Sidestone Press, Leiden, 2022. 156p. Richly ills.(B&W as well as full colour photographs). Paperback. Series: Palma, 26. Throughout the millennia and all over the world people have been killed by others, not only in wars and as a result of murders, but also in a ritualised way, often called human sacrifice. Much has been written about this, and research and discussion about ritual killing continue. This book offers contributions to this on-going discussion, by a re-evaluation of the term human sacrifice, arguing that not all forms of ritual killing can be considered to be sacrificial. Experts from different disciplines present new insights into the subject of ritual homicide in various regions of the ancient world. Various aspects of the phenomenon are discussed, such as offering humans to gods, making servants accompany their masters into the hereafter, and ritual killing in connection with execution of criminals and captives. While in some cultures ritual killing was accepted, others would… Read More

Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1995. XVI,378p. Cloth wrps. Wrps to lower bottom slightly water stained. Else fine. 'It would take a Donald Russell to review this handsome birthday present properly, as only he has the expertise to comment on all the contributions, which range from the sack of Corinth to phantasia in Proclus and beyond. His bibliography, which prefaces the papers (xiv-xvi), confirms (if confirmation were needed) Robin Nisbet's elegant and witty Encomium (xi-xii) to Russell's 'learning and the clarity of his discourse.' Even more of a tribute, however, and evident throughout the volume, is the inspirational influence that he has had on students and colleagues alike. The papers are grouped in three sections. 'Latin, from the Ciceronian age onwards' (...), 'Later Greek Literature' (...) and 'Ancient literary criticism' (...) As with any such collection, the quality of the papers is uneven, though on the whole these are pieces which I enjoyed and from… Read More

Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz / Franz Steiner, Wiesbaden, 1969. 22p. Wire stitched. Series: Abhandlungen der geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Klasse, Jahrgang 1969, Nr.12. 'Professor Instinsky makes two points, as a pendant to Sherwin-White, about the way people are referred to in Pliny Book X. It is the normal rule, when one Roman citizen refers to another in a formal context, to do so by 'nomen'and cognomen', or, if the man has two 'cognomina', by those two; after the first mention you go on with cognomen only. Instinsky usually manages to find plausible explanations when Pliny fails to comply with the rule (...). The second point in this study concerns the use of 'clarissimus vir', a title given four times to senators by Pliny, when referring to them in Book X. (...) The question has to be posed 'warum gerade diese vier den Titel erhalten. (...) By Pliny's days senators perhaps normally use 'clarissimus vir' when referring… Read More
