Small bump to foreedge of front cover. Faint bump to base of spine. ; Mnemosyne , Vol Suppl. 233; 378 pages; What was funny about ancient jokes, and why? Why did the Roman state legislate to curb the behaviour of its obscenely rich and powerful elite, if it never really expected such laws to be obeyed? Why did it oppress the poor, and lavish public child support on them? These are important questions, but ancient Greeks and Romans could never have thought of them. They never questioned the right of the rich to be rich. They could not improve their understanding of Homeric gift-giving with the experience of ritualized friendship among the Trobriand islanders. Such questions and such answers can only come from those who live after the ancient past. This volume honours the well-known Dutch epigraphist and ancient historian H. W. Pleket. Ten substantial essays reflect his wide range, from early Greece to the Roman Empire, and his taste for comparative economic and social history.

br. Nella Grecia delle origini la follia non fu solo malattia, ma mezzo per forzare i limiti dell'anima e dilatare la personalità. Faceva parte dell'esperienza religiosa, stava alla base dell'attività di profeti e persino di politici, era la voce degli oracoli. C'era metodo in quella pazzia: ispirava poeti e cantori, né mancavano culti estatici, come quello di Dioniso, in cui gli adepti avevano esperienze visionarie, come tuttora avviene nei riti di possessione diffusi in numerose altre civiltà. In Grecia i pazzi non venivano reclusi: piuttosto la società era capace di modellare la follia al proprio interno, sfruttandola in modo creativo. Questo libro mostra quanto la stessa civiltà dell'Occidente debba alla non-ragione.
Padova, 1992, estratto, pp. 39/56 con 21 tav. f.t. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

pp. (14), 182, (18). The very thin paper used to cancel a4 and b4 has deteriorated - completely on a4. Text in Greek with Latin notes. Three engraved portraits have apparently been removed. ** Extensive manuscript translations into English. 8vo. (in 4). [18 5 x 113 mm.] Contemporary full calf binding. Boards tooled in blind with several frames. Cracked at joints. Early ownerships, including: Jacob Nash, Oxford and E.G. Davis, 1847. Dibdin I:487. Aeschine s (Ca. 390?314 B.C.), Athenian orator and polititian, was a great rival of Demosthenes (384??322 B.C.). He rose from humble circumstances and became powerful in politics because of his oratorical gift s. At first he opposed Philip II of Macedon, then later changed sides, arguing that resistance to Macedonian power was useless. Both he and Demosthenes were members of the embassy to Philip in 348 B.C ., and afterward Demosthenes bitterly and baselessly accused Aeschines of accepting Macedonian bribes. He was to have been joined in his action by Timarchus, but Aeschines prevented this by his oratio n Against Timarchus (345 B.C.). Aeschines defended himself well in his oration On the False Legation (342 B.C.)?a title also used by Demosthenes in his accusatory oration. The trouble between the orat ors grew and culminated in a dispute over a gold crown that the orator Ctesiphon proposed should be given Demosthenes in 330 B.C. Aeschines brought suit with Against Ctesiphon. Demosthenes replied wit h his sturdy defense On the Crown. Aeschines lost and was fined, and retired to Asia Minor where, according to Plutarch, he lived as a professional Sophist. This is offered as much for its manuscript interest as for it being an early printing. W120
