About This Item
Cambridge University Press, London / New York, 1970. Corr. reprint 1st ed.1967. XV,715p. Original blue cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Upper corner slightly bumped. Signature on paste-down endpaper. Pp.190-199 yellowed, caused by journal article which was stored between the pages. Requires extra shipping costs: weight including packing from 2 - 5 Kg. 'The appearance of this work is particularly welcome in that it covers a period whose influence on subsequent European thought and culture has been immense, yet which has remained for the most part little known not only to the general reader but also top most contemporary philosophers and theologians (...). The contributors to the present volume are (...) all scholars of distinction and each of them provides an illuminating discussion of his own special section. (...) the volume is too short. (...) (The) most serious (defect) is the editor's failure to impose a uniform plan on all contributors, whith the result that the volume reads less like a continuous history than like a disconnencted series of essays on more or less related topics. (...) These points apart, each contributor produces much fascinating material. (...) In short, the book provides a valuable, and in parts a brilliant, treatment of its field, and will be found essential reading by many scholars for many years to come.' (R.T. WALLIS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1971, pp.233-35).

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
