Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; As Greek and Trojan forces battled in the shadow of Troy's wall, Hephaistos created a wondrous, ornately decorated shield for Achilles. At the Shield's center lay two walled cities, one at war and one at peace, surrounded by fields and pasturelands. Viewed as Homer's blueprint for an ideal, or utopian, social order, the Shield reveals that restraining and taming Nature would be fundamental to the Hellenic urban quest. It is this ideal that Classical Athens, with her utilitarian view of Nature, exemplified. In a city lacking pleasure gardens, it was particularly worthy of note when Epicurus created his garden oasis within the dense urban fabric. The disastrous results of extreme anthropocentrism would promote an essentially nostalgic desire to break down artificial barriers between humanity and Nature. This new ideal, vividly expressed through the domestication of Nature in villas and gardens and also through primitivist and Epicurean tendencies in Latin literature, informed the urban endeavors of Rome. ; Hellenic Studies 21; 8.9 X 5.4 X 0.5 inches; 220 pages

1693016899Spread Eagle Westminster hall : Matthew Gillyflower & James Partidge 1693. First English edition. Illustrated with an engraved portrait frontispiece nine engraved plates of eleven - so LACKING two plates a few small wooducts in the text many charming engraved chapter headings folio title page printed in red and black pp 42 188 208 4 80 the top bottom and fore-edge red a few blemishes internally but overall very clean the hinge before the frontispiece cracked but sound contemprary calf rebacked probably in the ealy nineteenth century a little bumped and worn the spine with more wear and a little splitting and fraying at the head and tail. An early un-named owner obviously a knowledgeable and proficient gardener has contributed half a page of manuscript notes on the first front blank in which he questions inter alia why the author has not included mustard-seed in the list of all things that a kitchen-garden should contain; there are also neat marginal notes throughout in the same hand - these are in no way detrimental and indeed enhance the book.
