Minor shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 324 pages; From household gossip to public beatings, this social history explores the many channels through which Athenians maintained public order. Virginia Hunter draws mostly on Attic court proceedings, which allowed for a wide range of evidence, including common rumors about a defendant's character and testimony, obtained under torture, of slaves against their masters. She describes Athenian "policing" as a form of social control that took place across a range of private and public levels. Not only does policing appear to have been a collective enterprise, but its methods were embedded in a variety of social institutions, resulting in the blurring of the line between state and society. Hunter's inquiry into topics such as household authority, disputes among kin, the presence of slaves in the house, gossip in the home and neighborhood, and forms of public punishment reveals a continuum extending from self-regulation among kin to punitive actions enforced by the state. Recognizing the bias of legal documents toward the wealthy, Hunter concentrates on exposing the voices of the less powerful and less privileged members of society, including women and slaves. In so doing she is among the first to address systematically such important issues as the authority of women, self-help, and corporal punishment.

Unwrapped in Plastic. ; Philosophia Antiqua; 0.92 x 9.55 x 7.11 Inches; 512 pages; There has recently been a great deal of scholarship on the origins of rhetoric, as well as on important 4th-century figures, such as Isocrates and Alcidamas. This volumes focuses particularly on the generation before Aristotle wrote his Rhetoric, the central text of ancient Greek rhetorical theory. Individual papers concentrate on different aspects of the Peripatetics' writings, both of Aristotle and Theophrastus, their thoughts on character, emotion, logos, style, and metaphor, the influences of dramatic writings, the relationship with Plato and with the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum, and the historical contexts. Some papers offer close readings of individual passages, while others tease out information based on fragmentary references. All of the papers offer original insights based on a thorough knowledge of the original texts.

Tavola tratta dalla Cosmographiae Universalis, edizione in tedesco, Basilea, seconda metà del XVI secolo.La Cosmographiae Universalis di Sebastian Münster (1488-1552), stampata per la prima volta Basilea nel 1544 dall’editore Heinrich Petri, venne più volte aggiornata e aumentata di nuove carte geografiche e rappresentazioni urbane nelle sue numerose edizioni che arrivano all’inizio del secolo successivo. Münster aveva lavorato a raccogliere informazioni al fine di ottenere un'opera che non deludesse le aspettative e, dopo un'ulteriore pubblicazione in tedesco abbellita da 910 stampe su legno, giunse nel 1550 all'edizione definitiva in latino, illustrata da 970 silografie. Vi furono poi numerose edizioni in diverse lingue, fra cui latino, francese, italiano, inglese e ceco. Dopo la sua morte di Münster (1552), Heinrich Petri prima, e il figlio Sebastian poi, continuarono la pubblicazione dell’opera. La Cosmographia universalis fu uno dei libri più popolari e di successo del XVI secolo, e vide ben 24 edizioni in 100 anni: l'ultima edizione tedesca venne pubblicata nel 1628, molto tempo dopo la morte dell'autore. La Cosmographia conteneva non solo le ultime mappe e vedute di tutte le città più famose, ma anche una serie di notizie enciclopediche di dettagli relative al mondo conosciuto, e sconosciuto. Il particolare successo anche commerciale di quest'opera fu dovuto in parte alle belle incisioni (tra i cui autori si possono citate Hans Holbein il Giovane, Urs Graf, Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch, David Kandel). Silografia, bella coloritura a mano, in buone condizioni. Plate taken from the Cosmographiae Universalis, German edition, Basel, second half of the 16th Century. The Cosmographiae Universalis of Sebastian Münster (1488-1552), printed for the first time in Basel in 1544 by the publisher Heinrich Petri, was updated several times and increased with new maps and urban representations in its many editions until the beginning of the next century. Münster had worked to collect information in order to obtain a work that did not disappoint expectations and, after a further publication in German embellished with 910 woodblock prints, arrived in 1550 to the final edition in Latin, illustrated by 970 woodcuts. There were then numerous editions in different languages, including Latin, French, Italian, English and Czech. After his death in Münster (1552), Heinrich Petri first, and then his son Sebastian, continued the publication of the work. The Cosmographia universalis was one of the most popular and successful books of the 16th century, and saw as many as 24 editions in 100 years: the last German edition was published in 1628, long after the author's death. The Cosmographia contained not only the latest maps and views of all the most famous cities, but also a series of encyclopedic details related to the known, and unknown, world. The particular commercial success of this work was due in part to the beautiful engravings (among whose authors can be mentioned Hans Holbein the Younger, Urs Graf, Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch, David Kandel). Woodcut, beautiful hand-coloring, in good condition.
