corone nel 1686, possiamo valutare il campo di battaglia raffigurato come uno dei cruciali nel destino della fortezza e del golfo omonimo. Esemplare rifilato ai margini ma oltre la parte incisa.

New English Original bdg. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English, Turkish; and Macedonian, Albanian, Serbian. 2 volumes set: (752 p. 730 p.). Proceedings of the Fourth International Congress on Islamic Civilisation in the Balkans, 12-17 October 2010. Skopje, Macedonia.= Balkanlar'da Islâm Medeniyeti Dördüncü Milletlerarasi Kongre Tebligleri, 13-17 Ekim 2010. Üsküp, Makedonya. This is a collection of the papers that were presented during the international congress on "Islamic Civilisation in the Balkans" held in the Macedonian capital Skopje in October 2010. The congress, organized in cooperation with the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MANU), was fourth in IRCICA's congress series that focus on the history and cultures of the Balkan region. The Skopje congress was accorded high patronage and opened by H.E. Gjorge Ivanov, President of the Republic Macedonia. President Ivanov also participated in the congress in his capacity as an academician and presented a paper. This State support and scholarly contribution extended to the congress underscored the importance attached to its objectives. The first volume contains the papers that were presented in English or Turkish (39 papers) and the second volume, those presented in Macedonian, Albanian or Serbian (44 papers). Located at crossroads between Europe and Western Asia, the Balkan peoples have been in contact with the Muslim world since at least the 8th century. Various phenomena, including the long experience in trade between the two regions, helped fasten the expansion process, and enhance the notable cultural role, of Islam in the Balkans. The relationship between the Muslim world and the Balkans has not only been one of encounters and exchanges but also one of coexistence. Research papers contributed to the congress addressed a wide range of topics highlighting the multicultural relations specific to the Balkan region. IRCICA's engagement in studies on the region in connection with the history of Islamic civilisation draws from the above aspects of the theme and also takes into account that two Balkan countries are members of the OIC and IRCICA: Albania is a full Member State and Bosnia and Herzegovina is an Observer State. Previously, three congresses were held on the same theme, in Sofia (2000), Tirana (2003) and Bucharest (2006) respectively. A fifth congress was held in May 2015. This program devoted to the history of Islamic civilization in the Balkans has succeeded in drawing interest and participation from around the world in addition to the Balkan countries themselves and generated a fascinating range of studies, as the contents of this publication reflect.

4 volumi in 8.vo, brossura ed. PP.XLIX+331+LVI+332, 419, 484. I primi due volumi del poema epico, scritto dal poeta vissuto nelle estreme propaggini del mondo pagano nel V secolo d.C. e a lungo dimenticato, sono stati pubblicati da Adelphi nel 1997 e nel 1999. Nella terza e penultima parte delle Dionisiache la spedizione indiana di Dioniso procede verso il trionfo inevitabile; ma Nonno conosce l'arte del differimento e della sospensione, e saranno necessarie altre peripezie per debellare il re Deriade e conquistare la sua città. I primi due volumi del poema epico, scritto dal poeta vissuto nelle estreme propaggini del mondo pagano nel V secolo d.C. e a lungo dimenticato, sono state pubblicate da Adelphi nel 1997 e nel 1999. Nei dodici canti finali delle Dionisiache - summa abbagliante del mito greco e nel contempo dei molti modi poetici, dall'epico all'erotico all'elegiaco, di quella civiltà - Nonno trascina il lettore alternando sapientemente toni, motivi e atmosfere esotiche. L'immane carneficina esito dei sei anni della guerra indiana esige che i comandanti sospendano le ostilità per onorare i morti - e la descrizione dei giochi funebri celebrati per commemorare Ofelte diventa l'occasione per una virtuosistica gara con il modello omerico. Esperto nell'arte del differimento, Nonno ne rinvia ulteriormente l'inevitabile conclusione inserendo come vertiginoso intermezzo l'episodio di Fetonte, precipitato dal cielo per aver osato guidare il Carro del Sole. Sconfitto il re degli Indiani Deriade in duello, Dioniso giunge prima in Libano, terra del suo avo Cadmo, e poi a Tebe, sua città natale. Ma una nuova serie di avventure lo porterà in altri luoghi della Grecia e in Frigia, dove, unitosi ad Aura, darà vita alla sua terza incarnazione, Iacco, il cui avvento lo libera da ogni responsabilità verso gli uomini -e consente a Nonno di chiudere il poema conducendo il suo eroe, divinizzato, sull'Olimpo. La letteratura epica greca si apre con Omero e si chiude con Nonno, sommo poeta che visse nelle estreme propaggini del mondo pagano (V secolo d.C.) e per secoli venne dimenticato. Con questo quarto volume - corredato di un saggio introduttivo, di un commento e di un Indice analitico relativo all'intero testo delle Dionisiache - si conclude l'opera avviata da Dario Del Corno nel 1997. I primi tre volumi sono apparsi presso Adelphi fra il 1997 e il 2005.

8vo, hardcover in dj, as new. xviii + 273pp., appends., bibliog., index, For the craft of Odysseus and the wisdom of Athena were examples of metis, an elusive cast of mind that ranged from wisdom and forethought to craft and cunning. Although it informed many aspects of Greek society, metis was all but absent from the language of Greek philosophy. Invoking indigenous Chinese debates, Lisa Raphals here examines the role and significance of metic intelligence in classical Chinese philosophy, literature, history, and military strategy.Raphals first examines the range of meanings of the Chinese word zhi. As with the Greek metis, the uses of zhi include "wisdom," "knowledge," "intelligence," "skill," "cleverness," and "cunning." Drawing on parallels between the two traditions, she argues that, in China as in Greece, metic intelligence tacitly informed many aspects of cultural and social life. In China, these included views of the nature of knowledge and language, standards of personal and social morality, and theories of military strategy and statecraft. After surveying representative texts from the Warring States period, Raphals considers the function of metic intelligence as the dominant quality of central characters in two novels from the Ming dynasty, the Romance of Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West. Finally, she compares the treatment of themes of heroism and recognition in the Chinese and Greek narrative traditions.
